Bored, need some activity... lets debate? Or trivia type questions.

[Minnesnowta]

Starting this thread because I'm sitting around bored, watching TV, and too lazy to continue working on my garden tonight. So basically... if there is any sort of topic/grow method/anything you'd like to debate to hear some different perspectives... post it here and I'll be sitting around ready to respond to you instantly, at least for a while tonight haha. Or if you have any tricky trivia type questions about cannabis or the cultivation of said plant, you could post those as well and I'll see how I do, or anyone else for that matter could try answering.


Hopefully there is some life out here this evening, I fear I might soon have to find the motivation to get up and be productive to end my boredum... and I just don't want that to happen tonight. I'll try to think of some sort of topics as well eventually and post them I suppose... perhaps I can come up with something creative during my 'space out' session.

Yes I would like someone to say ' brainstorm' with me about the pros and cons of an outdoor grow that could be grown like other row crops, perhaps trellised like grape vines. What do you think?

[Minnesnowta]

Interesting subject.. I'd have to say that the pros and cons to debate, would simply be the pros and cons to indoor gardening vs outdoor gardening. If you're going to grow outdoors and have the ability to grow using trellises to form a nice, wide, even, canopy to produce a monster yield... I can't see any problems with that haha, sounds like fun to me. The only problems I see with that is that you sound like you're talking about "farming", and thats a lot of work unless you've got helping hands all the time. If you can handle all the labor work of it and all that, then go for it, with a little fine tuning and practice you'll have a pretty insane garden, at least based on what I'm picturing in my mind. Other downside could be visibility. That intense of a grow outside would attract a variety of preditors, I would think, such as thieves and destructive rogue humanoids. Not to mention the legal aspects of it if you aren't growing in a legal state, under the guidelines laid out by your state government. I always forget that there is a large portion of the country where there is no such thing as medicinal marijuana programs or laws, and people live without ANY ability to legally obtain or produce their medicine.

Anyways... I'm sure I could think of some more on it after a while here but I'll start with that.

Of course the positives of these gardening styles you're talking about are focused around the yield and quantity of bud you'd harvest.. which could potentially be tremendous, haha. Also I know a lot of people don't like outdoor grown bud for some reason, or just like to think they don't like it.. but I believe outdoors can produce some of the best buds in the world.

Lemme know what you think about this stuff as well, I'd be interested to know more details about exactly what kind of garden setup you're thinking of.

Thanks 'snowta'. those are very good points, and yes, it is farming. We had 24 in one grow and 18 in another (all legal). It is some work keeping up on that many plants, but I must warn you all not to make the same mistake that we did. Don't try to do the Heinz 57 varieties thing and try to grow 17 different strains of weed. Every girl seemed to be doing something different all the time throughout the grow! Made for some head scratching I'll tell ya. The main reason that I'm thinking of going this way is that it's pretty low tech. Small trencher, long trench, amended soil etc. and then just water like grapes. The other benefit of this method is that the buds do get more even light and grow more uniformly and best of all you get to see your plant much better. As far as preditors go, had mites indoors before, so outside not too much of a down side. But I never had cut worms indoors! Damn why must they only eat the best buds! We do get visited by fly overs from the sheriff, we just wave. Thank God I live in a grow state. Have another question you could have good input on. I get the point of using clones (should be certain of sex and variety) but, we grew from seed 5 different strains about 12 plants and all of them outgrew all of the clones untill very late into veg growth. Do you think it was only that the seed grows had root systems designed by Mother nature or what? Anyway the grow I saw like this one did very well, was much easier to work with and best of all made some very very medicinal smoke.

Bored again on a friday night.... trivia time. I'll use a recent subject I dealt with for the question...


Scenerio is... Your plant which is grown in a quality organic soil is suffering some type of damaging stress factor on the leaves and you find out your soil runoff ph is too low at around 5.0, alkalinity is moderate/low at 40-80, and has a very high score in the water hardness catagory. What is the reason for this issue? And how would you go about fixing it?

All guesses are welcome, don't be shy. Honestly I think it might be a tough one for a lot of people to answer so don't feel bad. All the info you need to figure it out should be available here in my post unless I forgot something. If I did let me know, I tend to do that sometimes... can't figure out why, haha.

Enjoy! Feel free to post any other questions/scenerios for trivia type discussion. Who knows... there could be a prize involved.

Might be an easy one but here ya go: Why is it impossible for one to die from "over-dose" of marijuana, if there is such a thing? A physiological answer would be best.

[richardskinner]

And I have some random trivia: Where (location) are the smallest bones in the body?

[Minnesnowta]

Ear, and there are 3 of them.

Edit: Prize plz?

[richardskinner]

very nice, name them. and not their stupid nicknames(hammer, anvil and stirrup) try not to use the google-machine first. lol

[richardskinner]

Another one. Can you name the most common blood vessel used to perform a triple by-pass surgery? And how can they use a vein to repair an artery?

Hint: It's found below the waist.
