It's a good idea but there will be arguments. I already disagree with a few things said but I am keeping myself for a bit.

Myth: no one has ever died from smoking marijuana
Fact: Researchers in Boston have found that the risk of a heart attack goes up nearly five times in the first hour after smoking a joint.
For someone in their 20s, the risk is so low to begin with that it remains insignificant. But for older people, a factor of five could mean trouble.
"People's risk for coronary artery disease increases as they enter their 40s and 50s, so the risks associated with smoking marijuana, which might have been a trivial issue when people were younger, may now pose a significant health concern," said the lead researcher Murray Mittleman, director of cardiovascular epidemiology at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess medical centre.
In the US, there is evidence that cannabis consumption is on the rise among people in the 30 to 50 age group. But the study is not as bleak as it sounds for middle aged pot users. To put it in proportion, the researchers admit that smoking a joint puts no more extra strain on the heart than strenuous physical exercise - which is recommended as a general tonic.
Another catch in the research is that it is based on interviews with people who have just survived heart attacks, and does not look at the relative cardiac health of cannabis smokers versus non-users in the population as a whole.
Of the 3,882 interviewees, only 3% admitted to having used cannabis in the year before their heart attack, and only 0.2% - nine people - smoked it in the hour before.
On the basis of this small sample, the Boston scientists concluded that in the hour after smoking a joint the relative risk of a heart attack increased by 4.8 times.
Studies have shown that cannabis use increases heart rate, but it is not clear how it may trigger a heart attack. To muddy the picture still further, cannabis smokers were found to be more likely than non-users to be overweight and to smoke tobacco, additional risk factors for heart disease

Myth: Weed is a weed
I am inclined to believe its not as this is the definition of a weed:
1.a valueless plant growing wild, esp. one that grows on cultivated ground to the exclusion or injury of the desired crop.2.any undesirable or troublesome plant, esp. one that grows profusely where it is not wanted: The vacant lot was covered with weeds.
The other definiton is marijauna but thats under slang.
To be honest i dont think my weed is undervalueless and unfourtantely does not grow prefuselybut yeh its deffo not a weed. Its THE WEED. But not a weed.
in the U.S. marijuana isnt considered a weed bc its not freely growing wild. that would change the governments view on it for sure if it was. if you go to countries in the middle east it does grow like that on ppls farms. if they dont smoke it or use the hemp they generally dont like it bc its one of the few weeds that goats wont eat. so the farmers have to pull them out themselves. goats are the poor mans lawnmower
I would like to know why people say it's best to have high P during flower when high K is recommended for almost all other flowering plants.
If you are growing seeds I can see a need for more P but flowers need more K don't they?
Anyway, mine like an equal amount of P and K.

I tend to agree with the pollenated plants still producing just as much TCH as sensi, there is just less because there's less bud produced but yea they said it wrong in the beginning and now that's stuck in everyones mind.

Alright Ill chime up about two things.
#1 aluminum foil is one of the worst reflective surfaces for spectrum ever. First, have you ever seen a perfectly flat piece of foil? It is nearly impossible to line anything and keep it flat. So less light is reflected in the wrong direction. 10 sqft of Black and white poly is $1 or a whole roll that will cover 10 grow rooms is $89.
#2 If you are happy with the results of miracle grow then you just have low expectations or you dont realize the full potential of your plant. One size fits all fits nothing just right. My circle of real life friends includes presidents of 2 MAJOR nute companies. They actually test their products in other countries on very specific crops that match what the majority of the people buying their products use them for. miracle grow is for yards. Ask yourself this, Have you ever seen a farmer use miracle grow?

great idea for a thread - i got one...
myth: the ideal grow room lighting is 20-50watts of HID light per sq. ft...
fact: trichomes are natures hack, to deal with excessive amounts of light... i am using 114watts/sq ft over my 17.5 sq ft screen and they love it... doing the lumen math, it is 60% brighter than high noon anywhere on earth. I'm not saying thats the most efficient way of doing it, sizing your lights @ 50w/sq ft may not be "ideal" if you can deal with the heat.

Soil. you can buy really shitty soil @homedpot et. al. that have almost no pore space. you can make it usable with amendments but not as good as just the amendment themselves(soil less mixes). I've also bought soil that was so hot with N It would have killed the plants if I didn't do a massive flush. Granted if I would have used more amendments it would probably have reduced or eliminated this problem, but the soil seemed fine texturally, so i didn't bother. I don't remember which brand. Where I buy soil FF costs about 3 times as much as mid grade soil. these days I am going about 2/3 soil less, i/3 FF. I grudgingly switched to FF after trying to go cheap w/soil for a long time. It is one of the few "brand" products I use, cuz it's easier than worrying and fixing.

I'd disagree with a few of the above theories purported to be facts, but I'm not a debater or one that argues.
And I'll toss out one that will catch a lot of crap, but I 'll still stand by it til my death.
MYTH: You can not grow big coke can sized colas with CFLS.
You might not can with one 42 watt bulb or a couple of 23 watts, but with a few 85s, or especially witht he new 105s, you can, and I do.
And as long as I am sticking my neck out,
MYTH: Mirrors make bad refectors.
Why do they use them on car headlights and on flashlights?

But those aren't glass mirrors which are really different technology from the polished metal reflectors you find in headlights and flashlights. The crucial difference is the glass itself, which in a consumer-grade mirror is not going to be high optical quality. As the light passes through the plane of the glass, some wavelengths are reflected back, scattered and reduced in luminosity. The remaining light then strikes the reflective surface, usually silver or aluminum and most of that is reflected back through the glass, experiencing more scattering as it goes. Some astronomical telescopes have the reflective surface deposited on the FRONT of the glass, rather than the back, so the light doesn't have to travel through the glass. THOSE mirrors reflect 90-95% of incident light (thank you, wikipedia). We aren't talking about those kinds of mirrors.
I think household mirrors only reflect 60=70% of incident light, although that's just a guess.I remember reading your old thread where you said your wife had bought you the mirrors and you were using them so as not to hurt her feelings. Do I remember right?

DANG, SHNKRMN, are you a pothead? You are absolutely right, I jsut don't know how you could remember something from two years ago, so trivial.??You're awesome!
and I really did no research on the mirrors, and to keep from hurting my wife's feelings, i still have those 4 long mirrors on the wall.
I tried to give ya some REP+ but id went away BEFORE I could click it, and then it siad I did give it to you, I hope you got it!!
Was your name " shnkrmn " back then?
I have to look at my busiensscard sometimes, just to remember my full name!
