    Cloning weak stems = weak plants

    I'm not sure you guys are understanding what I am talking about when I refer to these shoots. I am not talking about the smaller stems toward the bottom of the plant. I am talking about the minute little shoots that are so small they almost look like some sort of abnormal growth. They only...

    Cloning weak stems = weak plants

    It may be the case that these dwarf stems might eventually grow into full plants if grown long enough. But when grown side by side with other plants they produce runts. Vegging these three times as long is no use to me. I'd be interested to see links showing plants cloned from a root or leaf...

    Would You Be An Insurgent?

    Well done. I guess the silence we hear is the wanna be know it all off licking his wounds. That's what he gets for talking out of his ass. This world would be so much better if people like padawa would actually try to learn from those of us with real knowledge instead of belligerently and...

    security

    Isn't it great that we have guys like Med-o-man pissing and moaning about how hard he has to work for his money, how unfair it is and how Capitalism sucks. And at the same time he goes out and spends all kinds of money on guns he can't afford. And the very same idiot is on the internet...

    Copenhagen Erupts Into Applause For Hugo Chavez

    If Obama had a fucking sack he would have torn that shit up and walked out. Why don't we cut all foreign aid and see how much applause that gets. We are talking about giving 100 billion dollars to little shit hole countries and they put us down. We ought to fly over Venezuela and drop a...

    where do you growers here stand politically? conservative or a liberals?

    Well, I could never be a Democrat because I like to spend the money that I have earned. Nor can I be a Republican because I like to spend it on Drugs and Whores. Seriously though, I hold firmly to the notion that a wise man is one who is aware of how little he knows. If you live by this...

    The Best N-P-K

    Light is not the issue. It could be that my Ionic solution is bad because I did notice some chunks have precipitated. I was leery of this but used it anyway - just shook the hell out of it. It could also be my DWC needs changing. That is the problem with DWC - big setups require way too much...

    The Best N-P-K

    I just ordered Dyna Grow foliage and bloom. Foliage is 9-3-6 and bloom is 3-12-6. Seems like a well balanced high quality mix. Hummert.com was $39 per gallon. I have been using Ionic which people said was great, but I'v noticed weak stems which is a K deficiency and they don't advertise...

    Cloning weak stems = weak plants

    I guess with my degree in molecular biology I'm just the ignoramus of the group. I am not talking about small branches. I am talking about those teeny tiny dwarf branches that only get a few inches long. The reason behind this probably has to do with cell differentiation. Cells in...

    Would You Be An Insurgent?

    You know absolutely nothing about this subject. War brought Democracy to both Germany and Japan did it not? And how much better off are they now? You don't know about the weapons and fighters flooding into Iraq from Iran. If you don't know the facts, why are you discussing this? Your...

    Fairness in home ownership

    The CRA requirements forced banks to write the sub-prime loans. The banks didn't want to get caught holding them so they bundled them and sold them. I agree they should be held accountable for doing that. As for regulation, there should have been more of an effort but who wants to be the guy...

    The Best N-P-K

    Dyna Grow makes a high N solution I'm looking at for veg. All the hydro stores sell is the general purpose but I can buy it on line I'm sure. I'm pretty sure Cannabis consumes copious N.

    Cloning weak stems = weak plants

    That's what I thought when I did it. Notice those little dwarf shoots never grow like the others. Different parts of an organism are made up of different cell types and they don't all necessarily take on new rolls when cloned. For instance, would a cloned root stop being a root and grow to be...

    Sunpulse Bulbs - Anyone with Experience or Knowledge?

    I'm not sure what you are saying. Your math is correct but 9000 per sq foot is too much. For a 4X8 you would use two 400W bulbs. A 1000W bulb is good for something like 7X7. Anyway, the point is if you have the space and you need to limit your power consumption you are going to do better on...

    Cloning weak stems = weak plants

    Anyone ever try cloning those scrubby little shoots from the bottom of the plant thinking they would regenerate and become normal sized plants? Well, I tried it and they grew some of the scrawniest plants I have seen. I'm 99% sure this is the cause because they are in a DWC with other clones...

    Fairness in home ownership

    Paul Krugman is a far Left professor trying to use politics make a name for himself and he is full of shit. Nowhere in his article does he say what deregulation took place - just that "deregulation" of the banking industry caused the loan crisis. This wouldn't be acceptable work from a...

    Would You Be An Insurgent?

    Afghanistan is NOT an Arab Country. The Taliban do NOT represent the Afghan people. The Taliban are an occupying force in Afghanistan and they have never been welcome there. The radicals in Iraq are not "insurgents." Insurgents are citizens fighting an occupying force. Most of the attacks in...

    Sun Spinner with Sunpulse Bulbs. Yields?!?!

    I love light movers. There is simply no other way to cover as much area with limited power consumption. Sure, maybe two or three times as many lights would be better, but I think running over 60KWH per day is going to draw attention. But, the thing I like most is that the light hits the...

    Standing your ground in court

    I'm sure what ever it is you are quoting is taken completely out of context and something you don't understand. Legal proceedings can take place in the name of an alias such as John Doe. You have heard of Row Vs Wade haven't you? You know Jane Row really isn't her name don't you? Here is...

    Would You Be An Insurgent?

    Here is a little current events update for you. Our soldiers are in Afghanistan helping the Afghans get rid of the Taliban which is an occupying force that has been oppressing the Afghans for years. The Afghans are on our side. And although the Iraqis are surely weary of living in a war...
