to discuss and promote advanced cannabis botany and advanced growing techniques
please try to keep discussions on a civil basis and backed up by either research or actual evidence you have gathered
from growing
not old wifes tales and urban legends theres enough of that about already

Nice !! Excited to see this forum.

[VerdantGreen]

thanks oldpink, Gypsy and all who supported the idea

until tomorrow,

VG

[MrFista]

I support VG as a mod he's far saner than I will ever be.

Thanks for putting this forum here, you OFC guys think this is the right place for my plant biology notes? If so, please could someone review them for accuracy as they were part of a learning process - not a finshed article as such. And there's gaps to fill of course.

Also, want a bunch of char science?

An article kind of like

Water retention - reference

Crop increases - reference

Controlling pH - reference

etc. I'll just do it post by post breaking down the properties of char and the science supporting these.

I think we should be firm about references - anecdotal evidence and opinions only to support and discuss the underlying science - or this forum becomes yet another huge volume of anecdotal inaccuracies, old wives tales and meanderings.

Thoughts?

thx VG for bringing up this subject.....




and thx OP for making it happen



it would be nice to have threads where its locked for public posting, but a select few with botany degrees, or vast experience and knowledge would be able to write freely

that way the clutter would be cleaned up and we would know none of it was BS

[LIFEISGOOD]

Amen and happy growing!

great idea! defoliation, anyone?

[ShroomDr]

good luck gaining resolution with that thread. They remind me of Clinton asking what the definition of 'is' is.




Can we ask that other threads get moved here? Technically i guess i already did with my pm, but i was wondering if there would be a bit of a reorganization, bringing a bunch of these type threads here.


My thread What is the least amount of dark hours to keep 99% of plants in flower? isnt exactly advanced science, but it does highlight a few principles that seem to be forgotten because of the convenience of 12/12.

There is a decent thread on defoliation here:
Defoliation


I think the interesting part of this thread will be if we can get actual scientific work on here. Pictures and comparison stories are great, but it'd be great to get properly done experiments with identical environments (way harder than it sounds) as well as proper control groups and appropriately applied scientific method.

Can't wait to see what this place can stir up, woo hoo!

peace,

Cool idea for a forum. if its a success it will really set the bar a bit higher compared to other canna boards.
