"Your thinking in the lines that if water is a "universal" solvent, then the universe should be disolved and all of us non-polar lipidized weed growin people shouldnt even be here. no way."

no I didn't mean that.

I'm using definition 1 of the word, you are using definition 3. That's why I said it's semantics, we both know water doesn't dissolve everything, so we both understand but we're using definitions and wording a bit differently thus it is a difference in semantics.

I'm not arguing this point any more. I've had some coworkers say it is, and others say it isn't. And most of my coworkers have PhD's in a science field since I work in a neurovirology and cancer biology lab (mostly doing cellular and molecular biology, not clinical). In science I prefer the most precise definition possible, one that doesn't bring ambiguity due to multiple meanings. So I would say water is the best solvent and can solubilize many things, but I wouldn't use universal becuase it can be easily misunderstood if you read the definitions listed above.

I'll bet your head is spinnin now Kuri lol. Don't pay any of that any mind, you'd be better served in reading up on the biology of plants. When I started growing I think it was the first time I put my ole biology textbook from college to some good use lol. There's some interesting stuff there and it'll help you sort through all the old wives tales. (like the one about pouring OJ into the soil to make it taste like oranges lol)

Plant photoperiod is also interesting, do a search on florigen. Cannabis is a short day plant so the stuff pertaining to short day plants should apply.

peace

FINALPHASE/CLEAREX what is in it? hi there, i've recently heard of two things you can use when you flush your plants that help get the salts out and get the stored nutes in the plant out better than just ph adjusted water..... so WHAT IS IN final phase OR clearex that makes this happen? is there an ingredient in these things that you could add to the water without buying the product? i really can't buy these products at this time due to budgets for myself and if there was an active ingredient in those products that you Rating: 5
