Shangri-la indeed! Looking fantastic!

@ACitizenofColorado - I am the same way. My next big project will be setting up a cleanroom with a stainless steel and copper grow system.
Thanks Mo. I'm very happy with this cultivar :)

do tell about this "cleanroom" and "SS and copper grow system"... bongsmilie

also, any thoughts about grounding? It's a topic I delved into a little a year ago on my own, but kinda put on the backburner. I think this is something indoor growers neglect to consider when we isolate plants into a simulated environment. I'm thinking about designing an experiment in the latter half of the year when I have more time.

Do you mean bonded? The containers could be considered individual grounds.

I just read an article recently that talked about grounding your indoor containers and how it supposedly increases yields. There is a university study on it as well (dont remember who did it) that showed those results. I dont know how effective it is but am curious. If you do a side by side on it, I'm really interested in seeing how it works out for you.

no i mean grounded. If you havent, look into it; it's a fascinating topic. some researchers are speculating that humans being insulated from the ground (wearing rubber shoes all the time), is part of our problem for having so much inflammation in joints. I haven't looked at any primary research yet (if it exists), but I will be in the near future.

the containers are negligible sources though when compared to the earth. the earth is one giant reservoir. we've been talking about it in my physics class which is what got me thinking about this topic again.

awesome man. yeah there has to be some primary research out there then. I've seen novel little experiments on youtube, but nothing conducted (no pun intended) in a controlled environment.

Brown university

I dont know how reliable it is though.

It was the greater part of 15 years ago the last time I thought about it and at least 5 years since my mind was nimble enough to fully execute a rational reasoning on the topic. If you are talking a shared ground then that is bonded I thing we are the same wavelength, language is causing a barier.

I recall millivolt current application as an attempt to stimulate the photosynthetic process.

I think the connection is beyond electrical though, I think the positive effects are more proximity related, i.e. direct root contact as in cover crop use.

@ShLUbY while talking physics, dont forget about gravity. What is the "particle" what exactly is its influence? Look at the equation for gravitational forces, its force is calculated via mass and distance. Without mass and space time does not exist, kinda rambling now, see, mind not tuned for this.

The weak and strong forces are also distant dependant, are you picking up on my common theme here yet? Trying to say this without writing a wall of text so I will leave it at this I chose physics as my undergraduate degree because it answered the questions of why, switched from chemistry (basically have a minor in it) the science of what. Ask the question why, not necessarily what, it's included in why.

Carry on
:peace:

the stuff i get is ultra processed. pre chopped and de dusted. really easy to work with :) I've never had an issue from it in the past. mites will find their way inside during the colder months... could be where they came from. I'm using straw and not hay... not sure if you're using hay or straw. hay, i would not be surprised if you got mites from as they seem to love clover!
I just go to a feed store that is local and I get straw(probably wheat) and alfalfa hay. This last time, my wife bought some prairie grass.

I was reading an article about plant grafting. Has anyone here done such a thing and is it possible to graft a mmj cut to another type of plant in the same genus? Like how they've made grapples from a grape plant and apples? If I had more room and time it'd be an interesting experiment to try and graft a couple strains to one mother plant. My dream. Lol. 1 Momma plant that can make all my favorites on diff branches lol. But for real has someone attempted or done this? @schluby in your schooling have you heard of this?

We never did it in school but I’ve thought about it before. Not sure if it works on herbaceous plants or not. May only work with more woody tissues.

Cool thoughts guys. I don't see that they did a control with no plants in some pots, then test the soil before and after to see if the basic soil chemistry changed over that time. I thought lightning strikes create N in the soil, so that's why I'm asking cuz more N could be the reason for more growth. I think you could ground and put an ionizer in the room too and I think most ionizers are a/c but a d/c one might be better for this but that's just a guess.

It's possible, but impractical IMHO, which might be why you don't see people doing it. Might be a good strategy for keeping various personal cuts alive on a single mother plant with restricted plant counts???

I suppose what I'm trying to get at is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the life span of most cannabis plants is so short that any usual benefits of grafting would be totally outweighed by the stress(and recovery) of the actual process.

Edit........wanted to add.........not sure if it's possible with other genera, such as hops

Got me really intrigued there too, wtf' going on with that set up, sound's industrial LOL

@DonBrennon - I have read articles for over 30 years regarding the various sciences and I would love to have a lab where I could experiment with the different methods to determine the best outcomes.

It would need to be a cleanroom with pharmaceutical grade materials. This is where I was planning to build it:



Of course this is the dream:



Cheers,
Mo
