The lightning makes nitrogen that's in the atmosphere available for the plantsOk who knows anything about this one?:
"The rain derived from a lightning storm makes plants grow better".

So if the lake I live on is hit by lightning (which it is often), does that mean I can stop with my Calcium Nitrate and other Nitrogen derived products?It makes nitrogen that's in the atmosphere available for the plants
It’s the same with beer and wine... ppl not only buy but pay more for cool art on their productsCartoon nute bottles
did this my first run diluted it actually, they looked nitrogen hungry.So peeing on plants isn't boosting my yield?
It's meant to direct attention.........."hey that looks good"It’s the same with beer and wine... ppl not only buy but pay more for cool art on their products
Ive heard Nspecta from CSI humboldt address this, and In the beginning it was sort of true due to the manner the fems were created back in the day, its one of those stigmas that never really went away, even though fems are pretty stable by now.Don't know if this one's been mentioned yet:
"Feminized seeds are prone to hermie".
(I've been making and growing fem seeds for years, a couple dozen strains at least, and not once have I had one hermie).
But they are much more likely to throw male parts in my experience. I would say this is not bro-science, its genetics."Feminized seeds are prone to hermie".
i think the genetics of the strain in question is also a big factor. Some just dont tolerate much stress before throwing nannersBut they are much more likely to throw male parts in my experience. I would say this is not bro-science, its genetics.
Genetics can make plants prone to turn hermaphrodite but feminising seeds using colloidal silver or similar methods can not. If you are going to make that claim, lets see it backed up with more than anecdotes.But they are much more likely to throw male parts . I would say this is not bro-science, its genetics.
A fine disagreement, based on experienced grower comparison. All my years of fem, and not one hermie. Your years of experience with the opposite, and that's a contradiction.But they are much more likely to throw male parts in my experience. I would say this is not bro-science, its genetics.
As I have stated... eight years of both making and growing out at least two dozen strains that were feminized, and not one hermie. I'll back off on the 'broscience' on this one, only because we are literally turning a female plant 'male' for the process.Ive heard Nspecta from CSI humboldt address this, and In the beginning it was sort of true due to the manner the fems were created back in the day, its one of those stigmas that never really went away, even though fems are pretty stable by now.
Funny you say that, there is a member on here who wants to introduce electricity to plants via electrodes and zap the roots/plant or something', to stimulate them into growing?If someone thinks some electricity is going to magically make the water cause the plants to grow better, they ought to lay in a full bathtub with their plants, and drop a hot 240V, 50A appliance into the water and witness first hand how awesome that works.
nah just use 400v youll be fineThat's an LOL from me. Lightning makes for great nighttime light shows, and its fantastic at starting fires, but that's all.

Well, I didn't consider a low-voltage and low-amperage stimulation for this comparison. I was speaking directly to the lightning thing.Funny you say that, there is a member on here who wants to introduce electricity to plants via electrodes and zap the roots or something' to stimulate them into growing?
so your saying 480V 30A wouldn't do the job? maybe the jalapenos will like it.make em more spicyWell, I didn't consider a low-voltage and low-amperage stimulation for this comparison. I was speaking directly to the lightning thing.
I don't know and can't speak whether a low-wattage constant zap helps plants. That's another thing that doesn't happen in nature and which I wouldn't test myself.
If someone wants to put electricity to their plants, let them post clear and concise records of every detail of the experiment publicly, then I might weigh in. Until then, bathtub with 250V 50A.
Read the first couple of posts there. Please do update me with the end results.
This is true, lightning is a natural nitrogen fixer, but the vast majority of nitrogen fixing is done by bacteria in the soil which turn atmospheric N into ammonia, which is then processed by other bacteria into nitrites that can be used by plants. Legumes and decomposers (like aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and fungi) also act as nitrogen fixers. Lightning's effect is negligible in the grand scheme of things.The lightning makes nitrogen that's in the atmosphere available for the plants
Who would have ever thought that what started as a thread designed for mockery would turn into decent information that can be researched.This is true, lightning is a natural nitrogen fixer, but the vast majority of nitrogen fixing is done by bacteria in the soil which turn atmospheric N into ammonia, which is then processed by other bacteria into nitrites that can be used by plants.
