Let me just reply with many sciences, academics and former students undergrad or graduate will tamper with their research to achieve a certain result or deny a certain result.  My professors didn't tolerate such scientific research. 

Of course they will.  One only has to look at the global warming lolfest as a prime example of that.  However that has nothing at all to do with what I was referring to.

Your comments reminded me of a specific series of events back in the late 1990's, where pure science was being muddled by the usual looney leftists that infect a lot of higher learning.

The tenured professors studying and teaching their students 'cultural' and 'social' anthropology where teaching touchy-feely versions of what was basically marxist ideology and claiming it valid science.  Their use of terms such as "humanism" and "human condition" should be a clue as to the nonsense they were up to.

Well the archaeologists and physical anthropology (biology/genetics) factions were all like WTF we're scientists they are not.  Universities all over the place such as Duke. Columbia and Stanford then split their departments in two. The irrational factions were moved from the science department over into the humanities or liberal arts departments.

A number of the marxists teaching the bull crap got all butt hurt even going so far to let go of their tenure and move to an institution more accepting of leftist ideology.

If you search you will find a slew of news articles about the fights at the time.  Marxists make a lot of noise when they get salty.

And for that matter, I'm the third person in the world to photograph individual RBCs on archaeological butchering tools from a stratified, recorded site, and one photo shows an RBC in the opening of a dessicated blood vessel.  Most of which are more definitive then published photographs.  Although the research stopped with my thesis completion and its 16 years old, my major professor (respected American Anthropologist in both Prehistoric and Historic Archaeology) still wants me to submit it to American Antiquity.  You may be able to track it down by researching blood residue on stone tools, implements.   

Really interesting.  Although with a degree in science you shouldn't be so overwrought when someone presents you factual information.

I have an interest in the topic, but I don't eat it up to the degree I do physics and cosmology.  I have a greater overarching interest in the history of science itself which naturally arose from my interest in theology.  A general interest in history grew out of that.  My progression of interests went sort of like the following...

Theology->History of Science->Physics->Cosmology->American History->Politics

Sort of my own version of playing a game of Civilization I guess!  I'm very well read on all the above topics.

Only is one sense, its a variable, and not an exact.  Not much different then a statistic and it will vary by several variables.  The lights output will perform differently under given sets of circumstance.  I believe the proof is proved in the doing, not relying on pure math in this respect.  So, I'm getting a Sun System T5 Sun Blaze 44x4'.  And we shall see since I know what an HPS, 430 W, Agro-grow bulb will do under similar circumstances.

Here's a photo of the clones that I posted earlier on this thread.  These girls are growing right now under a 150 w CFL light, and as you can see there is minimal stretch under this medium.  Next week they are going under a T5 4' 6 light Sunblaze system.  These ladies will take off, and so wil a couple more that I've just potted from the initial rooting stage in the rockwooll plug.

As for the earlier discussion on color and it being indicative of cold temps, and that is only partially true.  I will refer the interested person to pages 92 and 93 in Marijuana Botany by Robert Connell Clarke.  Purple, resulting from anthocyanin  accumulations is the most common color in living cannabis other then green, pg 92.  Carotenoid pigments are largely responsible for the yellow, orange, red, and brown color. of cannabis.  they also begin to show in the leaves and calyxes of certain strains as the masking green chlorophyll color fades upon maturation, pg 93.

Those plants are under 12/12?  For how long?

Color not indicative of cold temps, but as a contra-indicator of chlorophyll regeneration/chloroplast death.  Exactly what I was telling you, and why I made the following recommendation.

Take a leaf and examine it under your jewelers loupe or microscope.  If it appears to be a solid dark green and not purple then you're fine.  If it still appears purple, then your plant is dying as I outlined above.

Those plants and two not shown are under light 24x7 right now and won't even be flowered for another month to six weeks.  Depends on my stash, and I still have some finishing.  

None are dying and eight are going into reveg as we speak in another larger shared grow room. and the leaflets on the clones are still coming out single then double and triple so, that's also indicative of regeneration from a flowering state, and all the new growth branching.  They should produce fat buds.

Here are the clones under the T5 Sunsystems SunBlaze 46, 4', 6 lights, 30,000 Lumens.  Its their first day under the new light system, and the two on the right are newer clones so they have some to go yet.  The system cost under $225 with the ratchet hangers.  It was purchased from a local shop where I get my nutrients, etc.  This set up will cost less the $20.00 a month in electricity.  Great for a closet set up as you can see.  Grow, grow, grow if you need your medicine.  Don't wait for the government to give you permission you don't need in a moral world.

After one week under the T5 46.  excellent growth and filling out.  Pretty dense with mucho grow/budding point.  A little nute stressed intentionally but now flushing and the yellow will disappear, and some of the yellow leaves are older leaves.
