AFN Myth Busters 2017

[pop22]

oops! Sorry, didn't realize it had gotten offensive.

Thread is back open.

Several posts deleted (and no offense to anyone, just cleaning it up.)

@daggersstrain , you are thread banned from this thread. That means you can view it, but you can't reply to it. No one here appreciates the attitude you've shown today in here and that's not how we like to roll here bud. Go chill, go smoke, shit happens and we can start tomorrow fresh, at least in my book.

To the rest of you, no more about the back-and-forth please, let's go on with the myth busting and trying to have civil conversations while we do it. And let me part with this, civility is a choice. You choose to be shitty to be people or be nice to them. No one else does that for you.

Back to 'er!

That happened awhile ago I think. We cleaned up the majority, that's why it's probably not as evident/apparent

It's all about DLI.
So saying 17.5 is optimal, it's simply not true without other variabilities.

I wish I could find, and yes other variables are invovled... temp nutes etc.
The study was out of Europe And was on hydro... basically the system which is computer automated and adjusted the other the variables based on photo intake
What they concluded was at optimal conditions or the conditions they had17.5 was where the plants started showing no more progress
In my search as I most often do I started an article on seed germination and got sidetrack
I by no means state that this law or anything just info I found
I still believe in doing what works for you and personally I'm forever refining and searching for what might help my grow
Love the discussion can't wait (another month or so) to start my first auto grow.
Been doin stealth photo for years now.

Don't think that study was done specifically for cannabis

Originally no
I believe the initial study was on some type of pepper
The cannabis study was well after
Pre 2010 if I recall correctly
Just some food for thought

Yes, just because no increase in productivity (whatever was actually measured) was seen at more than about 18 hours/day does not mean that potency (THC content) or other aspects of cannabis quality (in terms of consumption) improved.

Hey guys! OK! Me and a bud use completely different methods pretty much throughout the full cycle. We bounce off each other, throwing new and if anything insane ideas around to improve and better our grow skills. It is a healthy competition, but I think that only a little training and the odd nip and tuck is really all the plant needs. Anyway! He swears by a little 'secret method' which I believe HAS to be doing more harm than good. So here is the big secret... he is a guy who applies the potting on method BUT when it comes to the final pot he will pot the plant an inch lower into the new pot with the belief that it helps in strength and growth. Surely that would stunt growth and increase the chance of rotting the stem?! Not exactly sure if my very drawn out question warrants as myth busting material but the story of how he picked up this method has certainly aroused my curiosity! If I have posted this in the wrong thread I apologise. I'm new to afn

Wow the was long... sorry guys

It seems that some strains of cannabis, like tomatoes, will sprout new roots from the buried stem. Some will not and have issues. I routinely, simply from not being fussy during a transplant, bury part of the stem with no ill effect. However, it has no bearing on how well the grow or produce. Pot size matters!

Hey pops! Thank you for the reply my man. Well that's interesting! I honestly thought it would stress the plant in some way. I guess it's the same old each strain is different scenario. He does still produce bud (never as much as me mind) without a definative answer as to why he doesn't get as much as me even though we generally use the same strains. But again different methods and techniques, light etc etc. Still, good to finally have a reputable opinion on the matter as once he reaches final potting I become nervous for his girls one last question for you Bro... when you say out of not being fussy you tend to bury a bit of the stem too, have you ever experienced the ill effects that can potentially happen and if so what were those effects? And if the stem does grow new roots from the buried part would that not be good for growth? More roots to feed the plant. Again sorry for the long reply and probably silly questions! This has been an ongoing debate for some time now!
