Ethically made clothing is expensive! I read a super interesting book on the topic called Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion for anyone interested.
No, that’s not the point. It needs to entice the customer to pick it up in the first place. However, a hanger appears two dimensional. So a lot of three dimensional clothes look like crap while on a hanger but fine on, and vice versa.
These style mannequins are also modeled off stylized high-fashion drawings, which again are trying to make a two dimensional drawing appeal to three dimensions. We don’t do that terribly well as a species and will think “oh! That’s how it looks on me!”
It’s all based in art and psychology. I highly recommend Overdressed: the shockingly high cost of cheap fashion. Very interesting and informative.
That book is awesome and very relevant to your question! If you have an appetite after for more info Overdressed is also excellent, as is the documentary The True Cost (which is on Netflix now I think).
If it interests you, I highly recommend Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Fast Fashion. It is a great book that details the history of the modern clothing industry.
I would recommend keeping the humidifier outside of the tent to humidify the room, rather than the tent (assuming you are pulling fresh air into the tent from the room). I also recommend getting THIS BOOK. It really helped me understand a lot more when I was starting out.
www.growweedeasy.com is a good place to start but I would also recommend getting a book. This book is what really helped me understand a lot when I started growing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0932551467/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here is a classic on the subject: https://www.amazon.com/Small-Beautiful-Economics-Mattered-Perennial/dp/0061997765/
> Non-renewable goods must be used only if they are indispensable, and then only with the greatest care and the most meticulous concern for conservation. To use them heedlessly or extravagantly is an act of violence, and while complete non-violence may not be attainable on this earth, there is nonetheless an ineluctable duty on man to aim at the ideal of non-violence in all he does.
> ...As the world's resources of non-renewable fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - are exceedingly unevenly distributed over the globe and undoubtedly limited in quantity, it is clear that their exploitation at an ever-increasing rate is an act of violence against nature which must almost inevitably lead to violence between men.

Ed Rosenthal's marijuana growers handbook is one of the standards in self education in the needs of weed. Marijuana is an annual with a taproot. I'd imagine supporting every month and adding a rock under the roots each time would be a way to go about it.
I tried to find the link to the standalone research paper with no joy. It's an excerpt from Cannabis Grower's Handbook: The Complete Guide to Marijuana and Hemp Cultivation, published last year. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1936807548/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_PCK3B1XG49N4QQ1MA5KG
I did find this paper, which I am reading as we speak

Buy this book, all of your questions will be answered.
There’s this book that’s been on my list - Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion (Amazon link for you).
My parents were always lowest-cost shoppers and I mostly turned out that way. But honestly, the few nice things I had ended up lasting me way longer than any low cost items that I got curious and now I try to buy the best quality for the dollar, when possible. Even if that means I get it later. I know that’s not always possible or feasible but if you’re paid well then I think, in the mid/longer-term it will end up saving you money.
I have read that if you are planning to use your buds to make shatter or similar products, then now would be the time to harvest, to take advantage of the plants highest possible thc potency. But for the best quality of smokeable buds you should wait for more amber trichomes.

Here are two quotes that I remember when college students talk about not having any meaning. They're from Small is Beautiful:
> When people ask for education...they are really looking for...ideas that would make the world, and their own lives, intelligible to them.
Education is (or, I suppose, should be) about trying to find your place in the world. To feel like you don't have all the answers is the entire point of getting educated.
> The truly educated man...will not be in doubt about his basic convictions, about his view on the meaning and purpose of his life. He may not be able to explain these matters in words, but the conduct of his life will show a certain sureness of touch which stems from his inner clarity
And this inner clarity is what you're trying to develop. Depending on your major, those answers may not come from what you're learning. Without going off on a tangent about the qualitative abyss of STEM degrees, I'll just say that knowing how to do something says nothing about what to do. So, your education may have to happen outside of what you're learning in university...or at least in parallel.
You can get Robert Bergmann grow Bible off his site for free if you sign up for email or something Here . They have physical copies if you prefer.
The Growers handbook is also popular.
Forums and sites like www.growweedeasy.com that has tutorials will be more up to date with things like equipment recommendations for example.
Marijuana Grower's Handbook by Ed Rosenthal I have it, like it a lot, and it is the actual course book for Oaksterdam University's class.
The book Overdressed theories that when "fast fashion" took over, it made trends come/go too fast, so styles don't feel as distinct to time anymore.
I grow in soil and watching Cali Green vids taught me quite a bit. Then I got a book by Ed Rosenthal to teach me the science. The main thing to remember is there is no correct way to grow and to only listen to one or two people. There are tons of products out there and you don’t need your grow transforming into a alchemical lab.
You should already be prepared. In case you’re not:

I would highly recommend getting this book. There are a lot of good websites, too, but I've personally learned more from that book than from any of the websites.
Ed Rosenthal for the win! Best Book out here
I couldn't find reference to a quote, but the phrase seems to come from the education sector, and also this book. I'm not sure Gove said it in relation to Brexit.
Not stupid at all. Answer is YES.
First, decrease in cold-related deaths and injuries.
Second, some new business opportunities. Read: https://www.amazon.com/Windfall-Booming-Business-Global-Warming/dp/1594204012/
Greenpeace is a pretty terrible example of environmentalists that I think most rational eco-nerds don't really want to associate with. If they're the archetypical environmentalists that come to mind when you imagine "environmentally conscious" people then I don't blame you at all for being hostile towards it.
If you're actually interested in understanding what the well respected environmentalists believe, then I'd encourage you to read a book on the idea of a steady state economy.
Enough is Enough is my favourite one for ease of readability.
Prosperity Without Growth is probably the most well-known and sourced book, but it's a bit more abstract and has less actual practical examples.
The analysis comes straight from the book Overderessed: the shockingly high cost of fast fashion which discusses the changes to the fashion and clothing industry over the last century. How I outlined it is vastly oversimplified. It's mapped out in far more detail in the book; the designers themselves and the industry does not shy away from the fact that clothes need hanger appeal. This is not a conspiracy, it's a thing:
There are a ton of scholarly articles on the phenomenon, if you are interested in learning something new and not just calling something that disagrees with your worldview a conspiracy.
>I said to incentive greed. You want to save money? Well the cheapest way is to respect the environment. Want to avoid taxes? Put work in on social issues. Your company fucked up in the past? Lesser sentences if you do better right now.
Since none of these are currently true, we would have to lay a hell of lot of unpopular political groundwork (and dealing with the flight of business as a result) to make them true. Currently, every business has plenty of incentive is to bend the rules, avoid the consequences, hide the money offshore, basically take the money and run. Shortsightedness is the order of the day, and "cash flow is king" as they say.
>Market growth is a healthy thing...
You are correct about this - the reason we get into a disagreement on this is that we don't measure growth in that linear way. We are in a system that is making all their financial bets based on percentage growth (which could be expressed as having the ability to repay a loan with interest), and expecting returns as such before giving money out to business loans or aspiring homeowners, before buying stock. Percentage-based growth is exponential growth and that cannot go on forever. I believe that living in a system of debt-based money and interest is what prevents any real change from happening as long as we continue playing within the rules of fractional-reserve banking and our entire monetary policy based on lending.
This economist has said what I believe needs to be said, and thought about. There are ways for us to approach prosperity without the economic pressure that comes from racing to keep GDP growing at ~3% annually.
