You may not need all of that thread. Pressure test it before you keep torquing it.

My 5# reads 900 when full and warm, and 600 when it goes in the fridge. Might be best to take your tank and regulator back to the place you got if filled. They might check the regulator for you to see if the gauges work.

Those outdoor lights lose intensity at an exponential rate. They are worthless for growlights. Your plants may know that they are there, but they won't be helpful. A good dark cycle where plants change their 'breathing cycle' is a better way to grow.

+1. Also, flowering/fruiting plants have different light spectrum/intensity requirements. Flowering plants need very intense light. Flourescents/incandescents wont's do the trick here.

Light intensity will keep the plants from stretching. I seriously doubt the plants will get any help from a street light.

Do you have a pump? You could recirc the cooled wort back to your kettle until you get to a temperature that you can go to your carboy with.

Yes, Enron made a lot of money telling people they had money that actually wasn't there. Reminds me of something else always in these threads...:mug:

Amen. Personally, the reason I started brewing was that I tired of paying $37.99 for a flat of garbage ('John Labatt's Blue, the good stuff' - what a crock). I've never really gotten off only brewing because it's wonderful (although I have now discovered that it is). If I could buy better...

The other possibility I have been investigating is my steam mashing. It's possible I'm locally overshooting my mash temp when hitting the MLT with steam via the manifold. Even though I stir rigorously, it is still possible I guess.

Rip it out immediately and remove it from the premises immediately or you'll be sorry.

When you plant them, use a large hole with a good mix of light soil. Maybe a mix of peat/manure/wormcastings/perlite/vermiculite. Also, use a bit of landscape fabric to keep the weeds down around it. It will make it easier to get them out of the ground.

Could be the locknut, or may be need some lube. See if you can back it all the way out and look at the threads.
