no I am not saying the scientists are wrong at all.....you also mentioned "controlled experiment"......Well, I am just imitating mother nature here and letting her do her thing and she seems to agree with me.

Water droplets act as magnifying glasses & cause your plants to burn? Wow, who knew?!

This should help to explain all the mysterious cases of spontaneous cannabis combustion. And Forest fires. I can almost imagine the future Smokey Bear posters which will be derived from this knowledge. roflmao.

Burn spots, not burst into flames. Unless the plant is already dead and dry, in which case I guess it could cause a forest fire.

"This is far from a trivial question," said biophysicist Gabor Horvath at Eotvos University in Budapest, Hungary. "The prevailing opinion is that forest fires can be sparked by intense sunlight focused by water drops on dried-out vegetation."

Really? Have you ever tried growing in 115 degree weather in the desert? Any water droplets are a big possibility of hotspots

Actually, yes and guess what, no magical burns or hot spots. It is a total and complete myth. Dude, to get a magnifying glass to work you have to hold it AWAY from whatever you are attempting to burn to focus the suns rays properly. A water droplet directly on a leaf will not focus the suns rays PLUS it will evaporate too quickly even IF it could magnify the suns rays and magically burn your precious plant.

This is some funny shit.

I hear if you piss on your plants during a full moon it will increase THC production by 30%.

the real trick is letting your cat poop in your soil, you'll see THC-A levels go sky high.

Yes this is a newb question and I obviously know the answer... but im trying to prove a point. If you spray leaves during full sun/heat can it concentrate the light and cause a burn spot?

Yes it causes a mirror effect.

The fact that some of you continue to argue even tho I provided several very legit links makes you look like an ass. How stubborn can you be? You say no even when facts are shoved in your face.
