420 Institute w/Prof. Terpen

You only have to read the first two pages of this thread to see the warm welcome that Profterpen was given, and I can't see anywhere that he/she has claimed to know everything?

It seems like the self proclaimed 'experts' on here saw a threat from someone that might have a little more knowledge than them and went on the defensive.
 
I wonder where he got certified to tell stories like that. XD But no no, in all seriousness... call me Doctor Reemis from now on. But really, I'm just kidding. Professor Reemis will do just fine. xD But no really, welcome to RIU Prof/Doc. I'm sure you've already figured out by now that some of the most intelligent cannabis cultivators reside in this lovely domain.

Dear UncleRespecptmyrimnoise,

Was this your welcome post, on page two or was it the hehehehe on page one. One did welcome me but not you.
 
Welcome to Growing Cannabis, my name is Prof. Terpen and in this series I'm going to share with you my years of experience on everything from seed propagation to curing your final product. I've worked by other names in the past because of the legal climate surrounding medical marijuana but the weather is changing and I'm ready to share. Whether your a first time grower or a life long cultivator I hope what I have to share is informative and helps you produce a quality product.


"WEATHER" You want to believe or not.
 
The scientific method would be better served with a controlled experiment that proves this method is superior in some way.
 
I think we are a large enough community that we could get 100 members to do controlled studies on defoliation and prove or disprove the method. It would be the experiment to end all experiments. Growers everywhere would refer to it as the study that ended the debate on defoliation. We could call it the RIU controlled study on defoliation. We might even be given a Nobel Prize in botanical studies.
 
Energy use by the plant to repair the tips that were trimmed is very minor if the plant is healthy and your trimmings at the right stage of the plants life. I boil raw cane sugar (one gallon of water to one half pounds cane), for 45 minutes. Then strain with cheese clothe. Once all cane material is removed I ad one cup per gallon peroxide. Transfer water to ice trays. On the day of trimming I cut at the start of the day and when I'm done with clean up I place 3 ice cubes per gallon of soil every 4 hours for no more than 3 application. This does two things, first the peroxide helps kill any stray bacteria and it encourages the roots to process more oxygen. Secondly the boiled cane releases micro sugars and carbohydrates that are like super chargers for them pretty ladies.

Set the standards for the test.
 
Sugars benefit microbes in the soil, not the plants themselves. Plants have no use for sugar in any form. Adding sugar to benefit bacteria in soil will result in a population explosion of bacteria and fungi that in turn break down organic matter making basic nutrients available to plants assuming there is an adequate amount of organic matter to feed on. It's also important to use a water source without chlorine and chloramine as those agents kill bacteria. There are products available in aquarium stores that neutralize chlorine and chloramine. Keeping a healthy balance of life in soil is necessary for growing plants to their full potential. The idea that one can just add molasses like some kind of alchemist and grow great plants is somewhat misguided. Wouldn't you agree Professor?

Doesn't the peroxide kill all bacteria? I'm curious as to how just stray bacteria is affected.
