It's better to learn from them and then take it to the next level. That is what many have done after that was first written up about 10 years ago. If you assumed it was NEW; that was a major Assumption on your part. It's still very valid today and many have taken that approach and moved on to other methods as technology and our knowledge has grown and expanded.

Should I take it down because it's about 10 years old?
Hell no, Soma does deserve the respect that I and many others have given him. We have learned under him sometime ago and we too have gone beyond what Soma has started.
He is still a HUGE organic grower and I personally and way more experienced in man made nutrients and I prefer them. I learned the basic from Soma about 15 years ago from his writings and then many, many emails then at web sites when he started posting on the Internet.

If anyone is interested then they should spend MONEY on the subject and read and educate yourself. Just because others have done research does not mean it's free to the mass or should be. I am not going to rip off someone??s book and post everything here for FREE. I have a very large collection of papers and books on growing cannabis and I have read every one of them more then once. Some of them are tattered and marked up with yellow markers and post-it- notes.

Soma posted that himself a long time ago and I felt it was still valid today so I posted it here and gave him his due respect.

Attacking a 10 year old approach to making female seeds (that can still produce feminized seeds too btw.) is a little silly.

Hell do you pick on threads that are 5 years old and tell them they are nubies?
Hell no you don't so once again I will proudly stand by Soma and thank him for all the work he has done over the decades of research.

How many people still read and follow Clarks work and that is what 30 years old. Most of it has been expanded on and some of his conclusions have even been disproved too. Does that stop anyone from saying it's the best book ever written? Does that stop them from reading it or should it?
No, again it's a good place to start ones education but it's up to the person to continue on standing on the shoulders of others that have passed before him. Not to step on them; but to learn from them and continue on.

That's how it's done RESPECT.
"Attacking a 10 year old approach to making female seeds (that can still produce feminized seeds too btw.) is a little silly."

to take that as an attack, is silly.

without questioning long standing beliefs, we wouldn't have science. scientific knowledge has made the world a better place, (atleast for humans on the most part)

It is healthy to question in a respectable way. If no one questioned anything, where would be be? we would conform and believe things that are not true. someone will tell us it is blue, when we know it is red, and we will blindly believe it. while soma is respected, he has done nothing to earn my respect. I give it freely until otherwise.
