Okay I'll drop the act for just a moment cause guaranteed one of you will set me off.
For every grower here, I believe we do this because we love it. Everyone has there own interpretations of what growing means to them. For me, it means getting the most out of what nature gives you. We're so lucky that there is bro science, because without it...we wouldn't have the strains that we have today. It is those phenos within those strains that ultimately determine whether your bud is actually good or not. The bros gave us the seeds but it is the scientists that unlock that genetic potential. There is a lot more to growing than what you see on the surface. Thousands upon thousands of chemical reactions happening in the blink of an eye.
I don't profess to understand ALL the science behind it but I do trust the people that actually spent the time researching it in the first place. There is a lot of work involved to get a degree. A lot of hours studying, a lot of hours reading. That's fucking hard work, especially anything in the field of STEM. Which I felt inadequate for at the time so I studied education as a way to prepare myself for what the pioneers of the field are doing today. I also just loved learning. That's why I've been having a blast doing this. To see theory put into practice and seeing the results first hand. Both figuratively and literally.
Researching what the researchers are doing and replicating it. Usually it will only be a matter of time before some shit of a company buys the patent for it and makes people pay. And everyone wants to make you pay, except for nature. We should all be striving to get the most of out of our plants. We should be growing the biggest, healthiest plants we can grow. I helped someone out who was relying on one plant as their only medicine. It should never had gotten to this for this poor grower
yesterday I done some lst to her and didnt notice that main steem snap in half...so today I open my tent and almost cry when I saw what happen... So today that split was a little dry on both side and I done this to fix it...really struggling to get to that spot so I didnt have space to first...

I don't believe it's a stretch to say that it can be taken too far...the whole defol thing. But regardless of that I believe in what I'm doing, I believe in my knowledge and I believe in my ability to apply that knowledge.
