Wondering if a technique, product or idea is fact or myth...?

[LolaGal]

Oh what fun is there in being civil to Rusty, FBR?

The man goes around callling me an idiot from day one at this site. I have been harrased by Rusty, aggravated, made fun of, all kinds of mean spirited stuff...

Rusty's been GOOD lately huh? Doesn't make it up to all the people he's been mean to in the past in my opinion.


I get threatened for saying Rusty's experts are full of shit and I can pull more out anyday to say the opposite? That's lame....... very lame...

You weren't threatened and it wasn't that you just said his experts are full of shit. The whole post was 3 near insults meant to troll and piss off Rusty and bait him into saying something he shouldn't.

I'm sorry that the 2 of you don't get along really I am but like I said before, I am sick of people responding to attacks with more attacks or insults. Use the report key.

Rusty has served his last suspension and has been good with 1 exception since he's been back. The mods aren't going to keep him down with a boot on his neck for past mistakes. Everyone gets a few chances at first.

If anyone can't learn from repeated suspensions, then they will become permenant.

If the 2 of you can't get along then just ignore each other.

I have to add this. I am so sick of some of these ongoing feuds, not just between the 2 of you but others.

More importantly, I am guessing a majority of the members here are also sick of seeing stupid internet fights.

Look at this thread, 5 out of the 12 posts are now dealing with this ongoing fight instead of the topic.

If you don't want to stop fighting because it's stupid, then think about doing it for the other members here.

Yea we are all different and see things in different ways.We are tired of the fighting I come here for info not this crap!

ive always wondered about moon phases..
like transplanting when theres a full moon and so on because of gravity i guess, no clue... nice thread rusty.

[Rusty Trichome]

Hmm...three posts as a newbie, waterdog and you are already tired of the fighting? lol.
My heart goes-out to y'all that are apparently frail and easily offended.

So what's up...? Does anyone want to discuss the content or verascity of the scholar's insight contained within? Anyone want to present opposing viewpoints and and discuss the thread content? Anyone have additional links with valid insight? Or does everyone want to talk personalities rather than principles, and avoid discussing anything to do with the myths and misinformation this is addressing?

<sigh>

Thanks Stoner. (just saw your post) :thumbsup:

I've read the links provided and agree with the info they contained. Possibly this thread could become an ongoing discussion and repository for gardening links and resources that aren't specifically for cannabis cultivation? :twocents:

Here's a link that I give my friends when they ask me about gardening pests and pest control. IPM

Hey Rusty,

I don't want to continue anything between you and LolaGal, but in her defense I would note that Linda Chalker-Scott did hedge her responce with the observation that things that are influenced by lunar cycles (pollinators or pests) may have an indirect effect on a plant (at least outdoors) and how it does. But I would not expect anything less from experts. Almost allows leave some "wiggle" room in your answers.

I think some true science in regards to container size, various veg times and such, scince they hold alot of mythology, especially with regards to growing with hydro.

I don't at all mind discussing the pro's and con's of the papers, but I am getting sick and tired of members chiming-in during my postings with accusations, inuendo and and a severe lack of proof backing their insults. None of us here has exclusive rights to one technique or another, but some folks sure do turn hostile if you disagree with them and show proof backing your dissent. Most folks would see this as an opportunity to discuss. Some take it as an insult.

Ms Chalker-Scott's statement that "Though a few articles claim lunar effect on some plant attribute or another, there is no cohesive connection among these papers, and in fact most of the articles strongly refute any such effect." doesn't seem very ambiguous to me. But it is a summary of other papers published on the subject and not nearly as informative as having the actual studies in front of us to see what was debunked, what was plausible. But I've seen nothing on the web negative of her papers, and she has nothing to gain by presenting one opinion or another, so I am willing to give a much higher degree of credibility than someone selling a book with 'handy' charts.

crabbyback: How does horticulture not apply to growing cannbis? Cannabis is a plant, and has to follow certain biological processes. Minor differences in climatic and nutritional needs, but as I've heard before..."it's a class-c plant".

It's a C3 plant like the majority of plants and trees in the world. I knew what you meant by class C, tho.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant horticultural sites that don't cater exclusively to MJ growers but I guess that doesn't make sense either.
