Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

You only quit smoking once?
I quit for a year once.
Quit for two years, once, too.
Quit last time in 1982. :thumbsup:
Same day I met the Goddess...
Right place, right time, I guess.

Nope!
Didn't mention the first 7 times I quit, 'cause it was easy.
That's why I kept starting back up.
Was starting to wonder what them, (I'm addicted), weaklings were whining about.
Smoking is a choice.
Just choose not to smoke.

Heck I started when I was 12.
Un-filtered Luck Strikes, Philip Morris Commanders, Camels, Pall Malls and English Ovals.
Pack a day, off and on, for the next 25 years.
Would quit for a month, or 6, did quit for a Year and a half once.
Nothin' to it.:thumbsup:

Bought a house in '81.
Thought, perhaps I should quit again so I don't stink up the new house.
Oh so confident, I announce my intention.

Well, physical addiction is a fact.
And a bitch!
Been 28 years now, and Nick O'Tine still scares me.

Funny, the wife quit when she met me in '91.
But, I sure ain't no goddess.:rastasmoke:

Aloha.

I remember the Stooges doing the "Slowly I turn...Inch by inch..." routine. Same schtick? (Hermie's old, too. I know it's hard to tell -- it's the moisturizers!):lovestruck:

It's starting to look to me like the primary effect of far-red is telling the plant its got lotsa nearby neighbors, and to stretch to outgrow them.

I'm seeing a lot of anecdotal evidence--and reasoning that I suspect is based on faulty premises in regard to the red / far-red connection.

This is from Physicsnole (old). Have you encountered any supporting studies? For one thing, is this talking about intiating flower, or maintaining it? Both?

I would like to believe this stuff. And Leadenjin must have a reason for offering 735's. But wanting to believe it may be clouding some judgements. What do you think?

With 735nm far-red/near-infrared emitters available then it's possible to flower cannabis with 15 hours 'daylight'. How? Why? Well, the plant senses that critical 12-hours-darkness that triggers flowering in cannabis because a critical amount of phytochrome-FR has slowly, naturally, reverted to phytochrome-R during the dark cycle. But during the 'day' 660nm red light converts the phyto-R into phyto-FR, while far-red 735nm light more slowly converts the phyto-FR back to phyto-R. So we run all lights for 15 hours, then run nothing but 735nm for another two hours and finally 7 hours darkness.- artificially driving much of the phyto-FR back to phyto-R without waiting 12 hours for the natural reversion- so you can actually flower with shorter nights.
