cant wait to see what this little kid has to say when he gets home from school if his dogs dont die from pulling him home in the cold weather. Lmao

I would never go so far as to say or claim that about myself, but it is very, very rare that I am not pleased and totally satisfied with my results. Possibly my standards are lower than those of others, but what I grow most definitely works for me.

considering you know so much about botany i would say that you would go some might fine fruit in my book man!

I will not rate or rank what I grow but I will say that maybe the biggest mistake most growers make is to believe that cannabis plants exist outside the rest of the botanical world, that what applies to almost every single other plant does not apply to cannabis plants just because they produce cannabinoids and are illegal.

They are just plants and what applies to almost every single other plant equally applies to them so if you learn about plants in general you will have a far greater chance of success growing cannabis. A person would stop using all the fad and gimmick ways of doing things and stop what they like to believe is true experimentation, and as one person recently claimed it to be, scientific experimentation, and they would do what is best for their plants and they would have much better success.

lol yoda teach me your ways!
If you want to learn from the best here ..... absorb everything that Uncle Ben says about growing. He is the one and only member here that if I find myself unsure about something and I cannot find the answer researching, and because it is a cannabis specific question my family members cannot tell me the answer, I will go to and ask what's up?

Uncle Ben is Da Man on RIU.

The genetic structure (genotype) only plays 50% of the role in determining the appearance and quality (phenotype) of a given plant. The other half is determined by environmental conditions such as light, temperature, humidity. soil nutrition and more. All these factors play a role in the growth and health of plants and the physical and chemical nature of marijuana's trichomes.


When someone attempts to grow cannabis, if they hope to be at all successful that is, they will do their very best to create growing conditions, a growing environment, that will be as optimal to growing cannabis plants as they possibly can. You have done the exact opposite of that.

Creating as near to optimal growing conditions/environment is the only way to have any chance of true success when growing cannabis. For each and every tiny bit of that where someone fails, where their setup falls short, there will be a loss and when there are enough failures, shortfalls, combined, it equates to total failure.

Someone cannot take a plant with thousands and thousands of years of evolution shaping and forming and directing what it does, how it does it and when it does what it needs and when it needs it, all according to strict genetic coding that is not flexible, that cannot be altered, that cannot be trained, that is not "instinct" and actually believe they will succeed unless they are delusional.

Given what you are attempting, you might as well plant palm trees in the Antarctic and expect them to successfully grow and flourish.

Dude ... accept the help and advice that at least a few people have given you, like me when I posted the list of online growing books and other sites for valid growing information, and follow the information you find there, rather than rejecting what help is given and being abusive while doing it. People will help you if you only chill out and open up your mind and accept the help.

I will give you one half point for something that others said you are doing that does not work. It will not work given your conditions, but what you are doing will work under certain conditions. That is feeding your plants CO2 at night (though I somewhat doubt you are pumping actual CO2 onto them, but if you are, then when you were told that plants do not use CO2 at night, depending if certain conditions did exist, which they do not in your case, you were told wrong.

Plants do not need sunlight or light from grow lights to take in CO2 and use it, they only need stored light energy. The energy harvested via the light reaction is stored by forming a chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a compound used by cells for energy storage. This chemical is made of the nucleotide adenine bonded to a ribose sugar, and that is bonded to three phosphate groups. This molecule is very similar to the building blocks for our DNA. The dark reaction takes place in the stroma within the chloroplast, and converts CO2 to sugar. This reaction doesn't directly need light in order to occur, but it does need the products of the light reaction (ATP and another chemical called NADPH). The dark reaction involves a cycle called the Calvin cycle in which CO2 and energy from ATP are used to form sugar.

Plants grown in extremely hot, dry areas like deserts, can only safely open their stomates at night when the weather is cool. Thus, there is no chance for them to get the CO2 needed for the dark reaction during the daytime. At night when they can open their stomates and take in CO2, these plants incorporate the CO2 into various organic compounds to store it.

You get a half point for your nigh time use of CO2, well maybe a quarter point since your growing conditions are not such where this sort of process would occur.
not trying to pick a fight but every where ive looked every piece of info ive come across says shut down c-02 after lights out.is it really that much difference that your willing to ignor all otherposts that say to turn off c-02 when lights are off.{including manufactures ) of enviromental devices. im not even trying to question your knowledge or advice but if lights off c-02 is so benificial then why is there not more info on the subject? p s...im not in the desert will it still help under right cond?just trying to expand my knowledge

i dont think they will all die you can easly harvest a dub sack if you pulled 7 plants and put them in difrent containers just be carefull with the roots.

You need to pay attention to the certain conditions where CO2 at night will be used. Very dry, very hot areas. In conditions like that plants can only safely open their stomates at night when the weather is cool. That is not the normal growing condition. I was not saying using CO2 is right under any and every condition. I was just pointing out where people said plants do not use CO2 at night was not 100% accurate. It is conditional, it is situational, it depends on the growing environment .. but in the right environment plants will use CO2 at night because it will be their only opportunity to use it. ..... and I did mention that the conditions the thread starter is attempting to grow under are not such conditions.

The point was that it is not like plants cannot use CO2 at night or that they will not use CO2 at night, because they most certainly will when in a growing environment where it is their only opportunity to use it.

I was not advising or advocating the use of CO2 during hours of darkness for everyone. I was only correcting what was said by sharing a botanical fact.

That's not what my four family members with degrees in botany say, but then I guess N.C. State University could have taught them all incorrectly.
Yes, your anecdotal evidence is far superior to actual scientific studies. Try clicking those links I put in there, the actual real scientists who actually tested this hypothesis found that water droplets unless somehow suspended above the leaf surface do not cause burns. Don't take my word, or your families word, research it for yourself.
