I'm sorry to report my partner in stupid, has a bad case of the stupids and to make matters worse, he's hard headed. How many times do you need to make the same mistake to learn? It's just like when we go golfing. Any par three that has water on the left, you can be assured he is going to put two hooks into the water, and it doesn't matter how near or far the water, he is going to hook two balls in there. He is never satisfied to put just one ball in, he has to put two. Yesterday he killed off his girls at week three of flowering. Dreadful looking things. We've all seen women who are nothing but skin and bones and yet when they look in the mirror, they see fat. His last two grows were horrible. He got something like twelve ounces from fourteen plants and probably four ounces of those twelve were seeds, dreadful. The plants were so yellow the stems were yellow. I was starting to think...can marijuana plants catch jaundice? These are indica dominant plants and they looked like stretched sativas they were so thin and wispy.
He's to the point he has gained a bit of knowledge and he's become dangerous to any living thing that is green. He feeds his plants like he's creating some kind of soup...let's see we'll give them some of this, a dash of that, maybe a little of this here and oh, that over there looks good, let's give them some of that too. His soil, soil, is like 4.5 and god only knows what the npk of his dr. frankenstein mixtures is??? He is stuck on the more is better idea and I can mix my own soil idea. Last grow was horrible and this grow is now killed.
I recently read in Urban Garden the worst part about bad growers, most of them don't or won't realize it's themselves.
This is not a criticism of him personally. I've known him for over fifteen years. It's just more of a sharing to give everyone a good chuckle. I just got off the phone with him and he's 'adjusting' his set-up. I can't seem to convince him that eighty five at canopy level is getting into the danger area, he just doesn't seem to get it, he blames the soil and rightly so, but he won't listen when I tell him, even if your soil was perfect, eighty five, six and seven is going to stunt their growth. He finally gave in and admitted I was probably correct.
Time to see the girls, lights are on and it starts day two of 12/12. One thing I have noticed about myself concerning growing. My ideas and thoughts of what I'm going to do, change from day to day. I was not going to flower them until this upcoming weekend, instead I flipped them last night.
