This fallacy has been parroted forever. If they were "useless", the plant would have dropped them long before the grower. Trust me, the plant is much smarter than most here. It's a CO2 flag I won't bother to explain again. You need to read the other (useless) defoliating threads.

goes back to the video i posted, there is no form without function, very little is wasted in nature.

"Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other, thus appearing to "drift" across the ocean bed.[2]The speculation that continents might have 'drifted' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. The concept was independently and more fully developed byAlfred Wegener in 1912, but his theory was rejected by some for lack of a mechanism (though this was supplied later by Holmes) and others because of prior theoretical commitments. The idea of continental drift has been subsumed by the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how the continents move.[3]

In 1858 Antonio Snider-Pellegrini created two maps demonstrating how America and Africa continents may have once fit together, then separated"

I did :( home depot had a sale on the crappy kind and it only lasted a day or two lol. I like to use it to lst with pipe cleaners, but the crappy kind of tape never holds and I have to keep adding more. After a week or so the plant usually takes the shape I want and then I don't need the pipe cleaners to hold branches anymore, but it was a PITA having to keep taping em down. Lesson learned. I really like the gorilla tape but that stuff sometimes is a little too strong lol.

I KNEW IT!!! lol Been there.........I was standing in walmart and was like hmmmm, 3 dollars for 45 yards, or 8 dollars for 45 yards. Ya anyway, I taped a whole room of mylar up and I hadn't even finished the room yet before that shit literally started peeling back off the walls behind me. I was so f'n po'd. Never made that mistake again though -- definitely worth the extra 5 bucks. haha

Edit: Ya gorilla tape is the shit too if you're trying to restrain an elephant lol -- you can't even tear it with your hands, it definitely earned its name for sure. I prefer just the regular heavy duty duct tape........not the duck tape.......fuck the duck tape.

And here's some more science waiting to be worked out: tell me why a strain I've been growing forever up and decided to turn purple for the first time......@ 85 degrees? wtf o_O

Ok, I'll take a stab. The science behind it is actually a little easier than really pointing out the reason in your specific case. Some external influence influenced a gene to produce more, less, or different proteins. Put too simple but either a gene stopped producing something that prevented purple or a gene started producing something that results in the purple. Not necessarily the case but one could say you activated a recessive gene (which may be from the dominant side failing). Cold is a typical external influence for purple cannabis but surely there are more, probably many of which most still unknown and/or only applicable to certain strains.

Something like that... :D

Works for me. ;) ....................

Edit: That's what I'll be going around parroting from now on to sound smart so hopefully your info is sound!
