Oxidation is a chemical reaction. Metabolism is two part: Primary and Secondary Metabolism. Removing Oxygen does not mean the THC can't be oxidized. Oxidation and reduction are the passing of electrons. Probably the only way to stop oxidation would be to reduce the Oxidation Reduction...

I would recommend the foliar feed only when transitioning to flower. The micronutrients are all your really concerned with. I would follow AN's recommendations. They do quite a bit of research. But, they also want to have as many product lines as possible. I would do a test if I were...

Nice grow competition... It's good to see everyone having fun. I might consider a competition later when everyone starts up again. I would love to try an air pumped, heated, soil grow I've been considering. If you allow multiple plants I might try an AeroBucket. In fact... I'm...

I don't think you are supposed to use it as a foliar spray. Unless you make the spray isotonic you will most likely damage the plant with a hypo/hypertonic solution. Use it in the soil if you have signs of deficiency. (I'm guessing your using soil) I would first check the soil pH: 1...

IMO... The roots will have some moisture that will slow the drying process. The root bound nutrients will not be beneficial as your plant will be transitioning into a catabolic state. There will not be a noticeable difference. You can perform your initial dry in a slightly higher humidity...

I think Hick is partially right. Security is our personally responsibility. That would include choosing the right forums to post in. I have put partial trust in MarP forums and administrators. There are always new threats that are emerging on a regular basis. Every piece of software is a...

You posted this in the growing threadz. You may want to look at HipIE's post in the cooking threadz. "Temperature THC breaks down at" He list temperatures for various cannabinoids. I would step through each of the various temperatures and see what you think of each of the various...

I'm not sure what the snap crackle and pop is from but I'm sure it could be from a few sources: 1. The flint from your lighter 2. The nitrogen containing compounds (understand the nitrating principle in manufacture of e*pl0s1ves) 3. Gas pockets These are just a few possibilities. I...

From what I was reading on this thread: http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40195 You could grow your plant directly on worm castings. I guess this should be true as they are salty and should not cause problems for the roots (if too salty you will have a problem with...

I would recommend beneficials and amendments. Here is a list of many beneficial organisms (and pests): hXXp://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/main/search_crop.htm#beneficial for some info on amendments see: hXXp://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/GARDEN/07235.html I would definately maintain...

You might try reading about sativa and hermies... It's not always a fem'd plant that will herm (which may be associated hormones and genetics). Also you have to consider the kayotype. Female - 18 Autosomes and X X Sex Chromosomes Female Intersex 18 Autosomes and x x (recessive) or 18...
