Are you referring to Practical Skills in Biology? I know that book it was great for rolling joints on in school.

The only reason hydroponics is used in the lab is because it shows negative and positive reactions faster then anything else. Science is all about eliminating possibilities, and the business of science demands fast results so Hydro as their choice makes sense.

Marijuana is not a typical fruit bearing or flower bearing plant either and you canā??t apply that science to a resin production plant. Fruit bearing and flower bearing plant have quite a lot in common with each other and play a role is natureā??s life cycle. Allan Jones rewrote some of their findings if memory serves me right he helped Cambell with the first one I believe. C. R. Hawes Plant cell biology is better in understanding an explanation of microinjection and micromanipulation and I find that more relevant to Marijuana cultivation.

Marijuana is a dichotomous short day resin producing plants. The requirements are different then most traditional plants in nature today. These plants will adept to almost any environment and that is what makes it so wonderful to work with. Marijuana does not really grow flowers, or fruit to eat. It produces resin that contains THC. We smoke the plant to get the resin. The negative side is the natural chemical chlorophyll you ingest when you smoke marijuana to extract the resin. A resin producing plant has many different requirements from non-resin producing plants and has a short life cycle where there is tremendous change every 24 hours in the cell structure. Itā??s very sensitive to the environment around it, how may other plants can change their sex if it gets to hot and produce viable seeds that are not part of the skin or fruit?

I feel hydro is the best way to achieve the maximum production of resin for the limited cycle of this plantā??s life and the best way to keep up with the fast changing requirements of a short life cycle plant.

I did not find you analogy to vitamins relevant at all. With vitamin supplements you get the nutrition with out the sugar and poison used to grow it in again and again and again in the same soil leaching nutrients and making the plant modify itā??s genetics to adapt to the changes in the soil.

ā??Your cells do this from the time you're born till you die. For 70 + years it copies all these strands of DNA with no errors. You have on the order of 10^ 13 or 10 ^14 number of cells, that's

I thought we were talking about growing Marijuana?
1,000,000,000,000,000 cells each with 46 chromosomes. There are about 3 billion base pairs in those 46 chromosomes, 5% of which codes for things. A cell cycle takes about 24 hours so it does this in a paltry 24 hours. No need to go looking for miracles, the fact we aren't all cancer ridden and dying is a miracle in itself..ā?

I think this is wrong too; there are thousands of influences in our everyday life that I feel have the ability to change and alter human cells. Electromagnetic radiation for one is found all around us. We assume the levels are not so high as to hurt us but after 20-30 years of electromagnetic radiation science did find a change in human cells a rise in cancer, birth deformities, and other anomalies. The DNA strains that control life were altered by outside influences was the finding.

You said ā??But if it's just for me then I don't need such great yieldsā? and that the point. Your needs are from your prospective and based on your experience. Do you not think this influences your opinion of what the outcome should be? You arrived at your conclusion by observation and trial and error. That limits your data and manipulates you outcome but does it make that wrong? No not really, data is only relevant to the time and manor it was collected and what you are going to do with the conclusion will affect the outcome.

Thanks for the debateā?¦.good luck with your grow. Stay safe and stay healthy.
