A Challenge

I would like to offer all dirt growers having nutrient deficiency problems a challenge. On your next grow, take one plant in good soil and give that plant nothing but water for the entire grow. Are you brave enough? See how it does compared to your other little babies. See how it smokes compared to your others.

Those brave enough to accept this challenge will be better for it, guaranteed.
 
I've done this in 2gal smart pots with FFOF and perlite 3/1 ratio. Veg was great, but started yellowing around the 4th week of flower. If i had been in a 5 gallon pot id say it would have went fine. I also use nothing but maxibloom in all my mediums and don't bother gassing off my water. Heh. Overthinking is a growers worse enemy.
 
You already know I accept this challenge my friend! Ill even make a specific log for it!

No grow log for you brother? Was hoping to see some sexy ladies over this way :/
 
Just do one plant, not your whole grow room! I posted this one day after seeing maybe 10 posts in a row looking for help. All were over-fertilized. I didn't really understand what an underfed plant looked like until I did this experiment. Everything got easier for me after that.

No grow logs for me as I'm not growing at the moment. I'll start my 2014 grow soon, getting soils amended and ready. Probably won't put seeds in dirt until early April so I don't overgrow my greenhouse.

Never posted a picture so here goes:

Okay, 20 minutes later and I'm having trouble finding pics on my hard drive. Easy to find in Picasa but I don't know where they are on my computer. I'll try to reorganize some photos for an upload and maybe do an intro write up with some pics.
 
i've grown in nothing but a good fertile mix with great results. i only grow 8 weekers though so i can't speak about sat/dom hybrids that take longer
 
some of the best smoke ive ever cut inside was only fert twice. once right at flower and again at 2 weeks in. it was sooo smooth, tasted soo good and got you ripped. the plant i grew was a white russian selected hybrid, the yield wasnt crazy but the smoke made up for it!! it was 2 month veg sexed, and flowered, 45-55 days? Cant remember for sure. TRY it I should do this a few more times.

I found out what db602 said is really important, you have to start with a good rich soil. good luck guys!! post results
