TMI (to much information) I think my head is about to explode....

He has done extensive and expensive amounts of research, along with having the personal notes from the father of TAG. His work regarding TAG is among the most compiled and comprehensive that I have found thus far. I will be taking reference to many of his informative posts.

You still haven't pointed to any of podracers pictures.

He is all blow and no show.

He cut's and paste stuff from other websites
and now he is an authority?

Where is this infamous podracer today?

Let's face it.
I'm jealous.
He got a movie,
and all I got was a TV show.

Wonder who will make it to DVD first?

so more hot air and baloney around growing ... just what we need. At least now we know - thanks for pointing that out, Earl. :joint:

Oh and by the way I want to admit I am a plagerist,
with great cut and paste skills also.

Pod is probably working for NASA or something. I don't know him personally and will never get to meet him so I don't care to know where he is. I know that he is a hot head and flys off the handle when people troll his threads and insult his intelligence and work, then again who wouldn't. For anyone that doesn't know the guy was banned from several sites for his seemingly inaproprate actions... not my business. I am interested in his work, and the research he has devoted his time too. This guy IMO is a dedicated researcher and therefore genuinely enjoys learning accurate information. I follow his guidelines so far and you guys see what I have done. This setup is damn near state of the art, this rig manufactured is built by Biocontrol or some Co. like that. They sell them for around 1500.00 you can all google it and let me know. This is the same form of growth NASA experiments with and choses to invest there time into... the NASA comment up top.

Take it how you want it but sincerily with all due respect don't insult his work as I feel it to be accurate and chose to follow. With this in mind you are almost insulting me, as to call me a fool for following. Now I am sure that it's not what you meant by any means so I am not the type to read into it and get defensive. But I think he has devoted very valuable amounts of time to this subject and therefore deserves a certain amount of respect. Whether people like him or his work it was all done for the benefit of all the grower everywhere. I deem his work valuable and chose to give him great credit for his contribution to this technique. That is what it is and that is that, take it how you want it fellas peace and have I godd night time to go to work.:mrgreen::joint:

I`m working my way thru your thread. U mentioned Al foil. Mylar is good stuff. Good wallpaper and reflector covering. Foam board and tape makes good cheap reflectors. Lotsa ideas here.

I am unable to find any remaining pics from Pod. It appears that when he was banned they removed all his pictures as well. I remember very clearly looking at MANY picture posted by POD. As far as him copy and pasting them, well that is just what one man said about another, and no way to prove it either way.

mdgcmd, I hope you don't get your feelings hurt,
but where are your pix.

Come here mdgcmd, and give me hug.:hug:

I am always glad to meet a fellow "test pilot"

I am just trying to save you from spending cash like I did.:wall:

But if you have the budget for experimentation,
then I say, "Show your Grow"

We are all waiting for you.

So,... teach us the latest and greatest methodology.

Lead the way into that unknown frontier, fellow test pilot.

Open your wallet,
and then light that candle!

I hope you have "Sky High" results.

I'm learning that learning to grow costs big money! On a $75 30min aero tub I have about a weeks worth of work into it and $500+dollars. Those constant trips to Home Depot kill me on gas!

It helps to start out with a really good and sound plan and price things out online. Another thing to watch out for is over buying things like lights and nutrients.

But yes, it can get pricey fast.

Earl it sounds like you are the one that need a hug. This is actually my second post, I stopped typing the first one as I started to fall into your trap. I luckily bounce back from my anger and became humble once again.

The pictures were removed as I sound before, and all his OG pictures, well sadly we all know what happened to OG. If can find one 56 page grow diary that has 0 yes 0 picture in it,, I mean not one single marijuana picture in 50+ pages of a thread on a marijuana growing web site is that a coincident? Well it doesn't really matter to me either way, I HAVE seen the pictures, I have read over 75 pages with 30 posts a page, I have been doing research. I have not grown this way before but I mean no body is because they are growing experts, and for one to call themselves experts they had better have A LOT of credentials to show for. By no means am I testing out anything, nor is this information NEW. NASA has been growing aeroponics for 10+ years, I would say that with there budget I'm sure they have discovered a large amount of what there is to learn. Am I making any sense guys? I just woke up and still haven't smoked yet so I am still a bit groggy. I do know either way that this is far from the "...the latest and greatest methodology.", and "unknown frontier". I am not pioneering anything new here ad I am also encouraging people to do there own research as I have been doing. They do not need to follow me, it is their choice and I can only help to encourage it. I give you my sincere and humble apologize IF I upset you in some way, I get the impression that you two have met in some form or another. I am sorry if you guys have bad vibes but PLEASE do not bring it here on my thread. I do not wish to have it cluttered with non-sense. I want it to have ON-TOPIC post as to help me stay on course with my reference work.

Once again sorry to everyone here, for going off topic, for stepping out of line, and for feeling so strongly about my work. POD has his trollers and he fell into the anger pit and said stuff he should not have said. I will not fall victim to his demise, me are all flawed as humans, but his mind is very bright and IF you read these links you will see that. This stuff goes back way before the OG days fellas so don't think I, or we, or he invented anything. Hes just focuses his reseach on marijuana.


JUST AN UPDATE:
I took a few days off including tomorrow, my job is demanding so I am tired often. I have the weekend off so I will continue progress then. I still have time so no big deal, I still need a few things not to mention seeds. Speaking of seeds I dp have two good bag seeds that I will use. That being said I guess I can actually start growing here in a couple weeks SWEET!!

I FOUND POD PICTURES.

It appears that IC Mag did not remove the picture. there was a problem with their servers or something I am not sure. Last night they were not there today they are lol.

So what is the difference between this:

Podracers roots

and this:

Earl's roots.

I don't see the advantage or difference,
except that you need to spend a lot more money.

Go for it.

Spend the bucks Buck Rogers.

You can`t compare these pics- its just a guess if one is better or worse than the other. And all the other variables-totally unknown. What is apparent is that letting the roots hang freely in a saturated enviroment of micron sized particles exposes the maximum root surface area to the nutes and to oxygen.The oxygen is important. If the roots are in water the O2 cant be adsorbed as fast. So true aero is theoretically better. Whether or not it makes much practical difference is open to debate- thats why we are doing this. A thinking person approaches the situation with an open mind and leaves his preconceived notions at the door and observes where the experiment goes. So lets just watch and see.
It would be nice to run a controlled study of various methods but that aint gonna happen.
