Wow, I wake up and go take an exam and I come back to this war? Gentleman, I am going to try and get to everyone's points, but my main thing is that I don't want this to turn into a flame fest. I posted these comparisons for everyone to see and pull their own conclusions from it. The title seems as though I was trying to "push" this method, and that is not the truth. My favorite part of this website is the intense wealth of knowledge that you can gain simply from reading other people's experiences. I have learned from who I consider some of the best at this method on this forum, and my only goal on here is to continue gaining knowledge while teaching what I have learned to other people.
Not too long ago I was someone knowing nothing, and now I am hoping to help people that were like me.
And for the ugly ass bird, I have heard plenty about you and do not plan on taking anything that you say to heart. You say you have pictures of absurd bud growth, and that is supposed to be proof that my comparison pictures aren't real? Photoshop is a wonderful thing. I doubt that the pictures you are talking about are real. What I can tell you is that I took those comparison pictures. I have over 200 pictures that I have taken of every plant I have grown thus far on damn near every day of it's growth. None have been modified, altered etc. The date comparisons are real. They are the correct times and dates. The only reason that you are choosing to call me out on it is because you don't know what you are talking about. You are a forum troll. Well troll, you're not welcome in my threads. Go chill under a bridge somewhere.
Now, I want to address some of the questions as opposed to the flames.
Someone asked about having the water level up into the net pots for seedlings. I have tried this and I drowned the seedlings. It was just a recent thing that I did to see if again the bubbleponics method was worth it. There are surely successes with this, but from my slight experience and research done on the subject, for whatever reason, it is more common for someone to drown their seedlings by raising the water level than with the feeder lines.
I think that this may be because there is a bit of a misunderstanding with the feeder lines. The irrigation hubs are either adjustable anywhere from .5 gph to 5gph or even more. My hub is fixed at 2 gph. This is NOT MUCH WATER AT ALL. I think that this is the important part. If you were to have the water level higher, it would be constantly soaking in the solution, being more prone to drown and keeping it at maximum saturation. I would think that the extremely slow release of water from the feeder tubes has to do with the safety of not drowning your plants with this method.
I am trying to answer the best that I can, but what you need to realize is that regardless of whether what I said above is true or not, those pictures are. It is tried and true with my personal experience. I tried to share my personal experience and knowledge gains on the comparisons with others to promote interest, not conflict.
If anyone wishes to be constructive or ask something, feel free too! I still want to try and help people.
As for the trolls -------> bridge.
thanks
