UP-canning and root scoring is so brilliant. Instead of lolipopping aka d-bagging your plants, why not create a stronger root system?
So simple, so practical, yet Uncle Ben gets more shit on RIU than ANYONE (i.e. 500 likes on the most significant thread on RIU).
Here is why people like me hate(d) Uncle Ben: I spent,spend thousands at a grow shops. I read every Jorge and Ed grow book three times. I have no practical knowledge of plant science or applied science for that matter, but any book that says 'Marijuana" on it MUST BE RIGHT. WHAAAA? GREEN LEAFS THROUGH HARVEST?!?
Uncle Ben must be some evil crack head making up LIES! Green leafs through harvest, BAH! Isn't Jorge a doctor? Ed is a doctor for sure, right? He wears a lab coat in a picture, he knows how to grow weed, right!?! Tell me that these 20 year olds at the 15 grow shops in my small town know everything about growing weed, right?! Surely, they know more than stupid Uncle Ben, right? Why else would 100 companies make 10-75-50 Bubble Bloom Booster?!? But everyone PHs!! ITS IN EVERY GROW SHOP ! No way would the grow shops try and take all my money! They have to be honest! They have a shop specifically for Marijuana! They are good guys, right? Anything Lowes, Home Depot sells as far as plant nutrients is NOT for weed. That would be too easy, growing weed is only for the truly smart and IT cannot be compared with growing anything else on Earth!!!!!
No fucking way did I waste all that hard earned money, I worked for! I am a smart person, THERE IS NO WAY I WASTED MY MONEY. I didn't get the cure right UB, thats why the nugs tasted kinda funny, the leafs are suppose to be dead at harvest!!!
We all see UBs thread and for some reason we get angry at him for ripping us off. When I first read this thread I was Angry, shocked, and I immediately mistrusted UB. I started going through the posts and I saw the very few testimonials amongst the heavy insults. I did not begin practicing UBs techniques until I had NO other choices really, but to save money and time. What began was a lovely garden at a time in my life that I needed it to succeed so badly. Now I finally feel like I have so much to learn! I have so little knowledge of Plant Science and so little experience but I finally feel OK with that! I am emerging from a dark cocoon of bad info. That was a ugly, expensive, and time consuming road I was on before and I was going down it with a full steam of passion. Im lucky to get de-railed and to see the light. I hope that just one or two other people like me see this post and start to 'get it'. IT has almost been like a spiritual enlightenment if you will. I really love pot and I am sick of the top shelf prices like everyone. Now I can pay my electric bill and have medicine I feel i need.
I don't know why you post on here UB. Maybe its sympathy for us newbs, maybe its the few good guys and friends you have on here. I still have much to learn.
Thank you
