Does anyone have any examples of "bro-science" that they've used that that seemed to work?
Or has anybody debunked any of those myths?
(Bonus) whats the dumbest thing youve ever heard to do? Someone told me to take wire-hangers and "choke" the stalks during drying and it will squeeze the thc further into the buds...
Besides all the old rumors and the same silly stuff that most of us have heard, at least I studied as much as I could through the 80s before my first grow in '88. I would read every High Times from cover to cover, I bought a few of the classic grow books, and did a bunch of other research.......so I got my ducks in a row as best I could early on. But......I bought one of those "Phototrons" in like, '86. It promised to be this magical self-contained, nearly effortless, work-free unit, with flourescent tubes, surrounded by reflectors, and the claim was that you would grow like 6 plants that you constantly trimmed, like every other node.....almost bonsai plants that would perpetually grow, produce unlimited buds almost all the time.......
Yeah, right. It did none of that. It became a seedling chamber......
Dumb was scraping and smoking resin from metal pipes.......it was probably pure cancer in disgusting black burnt goop form. And the putting a bud inside the pipe chamber to "resinate". Like it would transform it into some super-potent hash bud..........it just made a black, nasty tasting bud.
Saving roaches, taking them apart, rolling new joints with it, saving those roaches, rolling that up, etc, etc...... same concept, by the time you got to the joint made from roaches of roaches of roaches it would be like SOOOOO potent........again, burnt goop and it got so clogged and gooey we couldn't even pull on the joint......
Taking every single leaf off so the light would hit the flowers only.......I've heard that one. Didn't really buy it, it's not rocket science that the leaves are actually needed to soak up the light that the flowers need......
