Light ???

[MichiganMedGrower]

since i don't have a copy, does he say that enviro causes male or female. or is the seed male or female to begin with? and enviro "can" change that after the fact?

Here is all of the popular Grow books.

Thanks to @chemphlegm

All the old ones say the environment had an impact. Hot and humid. Males basically. There is more tips.

But from any research I do. The sex is pre determined by the chromosomes already present.

As the plant matures hormones are released that grow the sex parts. Not determine them.

Humans work this way too.

Well, all said and done this is a thread about light that I started to share some of my findings over the years. There are obviously folks that disagree and there are trolls that inject nonsense to disrupt, (much like our current prez) But for new growers reading this, and I do hope that you read the whole thread as there are some good discussion points, the one thing I have never done is to tell folks to switch to T5's. I chose them so I could experiment with different spectrums and I have shared things I learned as a result. This is an ongoing experiment that I have been doing longer than MMG has been growing. He only trolls my threads because he dislikes me and that is his right, but you as new growers should take his post with a grain of salt as I have also been doing my experiments with sulfates longer than he has been growing and if you take the time to look on this very forum you can actually see trends that occur after I have shared results from experiments. Ok, there will be trolls that jump on that and ask me to show where, I'm not gonna give it to em, I hate feedin trolls LOL but if you look you'll see I'm sharing a truth

Also, if you look, you'll see I have never slammed HPS and have even recommended them to some growers. Also true is I have said that I myself would never use em but I have advised others should. In fact there is a commercial grow in Oregon that has their light system designed by me that is an HID set up with added T5's usin both HPS & MH HID lights that is totally kickin ass. They had a guy come in with a nice light meter that said it was the best indoor light spectrum he had ever tested at a commercial grow. The trolls will yell foul but I can have the owner come post to verify if needed

And they like to yell that I advise too much blue yet my results have been duplicated and quantified. There is a grower that totally duplicated my tanning booth setup and bought the bulbs I feel are the best, he was using HPS prior and he is a grower that ONLY harvest live resin, he does not save flowers nor does he smoke em. He does the squishy squish with a 20 ton press and has proclaimed a 20 to 30 percent increase in yield since changing to T5's NOTE: this is an increase in trics and resin, not bud, which if you follow and read my post is what I have said all along, I grow trics, not buds !!! It is after all the trics that hold the magic we all seek

Now that said, I'm still not tellin you new growers to go out and switch to T5's but admit there are a lot of growers that follow me that have. Some go all T5 as I have and some simply add them to other lights they already have. ALL of them have stated that their herb got better as a result. I've been posting here since 09 (several accounts as I've been banned a few times) and I know Rollie, in fact I have pm's from him where he responds with laughter at some of the debates that happen.

So my point over all to you new growers reading this is that I have been posting here longer than MMG has been growing and my post include pics, and actually pretty good pics that pretty much back up things I share. On the other hand Church is just a pissy old dude set in his ways that loves his cheap ass HPS lights and is satisfied with his herb.

Growing this plant is a lot like religion and politics, there are a lot of opinions and disagreements everywhere. About lights, about defoliation, about flushing, about nutes, etc etc etc and there always will be and as a new growers it is up to you to decide the path to follow for your own needs, in the end it is all that matters. Know that all the constant debates that occur are simply good for website traffic and don't belong in our gardens

Another very important thing to always keep in mind is that different people have different reactions to various strains, it can be affected by several things and we don't all like the same things, be a sad world if we all drove only red cars LOL Some prefer a good stoned Indica couchlock, Some, like myself, prefer a good Sativa head high, some do both and call it day and night smoke. Some prefer lemon, some prefer pine, the list are practically endless. It is up to each of us as growers both old and new to find that strain that is the one, much like finding a mate. In my case I decided to find it by breeding it myself and I have done that, it took 9 years but I found it and you can too

No I have been correcting your silly mis-information and myth since I joined here last year and with real science that I studied to completion. Not cherry picking articles that actually prove you are wrong if you actually read the whole thing. And I mean even your own links like recently in this thread about chromosomes.

You are the idiot that invited me in. Liked the site fine until you started asking us for donations for your shitty Chinese lamp.

You won't admit you are wrong no matter what. And you have an agenda to sell seeds and lights and fill your own community with noobs that believe and support your "mission".

No successful grower would listen to any of the crap you make up.

I am still pretty new at this. I wanted to see if you had something to offer. But it was all bullshit. And your photos of your own Grows proving your theories are full of burned and deficient plants.

That is why you post so few pics here.

And the best plants on your site are not grown at all the way you say. And the growers don't agree with you. They just have friends there and don't want to upset you.


I only share my own observations and info I have read from much smarter (and published) scientists and growers than you.

But it is nice to know you are always thinking about me.

What I do to you because you are a rat that publically altered and shared my private messages to you to try to regain your own bruised ego has already happened.

Your false credibility with the noobs is in question now.

You will slowly fade away.

And every day while I was on your site you and your supporters put RIU down. Insulted it harshly. And make threads there to talk about us.

Why are you even here if you hate us so much?

Hippocrite

and you wrote in my Grow journal on your site that I could not grow good weed with hps or ocean forest.

You just said you do not say that. But you always say it. Until your agenda makes you say different.

And sulfer has nothing to do with trichome growth. It may help with terpenes but they have not determined for sure yet.



Make some more shit up for us. I do find it entertaining.

Preach, brother Riddle!

I've been there and seen his grow. It works, imagine that! Is it the biggest? No. The most efficient? No. Yield the most per square foot, per watt, per gram of nutes? No.

But even when I had a tolerance most people only dream of (or have nightmares about lol), his was the only weed that could knock me out stone cold on his couch!

You know you're doing something new when you attract a bunch of haters. They fear the challenge to their preconceptions because they don't want to question anything in their little world. But without us, progress wouldn't happen.

Rm3 insists his weed would never lock you to the couch.

It barely gave my heavy smoking Colorado friend a buzz.

Maybe you are much lighter weight smoker than you are saying. Or just a liar with an agenda.

 

[MichiganMedGrower]

I can relate. My garage setup can vent inside our outside, depending on ambient temps.

I have a fitting in my chimney vent in the basement that has flow dampeners to close the vents when not in use.

I just quick disconnect the duct and point it under my living room floor in winter.

I've gotten tips from both of you that have been very helpful.

But I can't ignore the fact that RM3 recruits members from RIU for his web site that contains his "book of weed wisdom", or whatever it's called. (A collection of comments to wade through at your leisure.)
He also sells his "homegrown" seeds. I've heard they are decent.
It feels like he uses RIU to make money -- without paying to be a sponsor.

What would my agenda be, exactly?

I think you're a liar without an agenda and you're afraid of new ideas.

That's much, much worse.

Well last year and for a while you were supposedly testing and selling commercial lighting systems.

Then since that is only fantasy you decided you were an important weed activist.

And now that you are just busted (in a legal state) you have mostly just pontificated socialist ideals all over the politics forum.

I guess you are just feeding your own ego and defending your only friends.

You are obviously lonely and bitter and want some control desperately but keep making it worse for yourself.

Lol

Nothing wrong with your imagination!

How could I know any of this if it were not for your posts? It is all here.

that'z wot i lurnt in skool.

 

[boilingoil]

I had run-ins with Riddle several years ago with his boiling water technique. Still never poured boiling water on my roots in 45+ years of growing this cultivar. Done a lot of stupid shit back in the 70's and 80's when I first started growing.
@MichiganMedGrower , why all the hate, anger issues ? you seem like a reasonable guy. Learn and move on is my philosophy.

 

[Tim Fox]

wow zers

 

[torontoke]

I have no dog in this fight so this is just my perspective here but I can't ever remember reading a single post of yours that's positive towards another member on here.
So it really begs the question why are you even on here? All you seem to do is go from thread to thread shitting on everyone while claiming you know everything.
I think most folks on here have read it over and over many times u disagree with rm3's methods and that's ok but to follow him around and constantly try to drum up an argument seems childish and self centred.

How anyone else runs their grows and decides what equipment they prefer should be no one else's business. He isn't on here campaigning to convert everyone to his methods I'm sure he couldn't care less about how u or anyone else grow.
Everyone has the right to choose what works best for them including you so why always focus on what others are doing?

I have my reasons to hate on rm3 and Ttystick. They treated me quite poorly. Ttystick deserves it from my first night ever posting online. Riddler manipulated and did things I don't want to forgive him for.

It's all here to read although it's not worth the trouble.

But I am not actually a hater in real life. This is RIU.

You are right in your wisdom of course.

I don't give a crap how he does things. I care that he gives false information as fact and doesn't even admit when he is proven wrong.

And I have a personal beef with how he treated me.

But you are right. I admit I am stirring the pot to punish him. But also to help new growers learn about gardening and actual science instead of investing in a lot of wasted time and money.

I don't think your description of me never posting anything positive is correct though.

I help and contribute often.

 

[TheChemist77]

back to LIGHT,,, isnt fox tailing caused by genetics?? ive had a few that had fox tailing over the years,, i always just plant more seeds.. i actually had one plant fox tail all clones off it too, but it was very potent,not biggest yield but quality smoke for sure...

I assure you sir i meant no Ill will
I've seen some of your pics and know that you have much more to offer the community then what we've seen in these negative hate rants.
If you truly want to help other growers perhaps start a thread or journal and show the world how you think it should be done instead of telling everyone in their threads how it shouldn't.
It's tough to take anything positive out of posts that reek of saltiness.

Just my two cents anyway.

Back to light?

It comes from heat too. And excessive P in bloom.

This kind of rambling, incoherent, self contradictory ranting plus your need to follow us around just to 'punish' us tells me in no uncertain terms that you have far more serious personal, emotional and/or mental problems than a couple of guys on a pot forum.

Grow up, put your big boy pants on and get a life.

Why do you feel the need to poke at him? Just leave him alone obviously he doesn't like you like many others on this site. If you keep poking at him i'm gonna have to report you for trolling.
