Growing MJ in zero gravity?

Wrong, UV levels are pretty much the same no matter what your altitude is, they dont release energy untill they hit something, so why would they get weaker the further they travel.
As i pointed out about they would grow worse due to the lack of CO2.

Bro, science and problem solving are my specialty. I can back up what I say with various links and quotes so watch it. Booyah. :dance: :thumbsup:

And a little quote from my man Ed Rosenthal:

UV-B light changes the quality of the bud. Andecdotally, buds grown at high altitude are considered to be better quality that lowland products. The difference in conditions between these locations is the amount of UV-B light they recieve. It is filtered out by the atmosphere so it is more intense at higher altitudes than at lower.

The quality of UV-B will greatly out way the lack of CO2.
As Brian off of Family Guy would say:

Brian: I don't want to say "I told you so", but... YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! IN YOUR ****ING FACE! IN YOUR ****ING FACE!!! ... I am so sorry...

I think that you confused UV-B (which determines the quality of THC) with UV-A (which doesn't). But you were right about UV-A levels staying pretty much the same no matter of what altitude: http://www.meritcare.com/hwdb/showto...%29&sequence=1

Those first two links were useless! what has albenoism got to do with anything :S.

And i would say that quote's wrong too! UV (a and b) start from the sun by the time they get to the earth there still as strong as when they left the sun (well a little less due to reflection and heat loss to objects in it's path. so from the time it takes going even up to 7km, how much energy could it possibly lose! think about it! So maybe due to the light hitting particles of air it would lose a bit of energy but it is so minimal.
You shine even a weak UV light in pitch black and you can still see it up to 7 km aways!
Not everything you read on the internet is true, just use your common sence (and a little bio, chem and physics and uni level).

You must read them carefully because both support and contain info on what I am saying.

Dude, if they were just as strong...life on Earth would not be possible.

so from the time it takes going even up to 7km, how much energy could it possibly lose! think about it! So maybe due to the light hitting particles of air it would lose a bit of energy but it is so minimal.

Please rephrase. Up to 7km/what?

You shine even a weak UV light in pitch black and you can still see it up to 7 km aways!

UV is found in the bans between 300 and 400 nanometers. SO it's invisible to the human eye.

The quote from my previous post of Ed Rosenthal was taken from my book The Best of Ask Ed: Your Marijuana Questions Answered. My Biology/Chemistry book even backs what I say. And what I posted is common sense. Metaphorically what we are both debating about can be compared to ummmm...what's an example...Ok, which planet gets the most sunlight: Earth or Pluto? See?

Still there after 7km. And the highest mountains on earth are 7 km high so you couldnt physicly grow them any higher.

Something else i should point out, you are only taking in one factor, that is very variable! differant places on earth at different times have different UV levels! one thing consistant with altitude is CO2 and O2 levels, which would have a great affect on the plant, also the temp would play a hugh roll not to mentions the high winds. Come to think of it you couldnt grow plants at high alltitudeds at all without the help of man made devices.
And do you have any statistics that show the UVb light decreases dramaticly enough over 7km?

Wait, you are overexagerating what I'm trying to prove. I'm not saying one should grow there plant at such an altitude. I am only saying that one could yield a better quality resin (THC) at an higher altitude because this would expose cannabis to more UV-B. It wouldn't be very wise to take your plant soooooo high of an altitude (7km!? Not that high, bro!) because of lack of carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dude, I stated that in the second link, two posts ago. You must have didn't read it: http://zebu.uoregon.edu/text/UV

Again, the plants should not be grown at an altitude of 7km, it is too high of an altitude. I'm saying that an higher altitude plant grown (but not too high as to not provide that plant carbon dioxide, 7km c'mon) would yield better quality resin (THC) than a low landed plant, because the plant grown at an higher altitude would be exposed to more UV-B.

And do you have any statistics that show the UVb light decreases dramaticly enough over 7km?

Yeah, read some of the links carefully that I previously posted (you will find the info in there somewhere, I don't feel like quoting it) and ask any grower with experience and reliable knowledge whether cannabis grown at an higher altitude compared to a low altitude plant produced better quality resin (THC) or vice-versa.

[MullManiac]

None of the links i read showed this, they just stated what you have already told us.
Check out how tall mt everist is (not sure of the spelling)

What your realy saying is that the plants will grow more TCH on them with the more UVb they come into contact with. because no matter how much UVb light there with with the higher u go in altitud, the less healther the plants will be (within reason) and so the less THC they will produce. Other factors come into play with increased alltitude you know .

ps. Hey jude is sooo much more trippyer then i thought it was :rasta:

wow, gotta smoke after reading all that shit
