Show us the dumbest questions about pot you ever heard!!!!

[Space Toker]

Well I just got through the 1st 2 pages and partly into the third. At first, I thought this thread came off as arrogant or condescending. I mean, who HASN'T asked dumb questions, especially when just starting out? and to some "newbie" who sees all these forums within forums, pages and pages, it may seem overwhelming and impossible to find what you want in there, especially if you do have a life and have other things to do, and can't spend the next 6 months or 6 years reading every thread completely. I've been there, and wondered, "why can't they just answer my question, they had to take time to post this wiseass response so why not just take a little longer and answer the question if it is simple to answer in a sentence or two, or direct me to where I can find the answers without endless hunting?"

Now I can see how it may get irritating to keep answering the same questions all the time, but I still think making fun of people is not the way to go either. We've all been there. I will admit some of it was funny though!

But here are a few things I have to comment on:

for my indoor grow "arnet you worried the planes flyin over your house looking for pot will spot you?"

well they can if you have orange light visible in your backyard or they can spot heat leaking out in a strange way if they do a FLIR flyover.

i like: "what should i grow?"

or..."what's the best seed company?"

hehehe

well I admit that is one of those vague things that may be hard to answer, but I have asked similar questions.... and I think there are good, better, or ripoff seed places and I think people having an idea which is which before buying is a good idea. The problem is getting unbiased feedback or not being allowed to post such things because the site is owned by a seed company or doesn't want to "promote" that. But I think it is a fair question that should somehow be able to be answered somewhere.

I've heard people say that OD, a mj plant gives off a noticeable heat signature. That's how they find them when they're grouped together.

well not heat signature maybe, but each plant has its own distinct shade of green, some professor who had links to the USDA and taught a course on identifying plants based on aerial flyover told me that. And I think they can find them by looking for that, if that' s the only vegetation growing or if not well blended with various native foliage. The more kinds of plants around the better or so I hear.

I do agree that some of it might be funny (if that's your thing) or clue new people into not asking such questions before they ask and then wonder why everyone seems to pick on them.

hey Nomad---have you "watered" your entire grow (inside and out) with milk yet?? what other wild and funky substances have you used on your plants?

how many gallons of milk do you recommend that I use on my 5 gallon sized pots?

I was just wondering about the results of your experiment-because the last I looked foliar feeding is not the same? as watering--but maybe you foliar feed your roots??!!?? do you bury your sprayer or what??

do you have a "teaching moment" (with pictures) of your milk enhanced grows??both inside and out?

someone--somewhere told me that it does a body good??but you have to spray it on-according to that same guy

tried it yet? ps untighten your as* a little bit a bit pleeeeeeze

plenty of teaching moments at my grow thread.

just pointing out that about 80% of the people who post in this thread actually look more stupid than those they post stories about. That irony is the only funny part about this thread. And it is indeed very funny.

i gave a friend a few buds of my purple a few weeks ago....

The next morning he called me saying" Bro, why did you give me some fake purple bud?"

I said " what do you mean fake purple bud?"

He goes on to say" i left a bud by my sink, when i got it wet....all the purple started running down my sink......What did you use food coloring?"

I say" Are you f*cking kidding, come over take your bag, run it under water, if the water turns purple....ill give you my whole harvest!

He comes over and really believes the water is going to turn purple.....laughs when he ruins a 1/4 of dank on stupidity!

 

[nomaad]

sounds pretty stupid to allow him to do the test on a 1/4 when the same results could have been a accomplished with a single nug.

I love how half of you guys posting "dumbest questions ever" seem just _barely_ more informed than the person asking the question. Those who (think they) know just enough to shoot down the question seem to really get off on posting here. Funny when it turns out you're wrong.

Notice how none of the real gurus have any business here. Maybe a lot of you guys are visiting from the "Stoner Chat" forum or whatever it's called...

Not really a question but I was talking to a kid at a party (4 years ago) once that was convinced that his 1000wer was stronger then the sun. I talked with him for about ten minutes on the subject and there was no telling him different. I used the light levels at the equator to compare with the 1000w. He didn't understand why it mattered what part of the planet you're on. I asked him why plants got so big outside and he told me it was because they can "sense" the walls inside so they don't grow so big. According to him since the plants can tell they are outside they just "decide" to grow bigger. Saw him a few months ago and asked him if he still thought that 1000w was stronger then the sun. Some things will never change.

 

[nomaad]

frank... that maybe one of the first really dumb sounding people whose story has been told on this thread. and the idea that the 1000w is stronger than the sun isn't the dumb part... its the not being able to be talked out of it that's really lame.

 

[corkushy]

stronger then the sun hahaha? and I knocked out Tyson in his prime

Yeah some people just won't listen to reason.

There is actually some truth to the heat signature I believe. I read a side bar in High Times that explained how MJ has a certain chemical that reflects UV or something like that. Point is, it is very easy to pick up using the right type of equipment. I tried finding the article but cant. Maybe I threw out that magazine.


There are some questions or statements that are just laughable. I have a partner who to this day still swears that 1 60 watt bulb is going to remove all the humididty out of our drying room (drying 20 pounds), and that we can only leave the light on for 1 hour per day or the buds are ruined. This is the same guy who goes into a flower room when lights are off and turns on the fluros so he can look.

i got a guy that i dont think has ever grown telling me that cloning sucks because everytime you clone a plant it get weaker and weaker in potency and vigor and yeild... so after you clone it one or two times its no longer any good....

 

[JWP]

Ok back on track here... I'll admit something. My first question ever posted on OG was "I got some weed that smells like cucumbers, does anybody know what strain it is?" There you go, laugh all you want. That was a long time ago.

Yeah i posted a pic on OG of a HID light asking can i grow under this...

Turns out ya can

And even better.. I thought you could do somethin to the seeds to make all your plants female..

Now thats funnny, you wouldnt believe how many times people argue with me abt this.

i knew this one grower how thought he knew his shit and was very cockey about his setup and plants. so one day i suggest that he get some type of air cleaner, i think more specifically a carbon air scrubber, and he said...

no way man, those things take away all your buds smell.

Im still laughing..

i know this guy who grows hydroponicly,upside down so all the thc can get from the roots to ththe tops ,its the newton theary ....

My face is hurting from laughing

Sorry guys...this one is the worst....


From OG, when the donkeyhonker asked in a post:


Does this look like an 1/8th to you?

one of the dumbest questions i ever heard was the one that went like : "who supplies snnoop dog and dr dre" ROFL OMFG

plants need leaves to grow, asked by one of my grow partners once

 

[Philosophelon]

We have all held stupid beliefs and/or asked a few stupid questions in the early days of our careers -- some of us even generously passed that information on to others -- and if we have a sense of humor we can laugh at ourselves. I don't think this thread is about making fun of any individual, but rather to have a collective laugh (what else can we do?) about all the misinformation surrounding our favorite plant, and the silly mistakes we make when we are first starting out.

Here's a few from my early days so that everybody knows I'm not just laughing at everyone else (I didn't ask alot of questions, I mostly gave half-assed and sometimes terribly incorrect advice):

"If you add enough lime to your soilless mix, you don't even have to monitor your pH."
HAHAHAHA!!! when I think of my first grow, I still chuckle.

"If you run organic nutes, you can't over-fertilize and you don't need to flush at the end."
Mmmm... fish parts (crackle, crackle) and bat shit.

I almost forgot -- my first grow was in a small studio apartment (that I also lived in) -- and my landlord paid the electric bill!!! That and my apt smelled like rotting fish guts for a full week before I realized it was from the liquid fish I was dumping into my veg mix.

I still can't believe I didn't get arrested for my first grow. Beginner's luck I guess .
