Arizona officials say Purple haze caused by marijuana .

Yeah I cherry pick the title . But what a title !

Talk about click bait. 😬

The LED grow lights are purple in color to give plants light across the spectrum.

Then just when I was having fun reading the article I got a groan moment.

Some people complained about light pollution, while others said it was pretty.

I hate humans they ruin everything .

It’s located in “snowflake” Arizona.

So I should’ve seen the light pollution thing coming .

The lights look purple from a distance, but it's normally nothing like this.
Water droplets in the low-lying fog reflected the light, which made it spread across the sky.

In Air Force terminology that’s called swamp gas.


if you remember the 70s you weren’t there

you are incorrect, Marijuana causes purple haze. A particular strain with a very distinct taste and effect. Almost a magical anomaly, or so some guy told me.

Remember the TV commercial of some online buying site where everybody's head explodes in purple smoke?
don't know why that came to mind

Good job !

Talk about the subject not personal use remember the TOS . 👍

Jesus wept, I thougt they were talking about the lyrics of Purple Haze. Well being as I lived through the 60s and 70s I can safely say that 80% of the music at that time was drug related. And no I'm not going to name them as I can't remember as sometimes the Heebie Jeebies had me.

I have no clue about this thread and won't read it, but you say Hendrix and marijuana in same sentence and I'm in.

Grow lights?

Well, lights at night are not good for plants in nature. I do not know what those purple lights will do though. I do know that the LED lights are much worse than the old streetlights on the trees in close proximity to the light.

But if the light is a couple of hundred feet away from the trees, I think the negative effects will be reduced to a somewhat better level. But I am not a botanist, so I do not really know for sure.

The threat ain’t you moving much so how about some music .

Yup

I got a hankering to play some 60s and 70s music.

But because of what you said I don’t know if it’s a good idea ?

Because of what you said in the thread title Brewer and Shipley would be the perfect fit .


Peace 🌈🌸🦄✌️

A local lettuce factory does that here.

If one "remembers" the 70s , they were not there.

You could slot in a track as I don't know how to do it. Something like Freebird, the original vertion.

Or they might be taking another avenue. I did a rough draft and I must be doing something wrong .

It takes 10,000 ft.² to produce 400 pounds of marijuana in a greenhouse .

There’s about 40,000 ft.² to an acre .

There’s 40 acres of green houses on there .

400 lbs
X. 4 per acre
= 1600
X. 40 acres
= 64,000
X 4 Low end of crop yields
= 256,000
X 2,000 per pound
= 512,000,000
— .30% cost ( return on investment )
= $358,400,000 net per year

That’s a very rough tally and it doesn’t include capital investment on land or infrastructure . Just the grow cost with utility included .



Like I said that’s got to be wrong.

What did I do ?

Just the grow cost with utilities. But with numbers like that who would care ?

Snowflake is east of Phoenix and it’s barely a town. Not a bad little place to stop if you have time on the drive to Payson from Phoenix.

Haven’t seen the purple sky but I’ll ask some of my coworkers who live in eastern Phoenix metro area they probably have.

That looks pretty super cool with the snow like that in the dark. I hope the apocalypse looks like that man. Yeah man. Totally wicked. Space brah. Space.
