Growing myths debunked (open discussion)

Here's another one


That high temps makes it grow better.

 

MJ Growing Myths??


1. Anything that Tony Baloney ever said about growing MJ!


2. Nesta gets all his pics from High Times Magazine!


.

 

mmmm nice thread should be in the faq with a title of PEOPE FUCKING READ befor ya start posting stupid quitions


bong water helps plants.............


adding things such as watermellon and apple or such in the soil or water of your plant will give it flavor........


blowing pot smoke on your plants will increase the thc.....


pot plants grow best in pure beach sand.......


and adding chicking skin to you soil will increase stem thickness.....probly not but ya might see a few maggots


and feeding your plant 100% natural grape juice will give it purple buds


oh the things i have heard over the years , we should start a smokers myths debunked awesome thread none the less

 

How about Smoking Hemp to get fucked up...i remember a kid in high school said he smoked a hemp necklace and said he got fucked up......

 

I heard that if you smoke the pot you'll grow tits on your back.

 

this is very very true

 

HJ<------ Fondling his back tits as he types!!!

 

how about-


If you increase the nutrients in the res, and add in a bunch of products like "ZOOM-A-BOOM BUD BOOSTER" the plants grow faster and bigger (keep your PPM up around 70,000 for best results)


oh


and you have to "flush with pure water" the last xx days at the end to get the "chemical" taste out...


and


clip the fan leaves off to expose the bud to the light, makes the buds grow bigger (in fact, i always cut off ALL the leaves, and the whole plant turns into ONE BIG BUD!!!)


don't forget


Holding the smoke gets you higher

 

uh, you definitely do have to flush with pure water 10-14 days before harvest and then stop feeding if you use chemical fertilizers.

 

I agree Nug.


I also like to flush my soil girls before harvest, not for the reason as above but for the fact it seems to help the plant deminish some of the chlorophyl etc before picking, which inturn leads to a better tasting, cured bud.

 

Flushing with plain water is a definite MUST. Even for soil. If you don't flush then you are smoking some fucked up buds. The P and K taste fucking nasty and gives people headaches.


Some products can produce denser buds and increased swelling of the calyxes. Only CO2 produces faster growth rates.


Buds that are exposed to light WILL be bigger than a bud that only has fan leaves exposed to light. (remember bud leaves produce chlorophyll too..)


I would also think holding the smoke in would allow for a more complete "assymilation" of the THC molecules in the smoke.

 

I've never tried to debunk the "leech before you harvest" myth. I don't use much chemical fertilizer and I STILL wouldn't smoke it without flushing it. Why would you NOT flush?


Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it good to have a slight nute deficiency at the time of harvest? I've never actually achieved this and never really tried, but it's a good theory, for sure. There's another myth to be debunked.


Fact: Chemical Fertilizers Taste Funny.


They work great on my plants, but smoking them just doesn't do it for me.


And holding in pot smoke longer does get you "higher". The longer you hold it in, the longer your lungs can absorb the THC. Believe it or not, but coughing actually can "get you more fucked up".


Coughing bursts capillaries in your lungs, allowing for THC to be absorbed more easily.


Believe it or not.

 

the the general consensus is, qwak is dead wrong

 

about holding smoke in longer. ive heard its actually better to blow a little out and suck a little in and repeat so as to circulate the smoke in your lungs. something about it sitting in there while your holding your breath its not all getting absorbed as much as it potentially could with breating in and out after a hit.

 

BWAAAA HAAA HA HAAAA HAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!


myths exposed, or reinforced?


great thread i guess.....


From our friends at Ball State University:


Cannabis smoke is usually inhaled deep into the lungs and held there for an extended time, in order to maximize absorption of the active compounds. While cannabis users in North America often retain the smoke in their lungs for up to a minute or longer, preliminary laboratory data suggest that the retention of almost all of the cannabinoids in the inhaled smoke may occur after a considerably shorter interval (less than five seconds may be sufficient).399,487 By contrast. prolonged retention of inhaled smoke is not common among cannabis users in either India or Jamaica, although deep inhalation techniques are typically used.412,534 On the basis of the present data, then, it would appear that under optimal conditions, a smoker may absorb up to one-half of the THC available in the cannabis material. Under most conditions however, both social and experimental, considerably less of the THC actually enters the physiological system[n] The lack of standard administration techniques generally renders detailed or quantitative comparisons quite tenuous, both among experiments and between laboratory and social situations.

 

Shit, they can hold there breath for more than a minute, and with smoke in there guts too


I gots to exercize more


LOL

 

From my garden:


Chemical Fertilizers Taste Like Shit.

 

holdmeclosrtonydanza!! that avatar is sweet.


i love arrested development

 

myth:


"plants need to 'rest' .... 24 hours light does not grow much more that 18."


fact:


"24 hour light does increase growth a good deal. An 18 hour light cycle has the


advantage of producing less heat and ,of course , is a little less on the tricity bill."


noone

 

I can't agree with the 24hr of light theory.. Plants need to rest...At least mine do


The only thing that will incrase growth rate and harvest time is CO2..
