    Default Growers Abbreviations thread.

    This is a thread were members can add growing abbreviations to help newbies learn the lingo.

    Here's a few to start,

    12/12 - Lighting period usually used in Flowering

    18/6 - Lighting period usually used in Vegetative growth

    24/0 - Lighting on constant

    AC - Alternating current (mains)

    Auto - A plant with an automatic flowering time, regardless of change in light hours.

    BG - background ec or British Green

    BOTM - bud of the month

    CBD - Cannabidiol

    CC - constant current (a mode where the driver maintains a constant IF by varying VF )

    CDM - Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide

    CFL - Compact Florescent Lamp

    CFM - cubic feet per minute

    COB - Chips On Board

    CRI - Colour rendering Index - Measurement of what the eye can see under certain lighting conditions, Daylight/Filament bulbs 100%, MH 70%, HPS 22%

    CURE - Not a band... The last process before you smoke your own harvest

    CV - constant voltage ( a mode where the driver varies IF to maintain a steady VF)

    DC - Direct Current (Usually battery or power supply)

    DO - dissolved oxygen

    DSLR - Digital single lens reflex

    DWC - Deep water culture

    E40 - Eddison 40 Screw trhread. Standard fitting on most HPS/MH lamps

    EC - Electrical Conductivity

    EC - Electronically commutated, which applies to modern grow fans. AC is converted to DC giving superior control and efficiency.

    Efficacy - The ability to produce the desired result ( dried flowers ) and is often measured in grams per watt or PPF per joule of energy

    F1 - First generation clone

    FFS - For fucks sake

    FIM - To pinch or cut the newest growth
    OR
    F.I.M - fuck I missed ( when topping a plant he missed instead of two heads he got three )

    FML - fuck my life (very important one that)

    GLR - Gas lamp routine

    GPW - Grams per watt

    HID - High Intensity Discharge

    HPS = High Pressure Sodium.

    HST - High stress training

    IF - Forward DC driving current

    Imo - In my opinion

    Imho - In my humble opinion

    JAT - Just A Thought.

    K - Kelvin Scale. Colour temperature - Lower more red, Higher more Blue

    K.O.E.D - king of early darts (Always British Green lol)

    kWh - Measurement of power used in one hour

    LEC - Light Emitting Ceramic

    LED - Light Emitting Diode

    LST - Low stress training

    Lumen - Measurement of light output of bulb

    M3/hour - Extraction rate of your fan

    M_C - One of the admins here

    M.C/S.C - Monster clone or super clone ( clones cuttings taken when in flower and re_vegged )

    MH - Metal Halide

    NPK - the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium within a fertiliser or medium

    Nutes - nutrient/fertiliser

    PAR - photosynthetic active radiation

    PARA - Parabolic shade

    PH - Potential of hydrogen

    PH - Measure of how acidic/alkalaine fluid is. Range 0 - 14, 7 being neutral

    Photo - A plant that requires it's light cycle to change to 12 hours light/12 hours dark in order to begin the process of flowering

    POETS day - Piss off early tomorrow is Saturday (British Green's Favorite day)

    POTM - plant of the month

    PPFD - photosynthetic photon flux density

    PSU - Power supply unit

    PSI - Pounds/Square Inch

    RDWC - Recirculating Deep Water Culture

    RES - Reservoir

    RH - Relative Humidity

    RO - Reverse Osmosis

    SOG - Sea of green - A growing technique where lots of plants are packed together (No more than 10 obviously)

    ScrOG - Screen Of Green

    T5 - Fluorescent tube lighting with ideal spectrum for seedlings/Vegetative growth

    TBSH - the big strain hunt

    THC - Tetrahydrocannabinol

    TOP - To cut the newest node off completely (usually 4th or 5th)

    VEG - The plants growth period before the flowering/fruiting stage

    VF - Forward DC voltage for driving LED cob or board

    Watt - Unit of power, usually measured in kW

    WPOTM - worst plant of the month

    Feel free to add to help
