Well the best way to learn is by doing it your self trial and error

btw...a hot spot is a pocket of air in the grow room hotter than the rest caused by the reflective material not distributing the reflected light properly...not tiny little light lasers burning holes in your plants....

that couldn't be further from the truth. A hot spot is a wrinkle in the reflective material causing a convex shape that focuses the light. It is no different than using a magnifying glass to burn wood.

Common sense dictates using a ventilation system of some type...how can you get hot "air pockets" with air constantly moving?

THIS is what I mean be retards spreading rumors...I don't mean everyone is a tard...just the people who believe in something totally wrong and spread the incorrect information.

Myth: Mylar is superior to flat white paint

Fact: Flat white Paint is superior to mylar except under optimal conditions, and even still it has so many drawbacks it fails to be worth the tiny tiny tiny reflective gain over paint.

Unless you pull mylar perfectly tight so it's not all wrinkled it isn't even better brand new and perfectly clean.

Then part of the problem with mylar is that is gets so dirty so quick and easy and is difficult to clean up to say the least so many don't keep it clean often enough to truly keep it better than paint.

Because mylar provides a space for critters to breed and hide from your sprays, it's not worth it.

Because mylar blocks airflow it can trap moisture between itself and the walls of your grow. It can actually encourage mold issues because of that and the fact you aren't getting behind it to clean and disinfect as often as you should.

With paint, it's very easy to slap on a fresh coat at any time, between every couple grows or whenever needed, and that fresh coat is a great way to not only keep your grow as EVENLY reflective as possible but seal in any spores, fungus, mold, whatever that might have escaped your cleaning. It is easier to repaint than it is to disinfect and clean a room with mylar by a large margin.

White paint can never hotspot, period. Your growth will be more even in the room provided your lights are arranged well.

The ideal paint (or at least one of them) is Behr Ultra Pure White flat wall paint. Never use a gloss, and be careful of anything other than a paint made to be this pure white. Paints that aren't perfectly pure white will not reflect the spectrums of light you are using properly, and could turn usable light into unusable light just by skewing the color even the slightest amount.

a so-so post. yea Mylar isn't THAT superior but plain ol every day flat white paint isn't in the same ball park with good reflective materials.

Getting dirty? What makes you think a painted surface doesn't get as dirty? I'm guessing it's because you can't SEE the dirt that you think it's not as dirty. Truth is, it doesn't matter what you use, it gets dirty at the same rate.

Flat paint? No, you should at least use an egg shell sheen. If you are using floros you should use a high gloss if possible.

If you want to use paint at all, buy a premium brand of roof coating (Cool Seal) which reflects about 95% of all light.

The problem with flat white paint is it reflects less than 70% of all light (key word here is ALL as the light you and I see is useless to plants). In reality, the thermal blankets (sold at most sporting goods stores in the camping section for $2.00) or the mirror like gift wrap reflect roughly 80% and are superior to flat white paint. I strongly suggest you only use these if you are using floros however.

Where I agree with this poster is I would take paint over mylar with HID lights. Where a wrinkle could cause a "hot spot" a painted surface won't.

Again I apologize for all the "retard" comments. I hate when I hear (on a forum or in real life) "I just read xxx is true dude! You should be doing that!" People don't take the time to find out the guy that posted xxx is a retard...and they become a retard as well for spreading the...well....tardness!

fact- no it is not dont piss on em either

Actually urine is a great fert. It's sterile as well. Very high in Nitrogen, but the problem is it's too strong and as it decays it invites bacteria that wouldn't normally be attracted to your soil. Unless you have a perfect environment, I wouldn't recommend it either.

Panhead you nailed the fert myth to a tee as well the soil myth, Miracle grow moisture control potting soil works great. The fancy soil comps let you read about their super scientists and the studies they have done in order to make these claims about formulation and blah blah blah, I mean what the F#$%K do you think miracle grow has some no brain idiots stuffing their potting soil bags with what ever they can get their hands on, they have been around a long time and have been putting excellent as well as inexpensive soil mixes out for a long time.
Myth:Superthrive is a fertilizer. no it is a very well formulated mix of 50 trace elements and minerals that most fertilizers are lacking.

Oh yes he is like that,

a hot spot is where the fugly ones want it.

BUDS grow on the stems......not on the roots , but it takes the proper amount of each to do it right,spray Elanors VF-11 15-85-55 on your buds and they will get fat and keep producing buds on top of buds. It is non-toxic and totally ph balanced, not to mention inexpensive

I have hallucianated patterns and colors while making large quantities of butter over a few day period. Nothing better than a stove with two huge kettels boiling , then simmering leaves and stems for two or three days straight for a real strong head high. Of course the butter is damn good when complete . This also proves that leaves have quality thc content.

apparently this is Fact rather than Myth... which surprises me... that 'Marijuana is the only gendered / sexual' annual plant? can anyone elaborate on this? this seems very very bizarre. so are there gendered non-anuals? are there gendered trees? or wtf?

i'm also really taken with the idea (and i've read a bit on this lately) that marijuana may have developed a symbiotic or mutually beneficial relationship with mankind. this viewpoint suggests that THC production is, actually, the plants offering to another species (us) so that we will further propagate it. (Like nectar for the bees, i guess.)

Cousin Humulus Lupulus (hops) are also gendered/sexual. Most flowering plants have both pistils and stamen.

And we have cannabinoid receptors in our brains!

stupid thread. Ive read about thirty erroneous statements. the fact that its called a myth busting thread just helped all these fresh myths to pop up. lolz.

you say that now but wait till you have put 10 weeks of your time,money,risk,love into those girls just to have them yield a half oz of some bud you wouldn't pay for. it really helps to see someone do it first,if you don't have the convenience of having someone to show you, then dvds are your only hope besides reading.
i personally would rather learn from other peoples mistakes and successes

"THIS is what I mean be retards spreading rumors...I don't mean everyone is a tard...just the people who believe in something totally wrong and spread the incorrect information."

i am a young father of 1 and i think that you have offended me more on a personal level than with trying to tell experienced growers that what you read in a book somewhere is more credible than what they have seen with there own eyes considering that u are on your 1st grow and that you say u got a pound of bud off a plant using floros i find anything that u say skeptical.

but back to my original point almost everybody has somebody in there life that has disabilities,that person in my life is my daughter,she has cerebral palsy from the cord getting wrapped around her neck at birth, or "retard" as u so elegantly put it. people throw words like that around like its nothing! i used to say them to when i was in grade school. if anything i would wish you could understand and refrain from offending me further.

Sorry HOHO but if you're coming to a mj forum looking for politically correct people, you will probably find many more frustrations than someone using the word retard. Sorry if you don't like the word, don't use it youself either. When other's do however, get over it. It's just a word.

Yeah like straight up liars! Still working for investors looking to put money into a cannabis forum? Or how about getting a pound per plant (wet) using fluorescent lighting? This isn't a nice chicks thread so I am not going to be as nice here I really doubt you are even old enough to be on here, much less to pop in and tell HOHO to "get over it" At least you didn't make up some blatant b.s. here, so I guess I should cut you some slack

Myth: no one has ever died from smoking marijuana

Fact: Researchers in Boston have found that the risk of a heart attack goes up nearly five times in the first hour after smoking a joint.



Another catch in the research is that it is based on interviews with people who have just survived heart attacks, and does not look at the relative cardiac health of cannabis smokers versus non-users in the population as a whole.
Of the 3,882 interviewees, only 3% admitted to having used cannabis in the year before their heart attack, and only 0.2% - nine people - smoked it in the hour before.
On the basis of this small sample, the Boston scientists concluded that in the hour after smoking a joint the relative risk of a heart attack increased by 4.8 times.

Do you have a link to the article, is it in a peer reviewed journal like JAMA? Who funded the side project of this research. It sounds like very bad science. To try to gleen anything out of two tenths of one percent and to try and correlate this to anything is at best irresponsible. I bet more people were constipated in the hour before their heart attack! Cheese kills!
I am not shooting the messenger by the way!
