You're forgetting a minor detail. lol
Over the course of a 10 week flower cycle, the moon waxes and wanes a few times....the light is never consistent. Not unlike some guy who notices a pinhole in his room and patches it up after a few weeks.
Face it folks, genetics play the role of hermies...not pinhole light leaks.
At least some peoples theory of under watering is plausible...
The plant thinks it's going to die and herms to continue it's genes....
It sounds like your saying that by surviving spidermites a plant will have offspring that are more resistant to spidermites than they would have been if the parent had never encountered spidermites.
All this talk of moonlight... moon is not bright it is a reflection. It is less than a 6 watt bulb 25 ft away. Full moon on a clear night is 1.0 lux maximum. One lux is equal to ONE LUMEN per square metre or.......
1 lx = 1 lm/m2 = 1 cd·sr·m–2. Maybe most plants have a natural tolerance to this amount of light.
I'd like to hear someone like Spurr touch on this...
There is no described mechanism for any plant to quantify variations in gravity , the difference is tiny between nearest and most distant lunar approach .
it's not for fun, it's the way it's always been done until recently when everyone just got a
1.) tent
2.) 400/600/1000
3.) nutes got cheaper to the point where people can actually afford a whole biobiz line and not be a mersh dealer.
4.) came to the latest "i'm bout to do it big with these clones" thread
5.) got a kut of whatever west koast wonder...plant was most popular at the time.
then all you had to do was follow whatever the last guy did and copy his results. no learning experience gained.
then later you get nannered up plants (not singling anyone out btw) and can't figure out what could be the cause.
it's mostly weak genes, cookie cutter perfect environments don't stress your plants like in the wild. the next generation doesn't have anything to fight against and get better, just actually weakens. like an immune system in a sterile environment. it's the fight that brings out the winners.
if it makes it through my version of plant hell and is still stable and awesome smoke, then it's a keeper. plus the next generation from the seeds i made will be able to tolerate all the shit i put em through better. SOTF.
