Grower forums & secret influencers feedback thread

i bought a fake spider from aliexpress everybody starts talking shit about asian knockoffs. light gives same as the real spider. i paid it 10% of the real spider

I believe you, and it's highly possible that it's the exact same light without a brand name. Most of them are manufactured in Shenzhen, China, if not all of them. Spider or Mars slap their name on it and charge double or triple the price.

maybe its one of the ones that didnt pass the quality control or maybe china stole the design and sells it on its own who knows but the light works

I've wondered for quite a while if once someone pays for a production run, some of these companies advertise what they are running to see if they can sell more. So, not just look alikes. Essentially the same thing.

I’m sure there are supposed influencers on here, but there’s also tons of fan boys and girls too which could look like it but aren’t. My guess it’s much lower than you think. Atleast ones that are paid money or have a actual quid pro quo deal for promotion for product.

Everyone is partial to what they grow and what they think is the best.

As far as nutrients go it’s bc everyone is after the Holy Grail bottle that will turn their buds to magic. They fail to understand that it’s mostly genetics and treating it like a plant. Healthy and lush with solid genetics will out perform any magic bottle claim but they won’t listen.

The fact it was illegal for so long brought around a bunch of bro tales aka bro science and 95% of it bullshit with nothing but hearing it from a guy.

“But the guy in the hydro store said” or “on YouTube” is every where. There’s a lot of new growers who get suckered on products or take grow techniques from idiots without doing proper research first.

This instant gratification World everyone wants the info handed to them. Nobody wants to learn with research and experience. Just buy this and do this and pop this 1 ten pack and I’ll have the best of the best.


Nobody likes to research and experiment/learn for themselves and find out what works best for them.

At the end of the day feed them plant food and keep them healthy and green. If you do that you’ll be rewarded if you have some solid genetics from a bunch of pheno hunts.

Very well said. It took me about 2 years of trying different things to finally dial everything in when it came to equipment and skills. I'm genuinely starting to believe that patience and the ability to pay attention is getting rarer and rarer these days.
