Ibtl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[charface]

I hate myself so I sometime lash out at others that have similiar qualities that trouble me.
That is all.

Any info I give is based on what I would be comfortable doing.
Please get other opinions.

In nature plants don't live in plastic buckets but at my house they do or they get the f**k out.

 

[DNAprotection]

i would agree that we all have a bit of that dynamic at play here and such (in part) was the inspiration for this thread...the other part was motivated from true disdain for cheese lol...

 

[charface]

Never ran across him yet but Ill
assume he/she is a bad egg and that you share similar revolting traits.
But only for the sake and within the confines of your thread.
Fair warning if cheese shows up here I may have to turn on you
depending on the intimidation factor.
Just know, you were always my favorite.
hugs

I dislike any poster who parses an issue, seizes on a particular datum and then proceeds to argue that is the defining point about the issue. In other words, I don't like dishonesty in a discussion amongst normal people, leave that to the real politicians.

There are multiple childish posters on RIU, in the politics forum, who insist on name-calling and add nothing to the discussion. A little bit of insulting prose is a good thing and to be expected, but you must always tie the insults to the topic under discussion else it is just boring and pointless. A little light banter, with insults can be entertaining as well and is good fun.

I take issue with the newbies who after growing 4 or five plants under CFL start threads offering to give advice to other newbies like they actually know something. Worse yet are the ones who troll good help threads with responses that start ....."I heard from a guy".

I know what you mean.
A couple of years ago in one of the forums, a new member was asking when was the best time to start his plants outdoors.
He got a reply from another new member saying, he waits until daylight savings.
I searched for that thread a couple of times to use as a joke but I think the kid edited the post.

"I heard from a guy...." or
"I read in another thread..."
is often someone's way of seeking clarification for new knowledge.
If it's relevant to the discussion it can be helpful (by being confirmed as correct by more experienced growers)
or be exposed as incorrect (which is also helpful).

If someone prefixes their post with such a warning, about the actual validity of the information,
I see no reason why it should cause annoyance.
It's a honest way of joining a discussion.
It's also how a newbie learns.

Most of the more experienced growers are extremely generous with their knowledge
and patient with a newbies misconceptions.
I do, however, take issue with the rare occasions when an experienced grower seems to resent a newbies inclusion in a thread.
This often happens when an experienced grower seems to feel they do not get the praise they deserve.

But the truly expert amongst us (DoubleJJ, Getawaymountain, Jondamon, Nuggbuckets,.....etc) are never dismissive or condescending to so called 'Newbies'.

^^^^^^^^^

For your edification I was talking about folks like this guy who jacked a perfectly good DIY thread on making colloidal silver:

Erm... I have spoken to some chemists not long ago just about this silver hype and they were for starters all very skeptical about this method of introducing silvet to water solution.

First of all, zero EC water means it is an insulator (no electrons pass through it, no electric circuit is made and thus no electrolysis happens. It's like leaving electrodes dangling in air and expecting something to happen.

Second thing is, when you pass current through silver electrodes, no silver ions are released. This is why silver is sometimes used as a cheaper supstitute for gold or platinum eletrodes. One of the reasons those are considered precious metals is that they do not rust. Reason they don't rust is that they do not oxidise easily (oxidation is a reaction where atom releases it's electron, and that is what would happen if it electrolyze this way). In fact, much more energy is needed in order to break away the electron from a silver atom then it is to break apart a water molecule and take away its electron. So what would happen if you placed some silver electrodes into water that does conduct and run a "normal voltage" through it (normal meaning not 100 000 volts or something) is water electrolysis, where water is broken down into an oxigen molecule and two hydrogen molecules.

I don't know why EC would rise in such a situation, but I suspect it could be either the inpurities from the equipment or the CO2 from the air geting disolved and not silver ions geting disolved.
If you really wanted silver ions in water, much easier (and in fact working) solution would be just to get some silver nitrate (thats the thing used in early photography) and dilute it. Have you tried replicating your procedure without any electricity and measuring EC then? Have you tried leting everything sit for an hour and then taking measurements?

Third thing is, I don't really see why anyone would be using silver with their plants. Silver ions do act antimicrobaly and are used on some medical bandages, even house appliances for that propperty, but its effects are not by any means selective. It just oxidises other mater it comes in contact with, like chlorine or hydrogen peroxide do. Other thing is, silver is a big metal atom, and as such will in some senses have the same biological effect as a heavy metal. It will acumulate in biological tissues where it will do damage over time and will be impossible to remove. There are people that have poisoned themselves with silver and now look like a smurf as the silver has acumulated in their skin. Just google argyria. I highly doubt anything bad like that could happen by using it on your plants, but still, I'd avoid using it.

And

Ok, I'm just saying, I spoke to more then one chemist about this and they all said that they don't see how passing electricity through silver would do anything to produce silver solution or coloid. Chemistry is in practice not as exact as they teach you in a classroom, so there might be some strange machanism that actually makes this work, but as I said, I'm very skeptical. If someone wants to really check, you can make a side by side comparison. make a sollution with this technique, make another but without electricity, and the third with pure distilled water. Put them in identical bottles and have a friend label them with numbers so that only he knows which is which. Then do a side by side comparison with several plants, write down your results and then check which solution have you actually decided worked the best.



Or the idiot who started this thread: "[h=2]***need help then post your question here!***[/h]

Hi to all newbies or stoners who are in need of some advice on growing for the first or millionth time, feel free to post any sort of marijuana/Cannabis growing/cultivation questions

- Happy growing... lets hope this thread becomes a big one :​

It was too painful to read.
I just want to shit my pants and
stand next to him asking question after
question while deals with ass-phyxiation

i agree and i came here hoping to find more coherent discussion but came quick to discover the contrary imo...folks like cheese and trout are not here to discuss imo they are here to keep things from being properly discussed...and are imo an annoyance...

agreed! can i get a redo?
i created it under duress and i've learned here (in politics) that some other source is responsible for my actions...

Hi,........

congrats, you have disproved the foundation for my disdain in that you have finally posted something true and worthy of posting
i can like you now
