Glad to see the tides turned for your ship bro! YS

Excellent find! The plant microbiome is a fascinating area of research, but still in its infancy. Great to see some cannabis-specific research being done. Back in April of this year, there was a special issue of the journal Botany dedicated to research on the plant microbiome. Some very...

Was just about to board this ship and then saw that last post! Better luck next time bro. YS

I've not come across any articles on that subject before, sorry bro. YS

Look I am beyond over this topic now. I don’t mind discussion and people voicing doubts and disagreement, but the way people have outwardly insulted me is tiring. Also, the way the mods have handled the trolls has been disappointing. I believe it’s against forum rules to troll and flame, yet...

I never claimed anything of the sort. So here's another cute litte Wiki link for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man Your powers of misinterpretation are impressive bro. YS

There's some interesting research being done on this topic, particularly temperature-dependent succession of microbial communities during the composting process. With an optimum C:N ratio, temps increase an average of 70F within the first 3 days, and significant changes in pH, O2 and CO2...

Who did that? No. I’ve never seen the need. The first fast / dry cured crop I moved was sold to my regulars though, and both commented that the new strain was higher grade and more potent. It wasn’t a new strain, it was the same I’d always grown. I’d just fast cured the buds. When I told them...

Thanks Otto. I’m a little annoyed my thread got locked, so I’ll take this opportunity to clear up a couple of things. To those who suggested that we’ve been smoking weed long enough to have it all figured out, I have an analogy for you. We’ve been making wine for probably even longer. Do you...

To think all I was trying to do was point out some logical fallacies of growing techniques. Never thought it would stir up such a fuss….for the record, my thesis had absolutely nothing to do with growing or smoking weed (but certainly helped me get through it LOL). I now regret I even mentioned...

I have to admit that made me laugh. Good call re. your assertion on oxidized cannabinoids. I don’t know. How? What is currently understood of cannabinoid oxides is that these compounds are essentially ‘inactivated’ when bound to oxygen (eg. THC —> CBN). A high CBN ratio would dampen the...

Thanks for the pointer UCME, duly noted. I agree a review or article should include references. Actually doing this properly (I mean really properly) takes considerable time i.e.. authenticating references against supporting literature and more importantly scrutinizing supplementary data and...

Sorry MGG, I’ll try not to write in a way that comes across as ‘Mr Know It All’ in future. You’d probably get on well with my wife, LOL. Anyway not here to try and misdirect anyone, only to here to help and always happy to direct you to references where I can. Peace. YS

No problem. Yeah if you stick to peer reviewed journals you’ll be able to make up your own mind instead of letting others do it for you.. I always encourage people to do this. Unfortunately you need subscriptions of many of the good ones. And wading through hours of dry literature isn’t...

Is cannabis supposed to be incinerated Green? Any cannabinoids that are incinerated are destroyed. The act of smoking is to volatilize cannabinoids so that those aerosols can enter the blood stream though the lungs. I beg to differ with your reasoning. Roasting hops is done to preserve flavour...

It might work, I’ve never tried it. A CF could become saturated with moisture in the first 24hrs of drying, it’s then a pain to dry the carbon out again. Maybe better off putting the filter outside the room instead. YS

Then do what works for you bro, but feel free to leave the attitude at the door. :) You're not the only person this forum who can claim to grow quality gear. I've never had a single customer or friend complain about my buds tasting shit or smoking harsh. Yes, I say keep an open mind. You think...

Heat is an essential part of the fast curing process. Cold temperature is counterproductive. The air temp that comes out of a dehumidifier is about 1 degree warmer than the air that comes in due to air flow over the compressor. So 3 or 4 DHs in a small properly sealed bedroom can quickly raise...

Plants synthesize their own vitamins. Other additives may directly or indirectly elicit cascades that can lead to a response. As such the ingredients might considered as signalling compounds . Some compounds can be used to manipulate responses in plants, such as those mediated by biotic and...

What exactly is the reasoning for burping every few days? Are you trying to release moisture? Then use a desiccant instead. Are you trying to release ethylene? Why? What makes you think it’s being produced if there’s no moisture and biological activity has been suspended. If ethylene is present...
