I'm just not sure that commenting on something which one hasn't read is fair

Don't forget that the only relevant part here is page 7 of chapter 6
 

But you have shown that your own mix of Miracle Grow with added calcium/trace elements is absolutely fine and produces good results, yet they were developed for garden plants and are almost certainly not aimed at cannabis.

Me, I use Phostrogen or Chempak and I have no complaints about them (even in a hydro medium such as coco), nor do I worry that they might not work with cannabis because they were designed for potatoes, tomaotoes, and lawns (etc.)

 

Missy

 

You came across all brusque simply because I stated that IMHO cannabis was different from tomatoes, legumes & whatever else it was that these tests were based on That was it, now you say it wouldn't be fair for me to comment until I have read the artical, fair enough.

 

I don't see you pulling anyone else up & instructing them to do the same, because other/s have posted after me

 

Naughty, naughty

 

 
 

I think I gave the reasoning why I selected those cheap nutes & the chempak #4 & yes they do work fine & yes all plants do indeed use the very same compounds in their growth & flowering/fruiting cycles, agreed What I was trying to get across was that they can use wildly different ratios of said compounds due to their wildly different growth patterns.

 

That makes them different As far as I'm concerned...

Is that a form of Burlesque?

Naughty, naughty 

 

Look closely, I got spanked already

 

 

 

anyroad, calm down calm down, this isn't a debate about the growth chamber handbook per se, and my Q covers just one simplistic aspect of things, and it's nothing to do with cans of worms lolz

Has anyone else, other than Budgie, commented on the content of that chapter of the Handbook?

As I said earlier...

I'm pretty sure that the basics of plant growth are fairly universal between species and that what works in one will generally work with others.

Sure, there will be variations within the boundary conditions and exceptions to the rules, but when it comes to stuff like photosynthesis, radiation, carbon dioxide, air movement, etc. it's all pretty much the same.

 
Much of that is irrelevant here though — This is specifically about airflow direction and its effects on the environment, and I suspect that there will be many similarities in those conditions in places where the vegetation forms a canopy.

Sure, the detail will differ, but the basics are likely to share a lot of common ground.

my Q covers just one simplistic aspect of things

 
I've been trying to steer it back on track

[Joe]

Last winter I extracted from the bottom, left the cf on the floor to keep heat in my tent, I grow in a tent in a shed. More than one person told me I shouldn't be doing that for proper airflow etc but me being me I ignored the advice and left it. Grow turned out fine

I'm calm, honestly

 

As for the burlesque I'd better keep my thoughts to myself

 

Ooops

 

Yeah I have been spanked a few times too, I think it's 3/1 to Missy at the moment, maybe 4/1 now
 

[MDS]

Alright lets be serious now

 

Missy you have obviously read this paper, I know we are discussing air movement now, but I do have a question that is pertinent to the situation

 

The plants being tested, were they in pots or in the ground?

 

I only ask because this will affect things Plants can be allowed to cool down quite a lot, but as long as the roots are kept at a reasonable temperature then they'll get back into action mode much faster when daylight hours commence.

 

As I'm sure you can understand if the plants were in pots then air moving past said pots will have a bearing on the results & I think 99% of us (barring guerilla growers) will have plants in pots too

 

So can you enlighten me please as I doubt that is in the air movement section & I have just given a very reasonable suggestion as to why it would be important, you have read it, please fill me in

 

Thank you.

Most of the stomata are on the underside of the leaf. You would think that an upwards draught would be better for transpiration.

I'm not sure there's a set rule for every groom.

There's actually very little in there about specific plants, and I'm not really interested in them either.

However, the information about how air moves above and below a canopy; the effect of the canopy on relative wind velocities at different heights; the humidity and temperature gradients that occur; the diurnal change in wind direction; and, yes, the effects that crowded pots have on air flow, is interesting and is, I think, pertinent to this discussion

Am I really that misunderstood?

I thought I was recommending something which I think is worth reading.
