why do people think the death of the boomers will make society better

[strongbad]

For the record, I'm a gardener who has grown a lot of things, hydroponically and not. Marijuana is called a weed because it grows like one--it needs a lot of real sun and real soil like every other weed.  It's the usual table vegetables that require special growing conditions to make sure they're tender; when they're grown like weeds, they get tough and intense. Hydroponics isn't the answer to growing anything intense.  If anything, it makes stuff less effective.

"In the 1970s and 80s, the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, was at 3.5 percent. Today, the THC found in most marijuana averages more than 7 percent. But specific techniques can skyrocket the amount of THC to as high as 27 percent.
The higher the THC gets, the more rapidly you deliver a large jolt of the active ingredient to the brain. Today's marijuana is much more powerful and much more addictive than it was a generation ago."


that was even a statement made in 2005 and since I began smoking weed (9 years ago) I have seen the quality of marijuana I smoke greatly increase. Although I used to just be a kid who smoked weed and now I work in the industry so that also has something to do w it. My dad smoked weed almost his entire life and when he smoked the weed my brothers and I would get, versus the weed he got that his friend grew outdoors he would get much more high... because the THC content was higher.

Interesting...but the quote you quoted is not attributed to a known expert. Your personal observation is of more consequence, although it's generally deemed to be "anecdotal". As a person who knows how to grow plants in general, and as a methodical cross-breeder, I do know that hydroponics has nothing to do with it.  In the same manner that a wide variety of heirloom tomatoes were selectively bred into existence, it makes more sense that such marijuana plants are the result of similar methodical cross-breeding/generational selection...which is why I used the term "cultivar" as term for the wild parent plant(s).

It takes two different cultivars to produce an F1 hybrid, also F2 hybrids. The non-hybrid variety requires multi-generational deliberate selection with two parents of the identical variety, and that's probably what happened to develop the high-potency plants...but...it also means that they're not wild, either, although may crossbreed with what grows wild.  Breeding carrots runs into the same problem: they'll cross-breed with Queen Anne's Lace and thus ruin the seed lot.

I don't think anyone's convincing anyone here

It doesn't matter on Boyah as long as there are lots of posts.  Good for the numbers.

Lots of posts come out of that, though, don't they?

Besides, what does a resident Boyah geek know about plant husbandry anyway?  
Not enough to know when somebody who knows what they're talking about actually does know what she's talking about.

Awfully haughty!

Truth tends to be haughty. Facts are unforgivingly haughty.

weed is murder (of your brain cells)

But it's so ineffective for the price. Alcohol is where it's at. Why would you get Brawny paper towels when you can get Bounty for the same price

i dont know enough about paper towels

[Classic]

I usually just get the Bog Lots brand of paper towels and toilet paper. They're cheaper.
