When I came to this site I enjoyed updating my grow diary and finding out valuable information. Now I will not take something one person says as gospel it’s just the way I am if the decision is split I go with the facts (DON’T BE A PREACHER BE A TEACHER) but some people just want to argue. So my Question is how I end my account please as I find it no fun anymore.

After 26 days you determine that the site does not meet your needs. That's fine. Unfortunately you cannot delete your account.

My best advice is to log off permanently. Actually, that is not my best advice. The best advice is to ignore the weed barons and the net bullies. You will encounter those clowns wherever you end up. Most of those guys couldn't grow a radish.

There are plenty of teachers here at RIU, but 26 days may not be enough time here to discern the net bullies and weed barons from the people who know the craft and are willing to help.

Best of luck.

Sorry, I just can't let this slide. Your thread is 8 pages of people telling you that you are wrong. There is literally not one person who agreed with you. You did no such thing as use the facts to determine an opinion. Your own arrogance is what got you a hostile reaction.

The site just got a little less ignorant.
This is a direct quote from Ed Rosenthal whom most of you know is a marijuana growing guru:

Marijuana plants photosynthesize as long as they receive light as well as water, air, nutrients and suitable temperature. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use the energy from light (primarily in the blue and red spectrum's) to combine carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) to make sugar while releasing oxygen to the air.

Plants use sugars continuously to fuel metabolic processes (living) as well as for tissue building. The plant combines nitrogen (N) with the sugar to make amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. They are the substance of plant tissue. When the light is off, the plant's metabolic processes, respiration and growth, continue.

The plant can photosynthesize continuously so it produces the most energy and growth when the light is on, continuously. Continuous light does not stress the plant, which reacts somewhat mechanistically to it.

Plants under an 18-6 light-dark regimen are producing sugar only three quarters of the time. They are thus growing at only 75% of their potential. Leaving the light on continuously will result in bigger plants, faster, which leads to higher yields."
FACT but hey ck

There is this ongoing debate about 24/7 vs 18/6 during veg of MJ. Let's get something straight. The purpose of growing during the veg period is to produce the most foliliage in the shortest time as possible. The foliliage is a product of photosynthesis. That is how the plant GROWS in other words. It doesn't grow in the dark. In the dark, it is practically dormant. That is why if it is dark for long enough, the plant starts to flower (it thinks it is dying and wants to save its gene stuff, like all living things). It is also why a mother plant can live in a vegetative state for years. 18/6 merely wastes time. It accomplishes nothing.

The main thing to keep in mind is that the indoor experience is not a replica of outdoors. The strains that are best suited for indoor growth have been bred and grown indoors for generations. Whether you grow in soil or hydro, under fluoros or HID, the only link between the indoor grower and the outdoor grower has to do with plant mechanics. Things like uptake of water and nutes, maturing, sexing. These are basics that exist in both worlds. For that matter, the production of sugars is basically the same in both worlds as well. It's just with the indoor world, we can control many more of the factors than the outdoor farmer. We choose when to go from a vegetative timetable to a flowering one. We decide on ALL the factors of a grow. Humidity, temperature, the works. Let's see an outdoor farmer grow his plants to full maturity in just 4 months.

Having said that, the objective of growing indoors has to be kept in mind when deciding whether to go 24/7 or 18/6. If you are trying to create a little piece of the outdoors indoors, then by all means, have a nighttime. You might want to hook up a high velocity fan and blow your plants over once a season to replicate a wind storm, and if you live in the north, perhaps a blast from a CO2 fire extinguisher would seem like frost. Obviously, that is not the point. The goal is the best, biggest crop in the least amount of time. Taking 6 hours a day in the dark means your plants lose 42 hours of growth each week. Why waste all that time when your plant could be photosynthesizing it's green butt off. Plants don't need REST. That's what is so amazing about them. Give them the right ingredients, and they do the rest.

well, I have to call BS on this one. it does grow in the dark. I've seen it happen and have the pictures to prove it. but to each his own :mrgreen:



.....and outdoor growers rule!!:cool:
