how does the source of your nutes determine expertise? An expert would be able to fertilize plants with a wide variety of nutes. Using what is available to get great results is a sign of an expert to me. My only real point (I don't know how using cannabis nutes as any bearing on this), is...

When you say 'us' what do you mean? Cannabis growers as a whole? I use ingredients purchased at a farm supply store to fertilize with. This is cheaper than using 'garden nutes'. But just because some people use off the shelf nutes from a hydro store doesn't make them less able to grow...

Many of us here are experts relative to most typical home gardners. My co-workers and I used to say that an expert was someone who came from more than 10 miles away.

sub, From what I can tell you don't have any runoff when watering. Is this correct?

buraka, clones usually don't have nodes like this are you growing from clones? I grow from clones and used to cut all the lower growth off. After reading this thread it has changed the way I prune, but to do things like this thread shows you'll need to grow from seed.

It isn't a matter of which produces the most, it is more of a style thing. There comes a point where too many colas can dilute things.

Are they defunct because they had legal issues?

UB, I am thinking of setting up a document management system. It is not a forum, but people can edit stuff easily and even colaborate on document creation. There are comments and things that permit discussion. I want to have a system where people serious about learning can share info and...

overmyhead, I used to cut off all the lower limbs and top the very top. I've never not topped at all but plan to this cycle. I'n my limited experience when I top high the plant falls over. Out door plants get blown a lot and the stems are really strong. Indoor plants seem to need topping...

overmyhead, I top my rooted clippings at the fourth node. They are not node sets like with seeds so they span a little more distance. I top them, then veg for a few weeks, then when I flower them they are really bushy and strong (no stakes or strings needed). I usually let the rooted...

he has been crucified for getting people to think, we can't have too many people thinking on their own, it could have negative affects on snake oil sales I don't care how rude someone is, if they are saying things that can be backed up in a lab and measured I can take their rudeness... At work...

ed, you up your P before you flower? Why? I usually wait till the plants start to flower before giving more P. I mean I usually give veg nutes all through veg and the first part (1-2 weeks) of the flower cycle.

It depends. If the problem is with the genetics then yes, if the problem is not genetic the clipping will have potential. Read about phenotype.

Fatman, I've tried to ask this questions many times and have never gotten an answer. I think I am probably not being clear... I'f you have fert salts and the plants consumes them, are you left with some other salt that the plant wont use? I've heard the term 'spent salts'. I ask this...

kiwi, I just grew a plant in coco using grow more (same as GH), foliage pro, humic acid liquid, and cal mag. I liked it so mch I did my whole next crop that way. The plants are green and healthy with lots of nice forming buds. I am really happy with the results and plan to look into what my...

So using something like 3-1-2 all the way through makes sense? I use phosphoric acid and only add back water till my EC is correct. Up until now I have been using 1-3-2 for flowering.

Dave, I had some plants in soil (first soil grow) that was amended before hand (sub's super soil). The plants ended up yellow and clawed. Did they maybe get too much nutes at one time to yellow but too much at another time to claw? I had the super soil on the bottom 1/4 of the pot and some...

fatman, do you regularly use benzylaminopurine?

I've just started growing with my lights vert and the plants in a circle around them on shelves that are three high. I assume that I don't top my plants with this style of grow but have not been able to find much info on this. Do most vert light growers top their plants or not? I am...

It is easy, people don't like to research, 'do their homework', etc. They instead want to be told what to do (spoon fed). I think there are several kind of people. Those who ask why (in a inquisitive way) and those who don't. Many people probably don't consider reading long threads.
