24 hour dark period before harvest
	
	
		ok not to throw everyone off track but in Rusty's post he has a quote saying Trichs go clear-amber-cloudy. Now I know when I first starting reading on this site that it was stated that Trichs went clear-cloudy-amber and cloudy was what you were shooting for. Anyone want a shot at this?

 Yeah...after posting I noticed the author's error, but it was too late to edit.

 Gee...I'm impressed.  Perhaps you will now grace us with those studies and results.  Being a masters candidate, (in science...?) you must have access to the material, to be so persistent in your claims of technique validity. 
However, you are supposedly going to U. Mississippi, evidentally a masters candidate, yet you can not wrap your head around the need to support ones scientific claims with testing and proof?  Is this how one get's a masters at U. Miss...to plagiarize folk authors' trying to make a buck on a quazi-unprovable concept, and to support your position by saying:

 Some of your statements just don't add up. Like the fact that in the above quote, you use U. Miss scientists in the third-person, yet in the first quote I cited, you so nonchalantly include yourself in the creation of G-13.  (lol)
  Altho it has been asked repeatedly of you to provide proof of your statements, it's looking like you have none.  Doesn't surprise me at all, as nobody in the past has provided proof that the lunar phase concept is valid, either.  But honestly...I'd love to see something other than inuendo and folklore to help prove your points.  But barring any tangible evidence...it's just wishful thinking, and definatelly not an advanced technique.
Can you tell us...have you even tried to germinate off-cycle, and honestly done a test as to whether your barking up the right tree? (rhetorical question...I'm pretty sure I know the answer)
edit:
It's not the technique that get's under my skin.  It's likely a benign technique that at it's worst may only cost a few weeks of waiting for the "correct" time of the month.  It's the unsubstanciated claims of being a fact.  Show me proof, and I shut up rather quickly with the proper acknowledgements.

		G = government
13 =  M  (13th letter of alphabet)
How G-13 escaped the government test facility:  The true story.
Working late at night at UofMisss in secret government test labs, I came across this new strain of marijuana called G13.  Wow, best plants in the lab.  So at great risk I smuggled a cutting home in my sock.  Now in order to do this I had to get past the drug sniffing dog.  You will never believe it, but it's name was "Rusty".  Now Rusty was a vicious, snarling beast of a dog.  Quite a few people at the lab enjoyed stirring Rusty up to see him foam at the mouth.  I however, had a plan.  I would befriend Rusty and escape with my cutting of G13.  For weeks I worked on trying to get Rusty to be more friendly, but it was hard work.  Finally, I had a plan I thought might work..I brought my female dog to work every day and left her in the parking lot near Rusty's kennel.  Sure enough, Rusty fell in love.  On a night when she was in heat and Rusty was distracted, I slipped the G13 cutting into my sock.  I knew if I got caught the world would never know the joys of G-13.  Whew, I made it past the distracted Rusty, sprinted to the parking lot and escaped with my dog.  I soon cloned the G13 and spread this lovely plant across the world, leaving Rusty alone and frustrated back at the lab.

		Interesting twist to the fable.  I've heard it before.  But Rusty is rarely distracted. (especially by a bitch in heat) Plus, you forgot the best part.  You know...the part where a "scientist" being watched, was deemed irrelevant to the program due to slipshod scientific technique, lazy standards, inability to show work...and ultimately theft.  Apparently, the dean of curriculum was wary of a certain "scientist" spouting fiction as fact, (this "scientist" was also a suspect in a string of thefts) so in the interest in keeping their institutional accreditation to the highest standards, had Rusty and a handful of other purists there to keep an eye on those that may do it harm.  Come to find out...the person wasn't a scientist at all, but a temporary janitor at the facility.  Tiz a shame, too.  Working soooo hard trying to advance one's pet technique, and ultimately not being trusted in such a fine community as this.  But sometimes a story (and it's author) just goes astray.  :jointsmile:
But I digress...
If you had the proof, you'd have offered it by now.  But as your story continues...you seem to make statements that get more and more difficult to accept on face value.  But please, by all means continue...your story is, at the very least, quite entertaining despite the lack of facts. :thumbsup:
Dutch: Is trying to distinguish fact from fiction retarded?  This is after all the advanced growing forum, right?  
Sorry for the hijacking, Revanche.  But ya gotta admit...this has added an extra dimension to your thread.  (thanks for the rep, Dai)  :thumbsup:

		I heard that Carl Spackler was the one to get g13 out of the lab, he crossed it with kentucky bluegrass, featherbed bent and northern cali. sensemilia you could play 18 holes on it then get  stoned to the bejeezus afterwards!
