Hydroponics Evil?

[karri0n]

So wouldn't the question be, is slave labor any less evil if the slaves grow naturally in dirt as opposed to hydroponically?

I had formed that exact question in my head as a response before I got to the end of your post and saw it sitting there taunting me....

i was thinking not about hydroponics, but about artificial lighting
it causes a yin yang problem, when lights are on and plants are growing at night, that's was i was thinking

if anyone knows about this stuff i'd love to hear an opinion

also, killing males and hermies... that's a real karma problem right there isn't it?

The Babylon which is written about in the New Testament is not the same Babylon that had hanging gardens. That Babylon was already in ruins by the time the New Testament was written.

As far as Hydroponics being evil, I'd have to agree with Carne Seca here. There is no such thing as "good" and "evil".

Hydroponics is not natural, but neither is using mulch, watering any time other than rain, growing in a greenhouse, or feeding nutrients to a plant.

Dude. Mulch happens naturally all the time. Ever heard of dead leaves or pine needles? Or a plant being located near a water source (do plants in lakes/swamps/rivers only get watered when it rains)? Or plants living in tropical and subtropical climates (with climates that a greenhouses are designed to emulate)? Or something organic breaking down and enriching the soil?

Every single thing you claim is not natural is totally natural.

Cannabis grows in full sun naturally, not a shaded forest where the soil will be mulched. It does not grow in swamps either. Without human intervention, the soil doesn't have anywhere close to as high a nutrient concentration than if chemical nutrients are fed to a plant. Tropical and subtropical climates don't exist naturally outside of subtropical and tropical regions, barring places that are given warm air from ocean currents.

Since you bring up swamps/lakes/rivers, that would mean hydroponics happens naturally too. In other words, this is a completely moot point.


So, I guess you're right. In nature, plants grow in plastic buckets with an electrically powered airstone, while swimming in a chemical slurry of nutrients and hydrogen peroxide. This happens All the time. My mistake. I need to research more.

Cannabis will grow where the seed is planted. You just associate full sun with optimal growing conditions. I assure that if you plant a cannabis seed in a shady location it will still grow.

Everything you mentioned is humans attempting to replicate nature and maximize growth suited to what we want.
