Lately, I have been cloning in Oasis cubes which I don't like because they hold too much water. Anyway, for some reason, the roots have been growing up out of the top of the cube. Does anyone have any idea what causes this?

OK, if I am understanding you correctly you perceive people much like plants in that we all have an equal desire to grow and flourish and that all of us will do so provided our basic needs are met and we all have a place in the sun. I'm telling you this is incorrect. What you need to...

WTF does this last paragraph even mean? This isn't even an intelligible point. First, people don't inherit a title - this isn't England under Henry VIII. WTF do you mean an "unequal distribution of labor"? That isn't even a real thing. It sounds like what you are saying is that if a guy...

You must have learned this in college. It is a well constructed, concise explanation of the cycle of poverty and how Capitalism stacks the deck against the poor, but it is wrong in several areas. Why don't we just fly a plane over the ghetto and drop money. I've got news for you; if you...

No, only on your wife's tits.

There are things that can degrade a strain over time - I have seen it. I do not know if it is the result of mutation, which is possible, or a matter of the plant picking up various diseases. While an experienced grower might be able to carry a strain for many generations, a single mistake like...

Different strains produce vastly different yields.

The Right sees profit motivation as the engine of our economy and the reason for our success. If we look back in time to the first societies, specialization of labor is one of the key elements of a successful people. When each person is able to keep most of what he creates and trade it for...

No, he read the phrase "false dichotomy" in one of my threads, Googled it for the meaning, and is eager to use it.

Another trifling thread about Palin. Say what you will, but she had more experience at the time of the election than Obama and she was running as VP. Obama is by light years the most inexperienced and under accomplished President ever, and only a fool believes that white person with the same...

I second that

At this point, I don't think there is anything that can be said that will not be replied to with the same old Liberal talking points stated over and over again. Funny thing - the global failure of Socialism and the global success of Capitalism is a simple matter of historical fact. That is...

I'm thinking of pruning the entire 3 shoot tops from every branch forcing all the branch nodes to form new shoots which will of course become buds. After all, we are after large numbers of hardy shoots, not long stems.

Well, it turns out I found the answer to my own question. It has nothing to do with light - it is called apical dominance and has to do with the inhibitory effect of auxin. Essentially, the auxin in the growing shoot inhibits the growth at the other nodes on the branch or meristem...

Reported for slander.

The tea partys are nothing more than a bunch of people venting. If they should become a third party, that might be something worthy of discussion, but that has yet to be seen. For the moment, there are probably about two dozen morons out of the thousands that attend these rallies carrying...

One need only take note of the dozens of threads about tea-baggers this and Palin that to see that the Left spends most of their time trifling about things of little concern to the Right or any thinking person. Most on the right understand that there are a small handful of idiots who go to the...

Vi, you make some great points. But, it isn't just about oil, though as it stands oil is in fact a great reason to go to war. The unspoken reality of the middle East is that radical Islam has become a threat to all of humanity. There are only so many options for dealing with this threat...

I thought that too. But, a recent grow in which they received plenty of light suggested otherwise. Is there anyone who knows for sure if the popcorn buds have anything to do with distance from the growing shoots?

Question for people well versed in plant biology. Until recently, I believed the popcorn bud was caused by low light levels. Now, I am begining to wonder if it isn't distance from the main growing shoot that causes sparce bud formation. As you know, topping a plant causes a hormonal...
