Was an unintended consequence. Believe me the heart doesn't stop beating all day every day. The time can't go by fast enough.
Pictures and questions, outdoor grow

Thanks for the info. Yeah I have to find the link again, but a guy on a different thread sent me one. Seemed legit. Want to grow a really purple, like leaves and all, strain. I want the entire thing dark purple. The link is to a site with mostly purple strains. Why? Cause I think it's cool, and less conspicuous.

A really Purple strain I've always wanted to try. They have a few other really purple strains as well.

it does occur to me that if you weren't outside taking 50 pictures of it a day it might not be quite so noticeable

Totally secluded on two sides, one side guy is never home and could care less I'm sure, side I'm worried about has a six foot fence. They have to make an effort to see. The green fence is in the pics. Also the house is off the street 60' and blocks back yard completely. Really wide house - 80'.it does occur to me that if you weren't outside taking 50 pictures of it a day it might not be quite so noticeable
I must also add, I can't help myself. I'm camera happy.

Cool, yeah something like that. Of course I won't be growing shit next year if I don't make it through this one. Granted I do make it out free, here are some pics of what I'm looking for...

Seeing a granddaddy Purp as big as the one you have now would just be amaze-balls

"Now overwatering or using boiling water or using aspirin, triggers a chemical response in the plant, and makes the flowers age faster and the plant will brew up the sugarsin it into alcohols.... like what happens during curing"
Boiling water kills the roots, this was printed in the origininal growers handbook from the 70's, it was supposedly used to force THC from the root mass into the plant if I recall correctly. Perhaps there are more recent findings that back up RM's theory, I tried it when I was like 15 after reading about it but not for the cure
, didn't do much because there were no buds lol.

it makes the plant think its in flood conditions, and it starts using its internal reserves to survive, so when you cut it down a week later, most of the stuff that you need the cure to get rid of are already gone.

Ive done the boiling water thing in a hydro grow decades ago. Read it in a small booklet on growing before the internet was invented. "Boiling water with loads of sugar and hanging the plant upside down so the THC would flow to the buds".. Boiling water on roots cooks and kills the roots and therefore the plant.
Ive had a good read of RM3 ideas and can see how it may effect the drying and curing stage. But boiling water is not a flood..its death.

i didn't say it was a flood, i said it made the plant think it was in a flood, so it will react accordingly, converting carbohydrates into sugars and sugars into alcohols

yep you did but my point is that boiling water kills the roots straight away. The plant is then in huge shock and is dying/dead. It would not be thinking its in a flood...Pouring normal water on and soaking the soil may make the plant react to flood conditions.

ok, plants don't think, lacking a central nervous system. the damage from the boiling water mimics the damage a flood would cause. the plant does start to die, but it takes it several days to fully pass away, and in those several days, it will try to survive by using up carbohydrates and sugars it has stored since its root system is no longer functioning.
submersing the roots does the same thing, but it takes several days longer.

I can see how a plant could interpret 'flushing' as flooding since it basically is flooding the plant with water. I don't understand why you would need to boil the roots though. I mean our job is to mimic nature as (indoor) growers. Where the hell on earth do plants come into contact with boiling water? Whatever floats your boat though. If it works for you then go for it. Not gonna argue over it. Seems unnecessary to me.

i don't feel its my job to mimic nature, i feel its my job to get as close to some things as i can and surpass what things i can.
i can't have the real sun in my tent, so i get by with the best light i can afford. i can assure my plants get regular water, regular nutrients, and as close to perfect heat and humidity as possible, something they never get in nature. plants in nature don't get 16+ hours of light every day. they get rained on at night. they get eaten by rabbits and deer.
i don't really try to mimic nature at all, i try to surpass it where i can.

They don't but your artificial lighting will never outdo the sun.
