We have'nt had this much fun in Advanced Techniques, since...http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...-big-buds.html

Well I remember several threads (not by Lola) with questions like 12/12 from seed? in the advanced techniques sections (please!!!!!!!) and no one does anything about it so I'm just struggling with why this one particular thing is raising such a fuss.

Take a quick glance down this forum.....24 hours darkness, 12/12 from seed, how to cure bud. I consider NONE of these in any way 'advanced techniques" but there they all are. Maybe exactly HALF are truly "advanced" in either the technique or the question so if you're going after that type of thing Rusty, do it for the ENTIRE forum not just this one technique.

THEN perhaps the words "advanced techniques" will actually mean something.

Lola, sorry to rant on your thread. Like your grow and will stay out of arguements from here on in, my thoughts being already stated.

I actually use a publication called Llewellyn's Moon Sign Book. It is similar to the Farmer's Almanac, but more accurate.

I would love to conduct experiments properly, but lack the funds to sprout 10,000 seeds at once, and what a waste of seeds.

I would hope that anyone who is sick of Moon Signs would stop reading these posts. I could've sworn I posted the first thread in basic growing and it was moved to Advanced Techniques, but I am STONED a lot of the time. BFD. I think this is where a thread about any experimental technique should go anyway.

In the meantime, I am just having a lot of fun with my friends. I thank them all for their kind words. Anybody can butt in here anytime they want. Let's just have fun. These boards are big enough for everyone's opinions. Please stop the name-calling and hostile comments. No one enjoys it when they are the one being made fun of.

I just had 3 girls sexed and would much rather talk about how happy I am. :D

Lola is wrong, let's stone her to death, and for god sake anybody who says something like "24 darkness improves potency" let's get out there and damn well rip their ears off. They can't prove it.....how DARE they post???

I'm completely missing the "fact-finding" of your "mission" Rusty but am having no trouble at all feeling your hostile vibes here.

Your post shows you believe the farmers had a 'secret' to planting. I am not saying you are wrong to see it from that perspective, but that there just may be an alternative explination behind the reasoning for this technique. I believe that back in the early days not all farmers had calendars, but by watching moon cycles and weather over the years found a good method of "starting" their season to assure seasonal weather or market deadlines were met, no matter what region of the country you were farming in. :thumbsup:

And after trying to get the OP to post a link or show us her proof, it devolved into this:

Since both claims were apparently false, (no "moved" tag on the post, and like many others before me, I have scoured the internet looking for proof of this technique's validity, and found none) plus all the other claims she offered that were getting more and more far fetched...was simply trying to get her to put her money where her mouth is.
Like I stated over and over again...the technique is benign at worst. No problems will likely result from attempting it. The big problem I have is someone coming in here and passing fiction off as fact. Period. If you choose to replace sound plant biology with folklore, you should at the very least be informed of it's unproven status, instead of being told it's fact. After all, this isn't cannabistales.com.

Those that wish to get personnal can and should expect the same in return. I know I do. The difference is, I try not to cry about it too much. Matter of fact, Lola's story about ripping-off G-13 made me chuckle. I guess if you wish to see my approach as hostile, that's your prerogative. But if you were to sit-back and look at the techniques we use today, they were evolved through intimate discussion, proof of ones claims, biology, and results. This now forms our knowlege base. Not ethereal and unproven concepts.

And regardless...if you make claims, you damn well better be able to support them. Tiz the nature of the Advanced growing forum.

Lola, as I stated before...good luck with your experiments.

:thumbsup:

So I guess the ear-ripping is out.....darn......:( :D
