The military does indeed have similar toys to what's described, though it's usually SOUND waves at various frequencies, meant for crowd control and the like.
Using them on the populace indiscriminately would have rather serious repercussions and besides what would be the point? The masses are far more easily subdued with television and Fox 'News'...

Here's a reprint of a post of mine from 2007:
Well, maybe you guys haven't heard anyone talk about using less than 12 hours of light during flowering, because it is not a good idea. It will cause your plants to produce less THC. It's another of those ideas that stoners come up with because it sounds like it would make sense. But Mother Nature isn't logical at all. Matter of fact she's kinda like a Mad Mother, but I digress.
This is from Marijuana Botany, by Dr. Robert C. Clarke:
"Research has shown (Valle et al. 1978 ) that twice as much THC is produced under a 12-hour photoperiod than under a 10-hour photoperiod."
Wow, so giving 10 hours of light results in half as much THC produced!
So for the past 10 years, I've been giving my flowering plants 13 hours of light, and 11 hours of darkness.

According to various info on different sites but THC degrades under too much light so therefore reduction of light at the end of harvest would infact increase THC and increase bud... Not just stating facts but actual proof for me personally...Here's a reprint of a post of mine from 2007:

I respect ur infinite knowledge on this but can only report what ive experienced..I have no reason to lie, im not out to impress anyone, just stating what has happened with my grow, since changing to reduced light the bud has grown significantly...Here's a reprint of a post of mine from 2007:

Your mimicking nature mate, I give 13/11 for a week before going to 12/12 And I found that it makes the plant prepared for the flowering hours and have budds by day three fully formed. That's the only way I can finish my plants according to breeder..
That's from just experience too but others beg to differ.
Do what you know and leave the book people to their books
, that's my motto

Only reduced light for the last 9 days of harvest to try to speed up the ripening, did not see much difference in the ripening but noticed the bud seemed to jumpstart back to growing again and for some reason had new leaf growth.Your mimicking nature mate, I give 13/11 for a week before going to 12/12 And I found that it makes the plant prepared for the flowering hours and have budds by day three fully formed.

I knew what you mentioned I read past page or two. Before I started perpetual grows I was going from 18 hrs on and lowerd the timer up to 13/11 for one week then slowly go to 12/12 then at week 6 take it down a 15 mins a week until I got to 10 and half hours on.Only reduced light for the last 9 days of harvest to try to speed up the ripening, did not see much difference in the ripening but noticed the bud seemed to jumpstart back to growing again and for some reason had new leaf growth.

I got good bud size and grows but I wasn't a pro and heat burnt all my thc and bugs lol.
But I adviced to take timer down to get things going faster it's how nature does it, It could affect the yields but you trics and ripen time will be done.
It's like if you put you crop out late in season you will still have ripened food but just not as much quantity as a properly matured fruits.

Might need to go higher, but I'd wait for the pros to come on.
And you have that cool tube thingy don't ya, only tine I ad that is when lights was low and the top leafs got lighter, but if it's pale and red leaf stem/ whole plant then it needs topping on N.
But wait for the pros

I just wanted it dry and atleast a week in the jar plus it's really strong now, last time let amber up the crystals but it was on the harsh side...
This time it's milky and some clear, it has nice sweet lemony on the inhale and smooth. Very narcotic and very nice clean high to it. I would recommend Dr underground Painkiller cheep, easy to grow and now I find out its a good yielder lol.
Tho my plants are small you guys could smash it
I don't drink alcohol it's hulk juice to me lmao

Can anyone recommend something to clean a bud trimmer (manual bowl version)- used it twice and need to clean it but its tarred up so just water etc wont do it. Says online to use rubbing alcohol but cant find anywhere that sells it so wondered what else i could use?
