Hey Jin. Thanks for taking the time to type all that up.
I am very skeptical of mainstream science, though also very skeptical of just about everything in general and just because people have been doing it for thousands of years doesn't mean it's a good thing, people have been warring and raping and torturing for thousands of years too.
But, having said that... You have sparked my curiosity and maybe I should give it another try sometime.
Trying it at sunset sounds like a good idea. I'm gonna have to make a note cause I may forget and it's been really cold out lately and I tend to get inside before sunset, however it's warming up and I'll try to test it out in the not too distant future hopefully. :) Cheers.
Oh, in regard to being plants in a different form... I sort of agree, it reminds me of what some wise sage or yogi or buddha said from a video I saw a few years ago where he said we are made up of plants animals and also the minerals from earth and stuff like that, so... Yeah... I do think we are part plant to some extent and that's interesting to think about. ._.
