WOW !! Sounds like allot of granite is bellow.
jamessr Reviewed by jamessr on . Does MJ uptake radon? With all these basement grows there's got to be some weed that's grown in basements with a high radon concentration. I'm wondering how this could potentially affect the health of the end-user. I guess radon wouldn't really be in the soil so it may not get taken up by the plant in large quantities, but it's mere presence in the air might make it a potential threat (by adhering to the plant somehow or something)... Does anybody have any info or input on this at all? I couldn't really find Rating: 5
