So everybody is an expert....well by readings hundreds of post over the last year I'm worn out.
If you hang out on these forums you know what I mean. For every question there are multiple answers. For every guy that said this another guy said that’s wrong. People post answers to questions that have no experience or a friend told them or I read that or he said this. Now this of course is not everybody but the vast majority of post are like that.
I do understand that there is more than one way to do it. People talking as if they are stating fact or giving out science as if they have a science degree in cannabis cultivation. Now there are folks that document there grows and share what they have learned from experience. That’s all good assuming that they are telling the truth.
So Where IS all the real science? Is it too early for science from labs about cultivation? Why is there nobody from working commercial growing facilities talking about the results they get?
The more I read the less I know. Please point me in the right direction if I just don’t know where to find it. I’m tired of the hearsay. I just want to learn more about growing with out the 95% BS filter on.

dude stick with 3/4 growers on here for your answers, not on how many post they have done.Or pictures that could have just been ripped of the net,
I have been doing this now for around 17 yr,and i am still learning.i have a nute sced,that i stick to and nute package i stick too.
i get 24/28 of each plant some might not be happy with this yeild but it suites my needs,and its very rare i have problems.any questions i'm glad to help anyone
grow a plant that has been made out to be the devils own,its not easy so many think you chuck em in a room and that is it,i see so many new growers on here with all
the new stuff from there garden shops but they very rarely say they have the main tool a ec blue lab trunchen.They are also under gunned when it comes to fans by fans exaust, inlet
i go on the rule of 2" drop for inlet like i use a 10" on one job that goes to filter,and a 8" inlet that brings fresh air from a window.
I use the most simple but great hydro set up for new growers and old too auto pot set up.no pumps needed, well there is but not for getting water to the pots this is done by gravity.i have a fish tank pump sending air to the bottom of the pots via air rings,i don't like the bigger air pumps there too loud.i wanna keep noise down to a min.also a pump with a large airstone in the tank even if your growing in soil i would still have air rings in the bottom of the pots with soil on top not under the pots this sends plenty of frsh air to the roots i have the pumps on the outside of the room.
Horse pipe is set from the tap on the tub and goes down the centre of the room,with horse pipe to horse pipe with connectors for spag tubeing going to the pots ball cots.
nutes are simple and so is the sced,its canna a/b rhizatonic with big bud from advanced and pk 13/14 from canna sometimes overdrive but only on longer strains like haze's.
i have the inlet duct running along side the horse pipe down centre of the room with holes made in the sides so fresh air can come out all way along the duct rather than just the end.
In a other room i have its 8 ft x 6 ft x 8 ft tall.ya need two oss fans in a room of this size,but don't over do it on the plant amounts,i did two in this room with 2 x 600 hps cool hoods 8 " exaust and 6 " inlet 8" filter large.this was also a room with in a room stud work plaster boards foam same has above.If you have 6/8 ft in height then flower at 16" if you have the right amount of light they will be plenty of room,also don't top your first crop leave it to grow one cola,i never top during flowering its done in veg,i top every branch top during veg around week 3 and then leave em for a week more in veg.I put down the ec sced below it works stick to it and you won't go far wrong,try and get clones if not regular seeds not femanised start with regular seeds and you will not go far wrong,you will learn far more but like i say if you can get clones.
Feeding sced
-------------
week - 1 canna a/b and rhizatonic ec 1.1
week - 2 canna a/b 1.2 ec
week - 3 canna a/b 1.3 ec
week - 4 canna a/b 1.4 ec
FLOWERING
-----------
week - 1 canna a/b ec 1.4
week - 2 canna a/b ec 1.4 big bud from adavanced
week - 3 canna a/b ec 1.5 big bud from advanced
week - 4 canna a/b ec 1.5
week - 5 canna a/b ec 1.5
week - 6 canna a/b and pk 13/14 ec 1.6
week - 7 canna a/b
week - 8 canna a/b ec 1.6 water if they look cooked but i all ways push for 9 week
week - 9 water for 7 days
When the plants are done
-------------------------
Pull the fan leaves off,and cut from the bottom stem and hang the plants up side down and hang in dark room with
all fans on that means the filter inlet and ossalating,The reason that i dry this way is that some of the small leaves
around the the bud are full of thc,these dry around the bud,and it is a shame to trim these of while wet trimming.
i don't use any trimming gear just my fingers its faster and the end result bud wise looks the bees knees.
let me know how you go on,i know longer ph no need,knowing the ec is far more important un-less your water is un drinkable.
Keep at it and you will learn your self,get to grips with sexing regular seeds,and keeping a mother but only if it is a 100% female
no good keeping a femanised mother,it will turn on you in the end.start cloneing this helps keep the number of people knowing what your doing
down a lot,by buying clones the person you bought them of knows when your crops gonna be ready also you could be bringing clones with mites on
into your room.any problems in box me,i do not claim to be the best grower in the world but im happy to help you hit decent targets yeild wise.
If you do need to grow from seed don't use seeds found in bought bud,go with a seed bank like big buddah blue cheese-th seeds mk ultra-dj shorts blueberry there is also another strain called blues but forgot who does it------
Keep at it dude,you will get through the countless do this do that,one person saying a problem is one thing another saying its another.like everything in life there is no better way to learn a trade than doing it getting to know the plants inside out,they will speak to you honest sounds daft but if there not happy or there is a problem they will let you know.
Key your room,by this is mean run it for 3/4 hours before you put any plants in,then any problems you can deal with with out stressing the plants out. simple but useful tip is run the room through the night when temps are cooler.like on 18/6 lights of at 6 am morning till dinner 12 pm
12/12 off 6 pm while 6 am,but in winter try and have a heater in the room,i have one on the out side of the room under the duct that brings fresh air in this heats the duct work up and makes the air warm,but this is only because the heater i bought runs too hot in the room little tricks like this that can make a big differance.
