Growing MJ in zero gravity?

[Ze w33d Farm3r]

I had a chong the other day and pondered to myself...Is it possible to grow cannabis sufficiently enough in zero G and how would it react and behave it that sort of environment. If done right i think u can have a vast quantity of cannabis gorwing in a small like greenhouse but i also thought would just having like a metal halide over the plant the just grow very tall and spindly or what. Or would just norm rules on earth just apply to zero G? anybody else care to shed an idea or two on this?

that would be super sick. weed in space!!!!!! hahahaha, you must be pretty high on MJ. i don't think pot is illegal in space. yeah, im going to space! thats what im going to do tomorrow. im going to build a space ship and grow bud in space. ill also go to the moon and grow some good bud there too. yeah, right on!

Wouldnt work, the geotropism that tells the root to dig 'down' and the stem to shoot 'up' rely on gravity and without gravity the plant would refuse to grow.

well good point but i do remember bout nasa do an experiment on growing plants work alright with few mishaps here or there so there is a possibility...unless however you germinate the seeds in a centrifugal chamber inducing a artificial gravity to get everything sorted out then migrate them to zero G.

What happens to weed once it has adapted to and is grown at very very high altitudes?

Ah TTBoi now growing bud on the moon may have som major advantages with less gravity. Posiblity of producing much bigger buds with less chance of the plant itself collapsing. only drawback is the water and nutrients it will need in order to survive as well.

You know centrifugal chamber and artificial gravity are only in movies , although the concept of them works in theory.
And yes once the seed had germinated you could grow them in zero gravity but they wouldnt produce as much resin i wouldnt think as resin production is a result of stress on a plant (well partly due to it) ans in zero gravity there wouldnt be much stress on it. But it could work... someone should try it .

lol okay maniac you got me there! well someone should try it and although a centrifulgal chamber/artificial gravity in theory should work but the cost of buld such a contraption would be...well too much! but again it would be nice if some uber rich person just decides:

"Hey i know, lets go into space and grow weed. Should be fun!"

You move it to very low altitudes and it will addapt to them , at very high altitudes there is less CO2 and less O2 and generaly the temp is lower so there would be less resperation and less photosynthisis and less THC production.

hahaha
"what you gonna do today bob?"
"well i was thinking about inventing artifitial gravity so i could grow weed in outer space"
