What Gaia thinks about hydroponic culture?

One thing is growing outdoors and another very different is indoor growing.

Plants evolution to use better the envirovement where they grow. Plants have mecanism that react to envirovement. When we know the way those mecanisms work, we can deceive plants to do what we want. Indoor growing use this in very differents ways to improve yield.

Once we know what nutrients plants needs, we can apport them in its inorganic form directly, rather than use bacterias to break down organic nutrients. And this way allows us to grow plants faster and healthier.

Once we know how plants exchange CO2 and O2 with the air, and how they use them, we can enrich the ambient with CO2 and take advantage of a mecanism wich isnt designed for that. Sure if cannabis can choose, it prefer to use a C4 photosyntesis way. But, things of evolution, its a C3 plant, so 1500ppm of CO2 works very fine, although this level dont exist in open field in nature.

Once we know how cannabis females react when no pollen avalaible, we can take advantage of it and obtain sinsemilla with a far higher THC content. What Mother Nature thinks about growing for no seed? And about clones propagation?

Once we know how plants react to different photoperiods, we can take advantage of it, independent of how it works in nature. We can improve it.

There isnt any obligation of do it. But the aknowledge and the choice of using other ways than Nature must be free to any grower.

If a grower choose use normal soil, no any fertilizer, no foreign pesticides, let his plants pollenized, etc, for any reasons, its his/her choice, but its ridicolous he/she say everybody to do this way because "mommy nature" do this way.
nailed it on the head thats the truest shit spoke so far !!!!!!!!!!!
