    What Is Bad Science?

    A scientific law is a law because it won't change; not subject to revision or alteration. Example: Mendelian genetics; the Punette Square: cross a homozygous dominant with another homozygous dominant a million times and you'll get the exact same result. A theory otoh, especially Darwin's...

    Science Vrs The Bible .... explain to me Gobeklitepe

    Not worth wasting my time on this kind of tripe. Bring verifiable references by verifiable authors not somebody who's only given credential is a Hotmail email address. I see no qualm between religion and evolution.

    Cheap LED Grow Light Reccomendations

    Sorry for reviving an old thread but have some info that might be helpful. I built my own led panels for cheap. They are just as effective as commercially sold ones, maybe a bit less efficient, but cost 10x less. Firstly, the internal components of the assembly are dirt cheap. Do some research...

    Anyone Use (plant) Growth Hormones?

    Well.. okay. But I meant more for like rapid/abnormal growth, longer than usual stem length, root expansion, senescence & abscission delaying. I want to know how the quality of the end product was affected, and if it resulted in higher yields.

    Anyone Use (plant) Growth Hormones?

    ..mainly, gibberellins or indoles- for stem-elongation, root development, fruit ripening, senescence inhibiting, or just general rapid growth?

    DMT... aliens or god? What is the 'presence'

    If anyone is interested in some science, Near-death experiences (of supernatural effects) have been theorized to be caused by the natural biosynthesis of DMT at skyrocketing concentrations.

    Tripping and driving

    There was this local college girl who done coke and drove 200km/h for ~45km on the highway on the wrong side of the road AGAINST traffic. But it was late after midnight so much less traffic, but still, I think you gotta be really outta your senses to achieve that and survive.

    Science Vrs The Bible .... explain to me Gobeklitepe

    Its a copy/paste from one of those hate forums "answering-(insert religion here)". There are so many inconsistencies in that article that I don't where to begin. The author, Dr. Lacantius, who claims to be a practising doctor, apparently has no biography or profile or any credentials available...

    Science Vrs The Bible .... explain to me Gobeklitepe

    To make such a big contention (or assumption), I'm guessing you are educated (academically) in both science and theology because you claim to know all the elements of both subjects hence can give out the statement "..never a single proof of any miracle". With that said, I'd like to know why the...

    Science Vrs The Bible .... explain to me Gobeklitepe

    I have my own theory on science v religion in that religious Scriptures are misinterpreted and what should not be is taken literally. You can find the solution to this quagmire in well-written age old philosophies by the likes of Rousseau, St. Thomas Aquinas, Nietzsche (Catholics beware of this...

    Hydroponics

    What's the most basic, cheapest (but decent) hydroponic system? I saw this YouTube video where a guy built one with literally house hold items, under the cost of $40. I don't even know what kind it was, definitely not ebb&Flo.

    Can all seed's be germinated in cups of water, or paper towel method?

    Try germinating a dormant P.edulis (bamboo) seed. You might have to wait 600 years before it sprouts. The answer is: NO. Paper towel alone will not germinate most dormant seeds. You'd have to break the dormancy first, for example, by treating seeds with different chemicals or growth...

    Spinach and lettuce with hydro? And or soil?

    You mean suspended in mid air? Try aeroponics. I've no experience in aeroponics but my guess is that the seed will not germinate in air alone, unless treated with an iron sulfate or gibberellic acid solution.

    how tall under 400w?

    Indole-3-acetic aspartic acid, made in water solution at 100ppm and sprayed at the base of the plant causes rapid root growth in terms of girth in the Rosales order of flowering plants. You can purchase it on eBay or alibaba for a pretty reasonable price (10g for $15 maybe). It falls under the...

    400W MH - how high to place over plant?

    I had sensed some error in his logic as well, but just wanted to make sure. Since I don't know much about electronics, didn't want to take any risk. I read numerous times on this forum of people using 400, 600+ mh at close range so I wasn't exactly sure. My budget is low and can't afford any...

    400W MH - how high to place over plant?

    I got a 400 watt metal halide lamp, reflector, and ballast. Got an electrician friend to wire it all up but he said that these are fixed 30 feet high or else they will burn through objects or something. I was of the opinion that these would be placed at max 5 feet above a plant. He said it'll...

    What Is Bad Science?

    Bad science is when you have people treating scientific theories like scientific laws, as such is the case with the theory of evolution in contrast to the law of mass conservation. Next, a theory is a good theory if it is testable, experimentally replicatable. But keep in mind, a theory is not...

    botany minor

    Hi guys, I'm a student studying life sciences, with a minor in botany. I'm currently experimenting on growth rates of different plants but because my lab has limited space, I've had to grow some plants indoor in my basement. Setting up this artificial environment, every time I Google for...
