ripsterafn Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hey guys and gals. I live on a farm and my wife's cousin is a color blind farmer. I was talking with him over the summer when the corn and bean crops were growing and he pointed out that they needed nutes. I asked him how does he know that, they looked nice and green to me. He replied, "You can't see the yellow patches in the leaves?" I said no... What yellow... Then I remembered he was color blind.So we started talking about his "defect". As a pot grower, I don't see his color blindness as a defect. I see it as a blessing. So I thought I would post this topic and see what other growers are color blind and how it helps them in their grows.So if you are color blind, please chime in... I'm very curious to see if our top growers are color blind or just plain good at growing pot That's why I posted in the Guru section.. Thanks and happy growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripsterafn Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah, he's my wife's cousin and I know all to well that the mother carries the gene to the male's mostly. I've actually never heard of a color blind female...But my wife's brother is also color blind. But he's nobody to ask about growing, he works for the Federal Gov.

ripsterafn Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I see, and sounds like your a good painter too. Comparing a bulb to the sun huh? Speaking of that, I was looking in my tent yesterday and for some reason, I looked up at my 1000 watt HID bulb. Guess what? I went blind for a min... So it's sorta like the sun lol...I see we're bouncing back and forth between threads... Nice talking with you F.V.K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodus Please Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm colour blind, reds and greens. I can see colour etc. but reds and greens merge and muddle. Red and green derivatives like purple, mauve, rust colours, browns can be difficult to differentiate in some lights. I've never noticed what was mentioned here and have actually worried about NOT noticing colour changes due to nutritional deficiency or sickness.My freinds all keep their weed in green or red bags so I can't find it!! %) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about @ harvest time. How do your trichs look to you? Or do you harvest by another method? I suppose these questions sound pretty stupid huh? Do you have a photo album here I could look through? Just want to see how they look Thanks again Exodus... I have also looked to see if I could find Fuzzy's web filter for colour blindness, but could not find it.So instead here is a couple of links I found for colour blind web filtersa web filter for many different types of colour blindness http://colorfilter.wickline.org/a filter that lets non-colour lind people to see what colour blindness looks like http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/PeaceLamsThanks lamsbread. I appreciate you looking and throwing up a few links.. This example from your link is awesome. I always wondered what color blind people see. Amazing The world. How the world looks to a person with a red/green color deficit (deuteranopia). How the world looks to a person with a blue/yellow color deficit (tritanopia). Some colorful hats. As seen by a person with deuteranopia. As seen by a person with protanopia, another form of red/green deficit. This is an Ishihara plate commonly used to check for red/green color blindness This is what a red/green color-blind person might see. Note that the digit (3) is practically invisible. People with color deficiencies may have difficulty distinguishing certain colors (e.g., a red/green color deficiency means that reds and greens are more difficult to distinguish). But as this photo demonstrates, many other colors are just as distinguishable to a person with a color deficiency as to someone with normal color vision. Poppies and cyclamen. Protanope. Tritanope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
