Harmful maybe but I imagine a plants lethal exposure would be pretty difficult to produce... they don't have organs so a lethal dose to you and I us probably nothing much to dope plants

It´s called Phytoremediation if you want to search for it....

Here´s an interesting article about the use of Cannabis, Maize and Brassica in Chernobyl on the Sensi site:

Interesting read. My Grandfather was in the AF and participated in the testing. I remember being a little guy up at the cabin and he pulls out these goggles and tells me that he wore them while watching an atomic device detonate. It literally blew my mind.

He is still doing well and is in his mid 80's and participates in ongoing VA testing to monitor the long term affects of his exposure.

This thread reminds me I should chat with him more about the subject.

Does it glow in the dark or just the dank?

There are signs on the island that say something like "Not To Be Inhabited for 10,000 years" or something crazy like that, who knows who will read these signs in 10,000 years?

Also I recall one report of sharks with an extra fin, and there was a population of these sharks, but they had stabilized and seemed to be doing ok, they just had an extra fin.

The Marshall Islands is the common name for this land mass. Apparently it is quite beautiful there now and the flora and fauna have recovered from the effects of the test.

I hear the same thing about other nuclear zones in various countries around the world.

kind regards from guineapig

if a previous crop cycled, the seed could have been buried. i don't think under ground temperatures raise much unless it is real close to the blast. i guess the pioneers of the marshall islands didn't smoke pot though. also i found this image.

Radioactivity from Uranium and Plutonium is too strong if you wish to get some
"positive" mutation inside plant traits..

If you wish to get plants that are treated with radioactivity than you need to look
in U.S.A. Pacific Coast line that was get and still getting plume from Fukushima Daiichi,

those outdoor buds are first on a plume way(beside Hawaii) so as bioacumulation progress in tissues
and Cannabis have a 6 month outdoor ciclus there are big possibility that those
plants absorb a lot of Fuku radiactivity.

Problem with Fukushima is that coriums are still burning deep in a ground and underground waters washing those huge radiactivity inside Pacific Ocean,

so Pacific will be "Death Sea" very soon.... and there are already huge die offs of
different species.

Also need to add that mass media dont cover this catastrophical event properly at all...
people are keeped in a dark with informations..,and i think on Fuku radiactivity plume that hits more than 4 years that shores.

I dont belive that ignoring a problem made him to dissapear...,and Fukushima is
a biggest problem that World haves in this moment.

Enenews are best site for founding more data about Fukushima..

i don't get how every nuclear blast wasn't a nuclear disaster, if they all threw radioactive nuclei into the atmosphere and water. is it the cases where it doesn't mix everywhere the problem? does it all sink to the sediment layers in the sea? is it iodine131 mostly and that the aquatic biological absorption has no migrancy, with all organisms eating, excreting and living/dying in the same place? <---EDIT: i am not sure why i wrote this. stuff disperses, the radioactivity levels of the world / atmosphere rose slightly from above ground testing. hotspots make more problems with a steady source, like a leaking reactor. concentration in biological, stuff eats stuff systems, where there is concentration increases up the food chain and where there wouldn't be a spread out dispersal of the schools of fish (but it's the ocean. so probably it disperses over time) would be something i guess. if dolphins got fingers, i guess the world would eventually become a different place. blah blah blah, i can't delete this it's been quoted. whoo yeah dolphins in space! the coming age of Überdolphensch. you ever wonder if the leviathins from mass effect are real?

also, i am wondering,
is alpha particle radiation usefull for mutation, or the supposed gamma from the exited state, in alpha emitters after transmutation,
or is x-ray radiation more usefull. i think low amounts can have positive effects on growth.

also, i wonder what the difference between beta radiation and extremely high voltage/low amperage electrical circuits through plants. ok, i realized this as i typed it, the energy per electron would need to be really really high to equal electron volt of the beta discharge. but anyway, i wonder what some high voltage/low amperage static electricity would do for plant growth/health/evolution, seed germination... tesla soil


*i think low amounts can have positive effects on growth. i imagine lining a micro cabinet with rad max shielding or a castable shield,,or just lead plate, and running a light x-ray generator on the plants at regular intervals and capturing the photos on an electrnic system somehow every burst and also getting a timelapse x-ray movie from different angles as a secondary result of the experiments. i don't know how to make an electronic x-ray camera though. also, what if over generations the plant strain/s can be grown and bred in these conditions, with increasingly more and more radiation dose strength and/or radiation, to strengthen the genetics/plants so maybe they can survive space radiation? <---EDIT: i like this. actually i read that small amounts of x-rays stimulate plants in some way. i'd like to have a time lapse video in x-ray, but electronic film is needed because photo plates is mostly impractical.
