Yep. That is what he is saying. Which is non-sense. At least the detrimental part.

Frosty weed can be top notch weed. But not all frosty weed is good. And weed doesn't need to look frosty to be fire.
Phreak, what he said doesn't ring true because the 'modern' weed is the same old weed in a brand new bottle. Frost being detrimental didn't make sense. What I've found is that the 'strongest' weed has the longest high. I ate a brownie last night and my wife had to hit me to get me to shut up -- I was yelling in my sleep. The columbian we got was never frosty but it was always so flavorful and long lasting.

So you are saying that frost on weed is detrimental and this characteristic has been bred into the plant? So, for example native Thai weed has absolutely no frost ever. It will be interesting to see with de-criminalization how much mutation occurs. The government gave out 1,000,000 trees and free seeds to people. All the plants on the internet appear 99% closer to each other now than some of the random weed we got in the 70s.
I took it to mean that today's frost is detrimental due to its ornamental nature rather than smoking quality. I read that members comments to be a criticism of bag-appeal breeding. 2¢

Similar to red wine mfgrs altering their product to suit taste for a specific profile. Give people what they want -- do you want fries w/that?

Plants don't stop uptaking Si in nature during bloom, but some humans think they have a better recipe. Si doesn't make harsh smoke. It doesn't even burn.

Too much P is the most common source of nute related harshness. It forms phosphorus pentoxide when burned which is an irritant to the throat.

Most plant nutrients sold on the market already have ample silica. Plus the watering lines aid in a minimum effect towards silica for plants. Leaf samples are the only way we can prove silica is in the plant. I run zero silica additives and still have silica in my leaf samples. I'm almost certain it didn't come from the air. So let's test our theories

You grow in soil? Have perlite in your mix?

Most nutrients already contain ample silica? I dont think so although some do.

silica is not a requirement but it has benefits. What is ample silica?

are we talking silica, silicate or silicon?

i have questions
