I like what you said about the plant knowing what it's supposed to do. Maybe it's possible that people forgot what people are supposed to do and that's why we're on these boards having these discussions :-)

Thanks, I'm totally down with letting nature do it's thing. Unfortunately, society (however you want to define forced behavioral rule) has forced peaceful people to do "un-natural" things in order to grow our treasured herb. If I was growing outdoors there wouldn't be a question of leaving the plant alone. Regardless, I'm gonna keep on letting 'em do what they do even if they are jammed in a cabinet. As far as biblical goes, the bible we are aware of today is only the writings romans selected to dominate its citizens with mental slavery. Although it may contain many facts, it is anything but a holy document.
