Live Stoner Chat What would you do

[Arthur]

Valid points yes. Although I dont think all of government is corrupt. Im not trying to be hypertensive or anything I just try not stereotype. There are those type out there that would sell their souls

There's a lot more out there willing to sell YOUR soul.

I could have written my guides and kept them all private, only for sale....screw that. To make the world a better place, sometimes we have to give. That's not to say i wouldn't take cash if offered, but not if it meant I couldn't also share the information with the masses. The people i want to help the most, have no extra money.

I thank you...and all those that contribute both freely and for fee. Takes all types to keep the world turning

Without a doubt

well first off, I don't really believe such a technique exists. at least, not that extreme.

if no one is doing it, there's probably a good reason.
either it's a valid technique, based on solid science, and in that case the knowledge is publicly available, and you won't be the only one in the world doing it.
ofcourse there's still a step between reading a paper and getting it to work in practice, but more p[eople will be reading that same paper, connecting the dots and bringing it in practice. you wouldn't be able to keep the knowledge secret, only difference you would make is that by helping those other people you can get them to skip trough the practice-step much quicker, but without your help they would eventually achieve your level too.
if there is solid science behind it and it's proven to have an effect but still no one is doing it, it's probably difficult or expensive to bring in practice. and/or everyone is shying away from being that first adopter who has the make all the practical errors before getting it right.

or it's not based on solid science, and it's probably just a stoner/gardenermyth that doesn't actually work, if you would test it well(high enough numbers, control group, identical environment, clones to remove genetic variation, good data analysis, etc).

but if I would be in that situation, I would share it.
I love growing weed. way more than I love smoking it(and now I've discovered breeding, the fun only increases). and I like to get more people enthusiastic about this great hobby. they'll have a new fun hobby, and I have more people to talk with about growing/an extra talksubject when hanging out. win-win.
I'm already sharing seeds and knowledge with friends who show interest. they're all just growing behind a windowsill, so I've warned them that they're probably not getting anything worth harvesting, but I'm happy to give them some free seed and tips so they can get enthusiastic about this great plant. and maybe some of them will start growing more seriously. after all, most growers started with 1 tiny plant behind a window, or a bagseed thrown away into the backyard.

 

[AutoWonders]

This is a hypothetical question. Lets say you came across a never known before technique that would be easy for anyone else to adapt to their grow and increase quality and quantity. Would you share that knowledge freely, sell it, or keep it to yourself and be the envy of all growers?
Rest assure its hypothetical im not sitting on any great secrets

I would be happy to share, but AFN peeps get first shot for a 2 year window, then I would go wider.

Two types of people are connected with weed.
Those that love the plant, and want it spread freely for the benifit of all.
Then there are those who are in the community for a different kind of green.
I am a deplorable stoner, if I can spare it, it's yours.

The second type needs to be driven from our midst.

Nothing wrong with making a living, but I've been in the community for 35 yrs, mostly underground. Make it a felony I'll still be here. Now all I see is rich pussy punks, jumping in to get as much cash out of canna as they can, now that it's "legal". They wernt willing to be here in the dark times then fuck them.

You hit the nail on the head man! Couldn't agree more! This new age of young wealthy stoners using it as a status symbol and to be trendy, does my nut in!

"Not for a weed free country or continent, but for a weed free world. Unite and grow, for a better, kinder planet."

I agree with you on principal .. knowledge should be free for if it doesnt spread, it can vanish ..., but, no one feeds the inventor for free.. so why choose this OR that .. this AND that is better .. I would patent it, sell it off to some big cannabis corp for a very healthy life long royalty .. purchase myself a yacht .. and grow deck full o weed touring the ocean high !

Two types of people are connected with weed.

I just heard a radio add that says "Government and private liquor stores have the best record of not selling to minors. We are already set up to sell safely." etc

I am pissed. Really pissed. Big money builds factory style farms that produce "standardized" pot. People wanting advice will be asking clerks who don't know and might not even care.

Really nice people with decades of expertise will close down. People who test everything and have always turned minors away. A network of dedicated growers who care about the plant will be driven underground. People will no longer have a reliable source of information.

This has to be stopped!
