The science clearly proves that green lightning is snake oil and the math also backs up my point that its snake oil.


Your head is already exploding so what’s your head going to do when the plant responds differently than what the science and math you have bought says it should?

According to his data the GL applications did have some sorta positive impact on the yield. Was the impact worth what it cost him for that application(s) and manufacture of the GL? That’s his math to decide. Maybe just foliar spraying RO water on the crop would have gotten him a response, we don’t know cause he didn’t try. Be interesting if he did next year and compare RO water to GL water.

I would agree that a lot of the marketing around GL and its claims are confusing and possibly misleading. I still don’t think they (the GL folks) have half a clue on what they really are doing, what the product is, and how it should be used. Maybe in a few more years (if they make it that long) they will get that figured out (or someone else will figure it out for them) and they can market it better than they do now. It is not, from my dealings, something that can be marketed or used in like manner of commercial N products. Even commercial N,P,K fertilizers and their application effects are not fully understood. That’s why so many people get different results from the same application of them.

If your math and science was sooooooo perfect than why aren’t you raising 500-1000 bushel corn, 400 bushel soybeans ect on every acre? According to you and your math as long as you throw out xxx pounds of nutrients you will harvest xxxxx bushels of grain. Since that doesn’t work, that proves your math and science, or rather whatever math and science you have bought, is snake oil as well. Even his highest use of applied N (435 urea and 100 AMS) figures at less than one pound of N per bushel produced. Snake oil salesman, what you call fertilizer salesman, around here preach gotta apply 1.25#N per bushel if you wanna raise a bushel of corn. Without doing the math on every one of his results, all his results came with less than 1# N per bushel. ** these figures are derived from his posted application numbers. I didn’t see where he mentioned any other broadcasted P or K, additional fertilizer blends that contained N that were broadcast preplant or applied with planter. Those would change the pounds per bushel of N number.

Farming whether it be row crops, produce, vegetables, fruits, animals, etc, is not a perfect science or perfect math. Never has been, never will be.
