My Grandma use to grow palm trees in the Midwest. Her secret was...

But anyway, much of growing any kind of plant is just common sense coupled with trial and error. There is so much growing info on this site and all over the internet that you should grow for 3-4 years then ask the question... or maybe you'll just know the answer by then!

Hell, I've only been growing for a 2-3 years and I'm still learning the basics. "Secrets" would only confuse me and probably you. Good luck and happy reading!!



oh yeah, she had the tree in a huge pot and took back into her greenhouse in the winter. Sorry, it wasn't really a secret!:-|

well let me just put it this way, you can learn everything you need to have a great grow on this site if you know how to look and the people to look for.. cross reference info from google and other sites and bam you are a grower!

sorry you wasted your money on books and dvds... all the info is at your fingertips.

and yes answers... everyone is seeking answers
I did not waste a dime, or even spend a dime on books and dvd's. Watched em on youtube! but yeah, i can agree with you there.

thats what im talking about - everything is free on the internet ;-) if you have some information that will help someone else and you dont give it to them because YOU dont profit... that just makes you a dick. ESPECIALLY when it comes to growing every member of this sites favorite plant.

I have to agree with growtech. If every grower in the world shared their secrets then the people who grow to make money cuz they can't do an actual job but can grow won't have a sorce of income. I to will keep my own secrets when I grow since I don't want to expose it cuz of the hits and miss over the years.

Well said! :clap:

What a bunch of fucking pricks in this thread to come in and announce they have secrets and won't share them. Jesus fucking christ.... what a bunch of cock-suckers!

If you've cooked up your own super secret blend of nutes and want to bottle and sell them then I can understand not wanting to tell anyone the recipe.... makes total sense, but holding onto secrets and tips that you've learned or been told by others and not sharing that info with others is just stingy!

I'm sure I'll get plenty of neg. rep for this post but I don't give a shit.... I'd never be friends with any of the stingy mother fuckers posting here bragging about their precious secrets and how they won't share.

Shit, you never see Al B. or FDD or FilthyFletch, or ... the list of kick ass growers goes on.... being so stingy with the secrets they know. They go out of their way to spread the secrets/tips/information around. That's the way it SHOULD be!

growtech, you really take the title of this thread seriously... maybe it should be changed to growing "tips" instead of secrets... nobody is asking how long your cock is, THAT is a secret...

also FloJos post about the 9 easy payments... I think its pretty evident he was directly mocking you... because you make it sound like you got all these kick ass secrets, and you are the badass grower, but you wont share your "secrets" for nothing... (you just didnt ask for the payments)..

anyways, whatever "secret" you have, if its not already in the grow FAQ probably sounds so stupid you dont want to share it... like, in the last 2 weeks of flower, flush the plants with purplesauras-rex kool-aid, it packs adds an extra 40% by weight and makes the buds smell super ignorant!

i hope nobody is still reading this looking for grow tips... i doubt there will be any more ;-)
Without spending too much time on you, if FloJo is mocking me, he's got the cajones to say it on his own...

Whether or not they are valuable, the tricks I was asked to keep secret will be kept secret... seeeecret recipe :lol: >makes ghost sounds<

You're avatars geekin me out florida girl. and i gota say bloodshot and florida girl put it best. spread the fucking wealth god damn it. we all know its not secrets were after but first hand experience, research, tips, information, call it whatever you want. I'm sure even badass growers could learn off newbs experimenting and messing shit up. I really am grateful that so many people with a lot of experience spend the time to share their information/research/tips/secrets.

What... do you think I grow because I like the smell in my ops? I don't care what the end user pays as long as the clubs pay... You choose where you get your pot from, you can get it from club a, club b, or club c- I sell it for the same amount to every club, and what they mark it up to is up to them... If they choose to sell it at cost, that's their mistake because I give it to them at ridiculously low prices... so they can charge very little to the end user and still be profitable -- but do they choose to? No... and that's not my problem.

Just the reality of the situation... what others wont teach you, you have to learn on your own... fortunately my dad did it for a lot of his life and passed on a number of "family secrets" to me. I consider it the only special bond my father and I ever had... as he wasn't just an incredible grower, but also a huge scumbag drug addict who ruined his life before I was old enough to ask "why?"

I'm just not one of those people who gives away the recipes.

Sooo, you are hear just to suck up info from everyone else but you are not willing to put your idea's and recipes out for others. I thought we were all hear to learn, I did not realize that we were here out of greed.

What you people grow is not going to hurt me one bit. If I can give someone some info to make his or her grow go better, I will do it in a flash instant. It has nothing to do with how much anyone is paying for pot, it is helping our fellow man.

I am here for pain control. Why are you here GROW TECH?

The bottom line is, there are NO SECRETS ABOUT GROWING POT or any other weed. What you think are secrets, are common knowledge now with the computers and the www.

I don't care to even know what you THINK you have that is a secret. I am not going to attack you father or rather you about your father. I really don't care anymore about that then you do that I am in pain, probably less.

What I am saying is your attitude dude. You did not have to jump in and start all this shit, but you did. You laughed at a new person to the thread who did not ask the question quite right, as far as you are concerned, most everyone else got it. Like someone else said if they had said tips instead of secrets, would we be having all this debate? I doubt it. It would have been a thread with 2-9 posts of people saying to do a search, the info is all over the place and it would have been done and over with.

You had to laugh at the poster and make fun of them asking a common question in a different way. You were out of line on that post and people called you on it. You got mad, took it off subject telling us about all your secrets and how everyone else is a blabbermouth. You are reaping what you sew dude. You are getting back what you put out.

Like I said before, I don't give a rats ass what you want to keep as a secret, I am talking about your attitude. Maybe you were in a bad mood but you need to learn to keep it to yourself.

When I have a secret and don't want to tell someone something, I don't run around saying, "I got a secret and I ain't tellin. Na na na na na, ha ha for you! Your an idiot for even asking if anyone has a secret they want to tell, na nan na na na."

That is what I heard in your first post even if that is not what was said.

You keep those secrets, but why not also keep it secret that you have your secret growing method and not going to tell anyone.

Now, you can go back to talking about how rough you had it when you grew up and how bad your daddy was to you. Only people who want to look like a big shot pay to have that ELITE sign next to your name anyway. You must be addicted to EGO as well.

hey dudes this is getting a bit crazy. look, secrets are secrets. but general growing can't be and isn't THAT hard. 3 years ago, i took a small plant a friend gave me (1 foot tall) planted it in the bush (the soil is really really sandy here), watered it maybe once a week, had a mate water it a lot of the time, if was very late going in the ground and i didn't care for it at all no nutes, nothing! i pulled it up way before it was mature, coz it went in so late in the season, and i harvested about 1 1/2 ounces dry, not including the main cola. im only a noob, i just started my second ever grow, i did biology in high school but thats is as much as i know about plants (which is enough i guess). only ever grown outdoors, you can't beat mother nature after all. the on my second grow i have started a journal just so i can show other noobs and fellow aussies that growing weed isn't really very hard and you can get a resonable smoke thats free with not too much effort. am i giving away secrets? no. well i don't have any anyways. but even though i am a noob, i am still trying to help other noobs who may be looking at growing to show them how easy it can be.

secrets? fuck it who cares how to grow a 10 foot tall plant. go live somewhere you can grow year round outdoors and you will grow one easy.

i grow for the enjoyment of not having to pay to have a nice relaxing smoke, as i'm sure a lot of people here do. commercially? BAH! i make enough money with my jobs atm so i wouldn't bother.

i'm only a noob like i said, but happy to try to help other noobs with less knowledge

PEACE :)

How many of the replies on this thread actually helped out the OP?

Also, if someone has a special trick or "family secret" then he/she is in no way obliged to share 'em, just like Coca Cola supposedly don't share their "secret ingredient".

With experience, each (caring) grower will develop his own lil' secrets and adaptations on existing techniques.

To the OP, no matter how much you read or research, you're bound to make a few mistakes. It's always difficult making that transition from theory to practice. Making mistakes and being wrong isn't a bad things! it is a form of enlightenment which can only be gained by experience. I'm on my first grow and I've already made a few small mistakes, but thankfully I now know what not to do and how not to do certain things.

Good luck to you.

I think you should read all of the posts before picking out your favorite and throwing in questions that have already been answered, but since that isn't something you practice I will answer them again, right here for you.

1) No, i'm not here to suck up info from anyone... I contribute a lot...

2) I don't believe in sharing SECRETS... any type, regardless of the situation... secrets are shared between people who trust eachother, and as I said before, I have no problems helping a newbie find his way to a wonderful crop. I've done it before, but like I said: see #3

3) None of the tricks I've promised to keep secret are going to prevent you from having a killer crop when you do things right.

4) I never said I was here out of greed, I only said to one person that what they pay for bud is their choice, I bring it to the clubs and get rid of it for the same low donation amount. all of the clubs get the same great quality stuff, at the same $... what they choose to mark it up to is their choice, just as much as where you buy bud is your choice.


Why am I here? I help, contribute content, and feed the search engines with keywords that bring people like you to rollitup. I'm part of the ecosystem here whether you like it or not- so deal with it. I have morals that I believe in, lying, cheating, stealing, raping, murdering, telling people secrets, etc is ALL against my morals... what is "acceptable" to you is for you to worry about...

You think you have room to judge me? :lol::rolleyes:

Secrets are secrets, but if someone came up to me and told me to keep this between you and me and then went on to tell me the secret to growing great pot is to water it, is this really a secret?

I don't know what your big secret is grow and to be truthful, I really don't care. I am sure your secrets are out there and can be gleaned from the web. I sure they are not really a secret to anyone but yourself.

To me, a secret that is kept is something personal, like, where did you get this great dope? That is a secret. Yes, people get busted letting that kind of secret out. Or the secret about where you have your op, now that is a secret.

Knowledge on how things are done are not a secret. On how things grow, not a secret. On what works best, not a secret. On what you do differently then someone else, still not a secret. All of this info is out there if you look for it. You just don't know which procedures grow the largest, firmest buds on the planet and you are probably wrong anyway.

I had a guy tell me that the secret of good weed is to piss on it and bury it for a couple of months, this will increase the potency of the weed. This is not a secret, it does not work, but it is not a secret in the world of secrets.

Yes, magic is a secret, but you know what, you can not produce anything you can smoke or eat. It is only entertainment. It would not be entertainment if everyone knew the secret.

You got all the flack because you act like you are a god or something grow. You have every right to keep all that you know all to yourself. I hope you do. If you don't, everyone will realize that you do not have any secrets, really, because it is all out there.

All you would do is possibly help someone else with their grow.

To be honest, I have been growing since I was 13 years old. I am now 63 years old so I have been growing for over 50 years. Do I have any secrets? Damned right I do. It is a secret as to where I buy my pot, how much money I make, what my wifes hooha looks like and a lot of others too.

Secret way to grow pot, no. It is all out there. Every way I tried growing, each thing I have ever done to improve what I grow.

The original question as to secrets of the grow may be a loaded question, but to answer in the way you did Grow is to make you look uncaring. You have done a lot to help people on this forum, but the way you came across in this thread does make you look greedy. I saw it as well as a lot of others. You were wrong in saying that the way you did. With 50 years of growing experience, less the 3.5 years I did in prison for it, I have a lot of experience in both growing and life. I think it would be best if you quit while you are ahead. This blabber mouth thing you have been laying on the people of the forum is unfair. That is what everyone of these people are here for, to talk about their hobby of growing their favorite herb and how to do it. They make their money selling seeds, you make yours growing dope for clubs and yourself. I am just here sitting in pain and unable to do much of anything. If you have a secret cure for me, I suppose you would keep that a secret too?

I like you Grow and I like what you have posted in the past, but this post is way out there. Is there something bothering you as late? I hope you get it under control soon. I suppose I will get a neg from you for this, oh well. Don't really know what they are good for...ego? I guess I really don't have any reason to care.

People want to call others newbies because they have low posts on this site. This only means they are newbies to the site, not to growing.

I wish you all good luck on your grows, even you Growtech, although with all those secrets you don't need any luck...how about Karma...need some Karma?

Good Luck to all,
Flabs

Don't worry. I don't -rep people for their assumptions. I don't need karma, I don't need luck, I do work, and like I said- I've been doing great even before my dad passed a few things on to me. Do we share the same values? Apparently not. I don't measure the value of a secret the way you do. If I am told to keep it a secret, it's going to stay a secret. Regardless of whether it's a persons name, something really fucked up someone did, a recipe my lady wants to keep secret... It's about respect- and the fact that anyone here can get on my nuts about my loyalty to my word and my people is ridiculous.

Go figure a bunch of lazy stoners want everything presented to them on a silver platter... Damned those who dare to say "get fucking real" -- You may be willing to compromise your word for the benefit of spreading information, but I live MY life, and I adhere to MY policies, and I accept MY OWN consequences. I wasn't put here to worry about what you think of me, or my character. All I can go off of is how you all live YOUR lives... apparently respect for ones privacy, or things you're told in confidence is measurable, and YOU decide whether or not THEIR secret should be public knowledge. Damn me. Get fucking real!

Discussion of hobbies, and divulging secrets are two different things. Whether those tips are just better soil mixes, or easier ways to set up rooms, or how to better hide your plants in the wild- no matter how simple or complex is it MY fault I was told not to talk about it elsewhere? Do I have the right to measure how secret it should be? No... I'm not the one who decided it's a secret, I'm just the guy who was told to not tell secrets. REGARDLESS my posts should not have come off as greedy, if you had taken the time to participate in the thread and read what's going on, perhaps you would be able to comprehend better.


I figure most of you would know that loose lips sink ships, and telling SECRETS is frowned upon by most people... I would hope so at least -- Because everyone has a reputation in life, and if you want the reputation of a thief, you steal. If you want the reputation of a blabber mouth, you tell peoples secrets.

I have absolutely no clue how this is even being trialed by you all... For fucks sake, the #1 rule about growing is DONT TELL ANYONE... :rolleyes:

:-|

If you want secrets... go look up the agony thread, theres a thousand different secrets people have posted about themselves in that one. Don't chase me down with your pitch forks because I take people seriously when they tell me not to say something about a particular subject they are discussing.

Like a pack of hungry wild dogs... pathetic. :-?

i cant believe your all still going on about growtech not sharing secrets...lol. i happen to agree with him
first off noobs should learn the basics of growing and understand the plant before they start trying advanced techniques, otherwise you are trying to run b4 you can walk!!!

and im sorry but if my dad told me something and told me not to say anything i would take that shit to the grave with me or pass it on to my own child. whats wrong with a dude havin respect for his fathers wishes? do you all not respect your own parents?

It's not that we don't like him having secrets. By all means keep your silly secrets. It was the attitude of "I have is information that i"m not sharing with you and then I will refuse to tell it to you." IF you don't want us to know something, don't tell us. Leave it as an unknown unknown. The moment you point out that you are intentionally ( and quite spitefully) keeping secrets people tend to throw up a finger. Noone feels like they have missed out. Noone is posting longwinded replies to try to drag the secret out, we all just saw something wrong in our wonderful forum and we want this type of attitude stamped out. Growtech is an asset to this community, and obviously a knowledgeable grower but he ran his mouth and everyone got up in arms. Just be more tactful next time. And for the love of god, leave your home life out of other people's threads. At no point was this dude's daddy issues a relevant issue to helping someone find their way in the growing habit. Let's lay it to rest. I'm sure Growtech has got a good idea that he responded hastily and I don't really care all that much so let's get back to good stuff..................

This is the problem with the illegality of the plant. So little information is readily available that people become arrogant about their ability to build a fucking grow room. ANY IDIOT could follow simple instructions to create an environment for their herb, and have great success, but because some other idiot has already done it umpteen times he feels like he should get a pat on the back. And when he doesn't, he throws a fit on some newbie cause he "worked so hard to learn everything he knows". This is not a craft. We are not in preindustrial europe. This is emulating the natural order so that plants can grow. If you get it right then you should not be commended as though you did something original, as all that you really did was copy nature's blueprints.
