Ok, all eyes are on me and I will end this post once and for all with my last post on this subject which will explain everything-
I never said I was a know it all, and never will be by any means... I know when I am wrong and have delt with it and accepted defeat at times (Like the fridge dormacy issue)... Neem oil will always be a good choice over any other chemicals for fungus. It is near impossible for microscopic spores to germinate with a layer of oil covering over it.
Regarding about the people and water situation, like I said in the beginning, all the fungus's would DIE before they had a chance to evolve, and same goes with my saying that people aren't able to breathe in water. Before they could evolve into a super human and have gills, the whole people population would be wiped out before the chance of evolving, heck you think I am a kid, but AP Biology wasn't taught for nothing. So Naja02 once again I have beated what you just said.
About researching my facts, again you have went back on the words you have said, I HAVE done research on Neem Oil and got my info from there, so do your RESEARCH before you speak.
Now about why my plants died during dormacy- it was BECAUSE of the Peat moss that I have used, still don't believe me? I will send out a sample of the sand that I collected Naja02. I sent some to Scotts to help with their improvment of their NEW peat moss on the market now.
So I ADMIT that I was wrong about fridge dormacy, and will definetly try it this season.
BTW, just to let you know, I would of still posted these posts even though I still went to school, it doesnt' take me that long to write these posts and I am always on here after school anyways after tennis practice...
The thing is you say that I am a know it all, but I have beaten you in every conversation we have had... Neem oil, it is extremly difficult for a fugi spore to build resistance to a product that can not be built a resistance too. The 2.00 VFT bulb thing, I am sure that he still made a profit out of the sale and you have even admitted to it too. In this post, it is a fact that if you have the right weather to house a VFT outside during dormacy do it, and is right. But if you have less then Ideal conditions or just plain lazy, then Fridge or some other method is not as good, but good if there is no other choice. I am sure that I am pretty right about that...
So you see I never think I am a now it all. If it is right then it is right! and I am not going to back down to say different just because some other people think so otherwise... Now regarding about Spec calling me a now it all, he himself was a little stuburn about certain issues and got banned from this forum for that. Any more remarks Naja02?
Now regarding about the PM, the purpose of them is to keep them private but since you brung it up on purpose to try to make me look like a bad guy I will make a long story short-
We baisically got in a argument on how Naja02 bought four extremely rare VFT cultivars that anyone would gladly pay double or even triple for it if they knew about them. Well, three out of the four died and the one is in ok conditions.
I happened to order the same plant (two of them) and one is growing like a WEED making close to 1" traps and the other, still growing decently but still in alittle stress.
Well, all I said was that buying four extra rare plants was going alittle too far when ordering them (I say two is enough), especially when not alot of people are growing it and it isn't lets say a begginners plant by all means. Then Naja02 said something about how economics came into play, but I held my ground and stated that you don't need to buy so many especially when other more experienced people who could of probably kept the other two alive, and bring their poplarity up making it available to MORE people and lowering the price of the whole Face value of Venus Flytrap cultvars in the future and available to less fortunate kids who don't have the money but have the KNOWLEDGE to grow these plants just as well as any other 40 year old who started growing them at the same time. Well, Naja02 still thought that it had to deal with economics and started rambleing on about how it was economics and how he had "Adult Responsibilities" , WOW, you are an adult... So WHAT! I have moms and dads that never complain about anything... I am just sick of how adults think they are better and treat little kids that have grown these plants just as long as the adult did like crap!
I don't see how that PM conversation is being a "Doing your Research before you speak" statement...?
And I never read the part about splinters in the eye...? in the PM's.
Still, before you judge someone, read the facts and if you DON'T have time to read because of your "Adult Responsibilities" keep your mouth quite and at least read the last few posts on this post which I mentioned but still you acuse...
There's no need to "Research" you. Your the same song over and over. Circular logic based on your own convenience and need. You jump from this to that and back again when the NEED suits YOU.
Arrrg... again you have said stuff that you have not known and just kinda guessing based on ONE persons comment!
BTW did you read this little blurb yet a few posts back?-
Ok, Naja02 if you read any of my other posts in the Venus Flytrap thread, you would know that I am a person who goes against the books. The only reason I wrote specific info based on Barry Rices site was to disprove ScottyChaos's information which contridicted most of what he said.
Now, here is what you said-
Circular logic based on your own convenience and need. You jump from this to that and back again when the NEED suits YOU. Maybe you should decide which side of your mouth you wish to speak from and then you might leave a better overall impression on people. You've already been pubicly called a "Know it all" by one long-term member here, yet you haven't learned anything. You are definitely as wise as your years.
Wow, looks like you did some researching there... if you did not read any of my other posts then why would you assume and think you know that I "Jump from this to that and back again when the NEED suits YOU"? Yep, just some more blabbering there.
Now, I officially hand the bar back over to you Naja02, again write what you please but remember it will be here until it is deleted as time passes, so every word counts.
Sincerely,
Peter
