1. VIDEOS
Here you’ll find our document videos, the majority we’ve created, that go to promoting logical pathways to responsible legislation and regulation that creates an environment in which we can all grow and prosper. The way we see it we’re ALL connected to each by the food we must eat. Therefore it’s imperative we find ways to work within the natural resources we have available to us, to create sustainable and environmentally responsible ways to care for ourselves and each other. We hope you find our video of interest and will learn that change must come from within. That starts now with you!

3. THE RESTORATION ACT
The Restoration Act is meant to be bridge legislation when Prop 64 is ruled illegal in a judicial proceeding. It is not imperative that whatever permanent or temporary legislation is called when a judge rules that Prop 64 and any subsequent law passed from it, illegal. What is important is that the replacement legislation contain much of the ideas as set forth in the Restoration Act.

4. ARTIFICIAL PLANT LIGHTING
My background in artificial plant lighting started in the 80’s when we used to use old High Pressure Sodium (HPS) street lights to grow indoors. Prior to HPS I had dabbled High Output (HO) and Very High Output (VHO) florescent lamps but when HPS came out it wasn’t so much about spectrum which the HO and VHO lamps emitted awesome vegetative state spectrums but in flower we knew we were missing something. That something turned out to be spectrums. The very spectrums HPS offered in flower but not so much in Veg. So here I am years later, after having my own grow light company, Inda-Gro which produced a type of florescent known as Electro-Florescent Discharge Lamp (EFDL) which allowed me to experiment with not only the intensities and spectrums but with the photo-chemical controls that trigger the plants flowering response bases on the hours of light it sees and how long it takes to slip from a photosynthetically active state of absorbing photons (daylight) to a sleep state where that stored daylight energy begins converting that stored energy (nighttime) into the sugar that becomes flower.
Keep in mind one thing as you review these links and posts. Plant lighting and controls technologies that improve flower quality, increase yields and decrease times to harvest are continually improving and being discovered. The one thing that has never changed is how plants absorb light. They don’t care what brand you have hanging over them or what you paid for those lights. It’s your job as the seasoned indoor farmer to give the plants what they need and to align yourself with a brand that will support you when there are warranty related issues. To that end I will not post anything in this section that I do not believe meets those criteria for us here at 151 Farms and ultimately what might be one of your farms.
