Like I said pics or it didn't happen, I see maybe 3/4 oz colas and at best a dozen of them and some smaller ones. Your claim was (32) 30 -60 gram buds. Stop promoting this defoliation nonsense with made up numbers and bullshit science, especially to noobs who love to play with their plants which is all this really is, not botany. And yes like many here on this forum I do have degrees in biology and chemistry and worked for a fully paneled USDA research scientist for 7 years. Uncle Ben is spot on when he points out that actual scientists replicate their experiments under strict protocols regarding the technique, and observation that always involve triple redundancy and multiple trials. They are also subject to external monitoring and peer review by accomplished members of their respective fields (which you are getting right now from UB, Chuck and myself).

Interesting! Are you familiar with the Keyplex 350 DP product that came out of a big research SAR program commissioned with the USDA? I was recently gifted with 5 gals. of the stuff and am experimenting with it and sharing it with commercial nut/fruit producers and recently sent a sample to a fine greenhouse grower to play with. http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/AR/archive/may98/prot0598.htm

I actually worked for an entomologist doing pheromone testing in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, did some toad work for another researcher as well. It was one of those jobs where when people saw you catching and PIT tagging toads or setting up 3000M trap arrays in dense forest, they wanted to be you. I also spent a lot of time in very remote locations by myself which was not a bad thing. :p

Yeah yeah we know. I work in labs too. This is my first trial and i will be replicating it and obviously its getting peer reviewed by a bunch of uninvited blowhards.
Let me know when there is a Journal of Medicinal Cannabis and i will submit some papers. You can light the reprints on fire if ya want.

Your wet blanket is over there. WAY over there someplace far away. Go lay on it.

Biology and chemistry is not botany. I have studied all three.

THC and everyone who liked the OP:
we can all "ignore list" whomever we like and they can't even be quoted into the thread. lets shut out the chatter from the morons that call us noobs. pretty sure they didn't crank out 5g nugs on the reg as newbies.

I hate fuckin chichuahuas. yap and crap.
this is MY DOG:

you are worse than anyone here, if you simply ignored anything you choose to not like, it would die right there, but you like the drama and actually create it more for yourself. Did you question everything your professor taught you? Did you tell him, I know you have been teaching this for years and have studied all the scientific data, But I am going to go do it for myself? I am betting you didn't even pull a c+ average.

I had a B average which is pretty good considering the school and the fact that all my study partners are medical doctors and research scientists now.

nutsuckers LOL

cleaned the thread right on up. nice. I like the new RIU. used to be you block someone then someone would quote them into the thread and ruin it.

I would like to thank killemsoftly, izoc666, waterdawg, growan, miccyj, dannyboy, a senile fungus, homebrewer, cat of curiosity, natro.hydro, bu$hleaguer and others for participating in the thread and pointing up information without being dismissive pricks. I said in the thread
I always want to learn more
but if you're hostile and demeaning, I don't wanna hear you at all.

buh bye

speaking of noobs and defoliation
there was a thread someplace where a true noob had a teenager plant and he heard defol was great. decided to pull all but maybe 3 leaves off his plant.
then he was like
why does it look so bad.
then, still in veg, he thought he had white hairs and was all pumped.
somebody said pretty sure those are new leaves. hurry, pull them off!
high fives ensued
