Its the way the world operates at the present time. Considering it's the only way to get quality beans from most everyone, I definitely don't mind paying when I got it to pay with. Also considering the fire which is attained on this end from those beans, very small price to pay.
Do you have pictures of any Vietnamese sativas? How good is it compared to name brand strains?

Ive got some, will dig up in a while and post here. I dont find the taste is there as most farmers here dont know what drying is or they dont have a chance to properly dry before passing it on. Ive found a couple in 10 years time here which tasted nice. The stone is definitely up there, and some will still fck me up after 10 years of smoking it like a heavy cigarette smoker smokes cigs.

Ill correct myself. I guess the article would be right. The article was talking about ripening. I was referring to flower onset.
Parthenocarpy to be more precise. Presumably, it only happens in late flowering. Maybe a certain number of hours for the last little while will produce maximum calyx swelling, possibly 9.

Are they heavily interbred with Thailand and Cambodian Sativa's like Australian's have been? (Australia's seem to be a blend of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand strains.) or have they remained largely uncorrupted?

What happened Church, you spent last night trollin White ? I feel left out 8)

Perhaps this quote from one of my cult members will help ya get back in your groove tonight ,,,,,,,

"Thanks Ring! I have really enjoyed seeing things progress...Learning the differences in autos compared to reggie beans, reading plants, light cycles....It all makes sense... and seems so simple now...

Honestly, Im just following the game-plan as laid out by @RM3 and practiced by my fellow Riddlerz...When you have all the tools, a knowledge repository like we do, and enough knowledge to be dangerous... the plants damn near grow themselves. IVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY TRICHS... On top/bottom of ALL sugar leaves...all the way down to the bottom buds... just wow.

"Humble in victory, humble in defeat"... These last few grows have been victorious...but I cant take the credit... Im a mere journeyman in this cannabis lifestyle... but I am learning from the masters."

Actually he didn't. I was responding to the pics that was put up and said it was ttystick. Church liked the post.

I just said that for the person to post that and church to like shows them to be shallow people that would judge someone by their looks. I went to say that even if that photo was of you or ttystick I would still shake either ones hand, drink a beer and smoke some with you guys.

Today we're gonna talk about why I want to mix LED with T5, but it is also about so many folks that think the 1, 3, or 5 watt leds are crap?
And to demonstrate this very cool phenomenon we're gonna visit my cloning tray

The first pic shows it in action, the clones are rooted and growing and are 3 to 5 inches tall. The lights are a 15 watt T8 2700K and a 23 rated watts led with 15, 1 watt diodes. The T8 is 10 to 12 inches off the canopy depending on point of reference. The led is a tad over 2 feet off the canopy and is a blurple led with 10 red, 4 blue and 1 UV diodes. (2nd pic)
