RE: Dimmable Ballsts I have a YieldLab 1000 watt dimmable electronic ballast and a bit of a technical question: If I dim to 50%, am I reducing the wattage DRAW from the wall by 50%, or does the ballast just "choke" 50% of the output to the bulb (while still pulling the full wattage from the...

put a load of shake in a large container filled with Everclear (190 Proof). How long do i have to soak a cheesecloth bag of shake to extract the thc? Trying an evaporative process to hopefully wind up with some pretty good sludge. I think i have 3-4 loads to soak before draining off most of the...

What can I do to prevent my newly-sprouted plants from falling over? Once they break the surface, I have them close under a T-5 starter and a small fan to help strengthen the stalk. This morning I came down to find two sprouts laying over. I have them supported now. How soon can I put them under...

How long does butter stay potent when refrigerated? Should butter be frozen? If so, does long-term storage, say, 6 months, affect the potency?

Can someone please tell me what the acronym 'S.A.G.E.' stands for?

I have 100% Sativa that has a 65-75 day flowering period. Today is 61st day and pistils/trichomes look 'done'. Is it possible that these ladies finished early? Anyone else?

How long can I keep the "shake" (bud trimmings) - I'd like to try to make some dry ice hash. Is there a way to store shake to preserve it? And while I'm at it, how does freezing effect weed?
