Fluoridated water.

I just saw this while looking for these Hemp Dog treats that I heard about, the first of any food to be used for consumption, containing Hemp. Believe it! Australia sucks massive dick.

Anyway, I was thinking this might be useful to all of you. If your city used fluridated water, don't use it.

Press Release.

Tasmanian entrepreneurs, Ian Rochfort (farmer and paramedic) and Bill Robertson (former Parks & Wildlife Officer and cray fisherman), have cultivated a Cannabis Sativa crop in world record time from planting to harvest.

The crop grown in a location which, under Australian Government legislation can not be divulged, was harvested in 8 weeks. The standard growing time in Australia and internationally is usually 5 to 6 months.

How did the do it?

"It's not what we did, it's what we didn't do," says Mr. Rochfort.

According to Rochfort and Robertson, a pilot study into the reasons as to why our previous crops did not perform to this high level of production has indicated that one noticeable chemical in particular has hindered the natural growth of the plantations.

This caused a yellowing effect on the leaves at the early plant growth stage, known as, "foliage fluorosis".

Previous crop locations have shown to have a high concentration of "sodium silicofluoride" in the soil and irrigation supplies, in the range of 0.8 ppm(parts per million) to 1.2 ppm.

According to Mr Rochfort, these crops also showed an increase in the THC(tetrahydrocannabinol) levels of the tested materials. Under Government legislation the allowable upper limit of THC is 50 ppm.

"The plant chemical defence system is too busy reating to the toxins instead of just getting on with the job of growing," says Mr Robertson.

The record breaking crop was grown in a controlled Organic Environment with favourable climate conditions. There was also an increase of seed size of around 30% and an increase of seed yields in the vacinity of 50%.

"Other Horticultural and Viticultural growers in Australia and globally are eagerly awaiting further results and information from our experiences," says Mr. Rochfort. (More Info. from: [email protected] ).

Wouldn't we, as a cannabis growing community, have noticed this decades ago if it was true?

A grower using nothing but distilled water (there are plenty of them) would say, "Jeebus! My plants are growing three times faster (8 weeks vs. 6 months) than these other peoples plants." It would become common rule to never use tap water to grow cannabis with.

Also, almost everyone using tap water would notice what they are calling 'foliage fluorosis'. They claimed, "This caused a yellowing effect on the leaves at the early plant growth stage, known as, "foliage fluorosis". I use fluoridated tap water and have never noticed a yellowing effect on my leaves.

And also again, a simple Google search for "foliage fluorosis" comes up with pretty much nothing.

I say that they are full of crap. They never explain what they are calling "favourable climate conditions". They could be growing Cannabis indoors under 10,000 watt of lighting and going, "Jeese, this stuff is growing fast--I wonder why?" Then they go out into the fields and test the soil and find out that the soil has high levels of fluorides. Then they automatically jump to the conclusion that the high levels of fluorides are leading to poor crop production.

There may be a correlation between the less-than-perfect plant growth and fluorides in the soil, but that does not proove the causation of high fluorides and less-than-perfect plant growth.

"The plant chemical defence system is too busy reating to the toxins instead of just getting on with the job of growing," says Mr Robertson. What the hell is "reating"? "Bill Robertson (former Parks & Wildlife Officer and cray fisherman)". If you want to listen to the fisherman about how to grow Cannabis be my guest. I am going to stick with my fluoridated tap water as it seems to be doing the job just as well as distilled water.
