Hey there Italiano715,

I thought what you posted was very good. At least it contained reference to Costes et al's 1970 studies, which I had read before awhile ago. A whole lot of the info regarding photoperiods in regards to growing look at the complete growth cycle of a plant; but as you can see it my be an advantage at some points in a plants life and determental at others. BTW, subsequent studies to Costes et al's, has showed there is no harmfull residual effect (to tomato or sweet peppers plants) using 24/0 for short terms during vegative growth.

Yo' Headshake,

Don't be sorry about using Wiki, it's not a bad place to start with anything, just need to have a salt shaker handy so you can read thier stuff with a grain of salt. Everybody needs to understant that we really don't know everything about our beloved and sacred weed. It really is only in the last 20 years or so that science has figured out where the THC is located in the plant! Read older botany books (40+yrs old) and you'd think THC was in the leaves, stalks and branches. We've come a long way in a short time.

Oh, btw Italiano at 79 years of age I don't have much patience left and I use that as an excuse for why I'm so cranky. Besides, at my age it's one of the few things I'm still good at!
