Well said. You should be open to new ideas but you should also use your brain and research yourself. For instance when I started growing I started using molasses almost immediately so I had no idea if it was actually doing anything. This last run I didn't use it and I noticed a substantial decrease in resin and a small but noticeable dip in potency.Trust me I have heard too much about molasses. Every few years in the growing community someone will post factual information such as: Molasses promotes beneficial microbes in the soil which helps convert unusable organic compounds into nutrients usable by the plant.
Then it turns into a telephone game and a bunch of kids jump on the bandwagon and start saying things totally out of conjecture like: "I got huge buds all because I used molasses" or "molasses increases THC content" or "molasses makes my bud taste better". Well old school growers like me just go . . .
After a while it gets hard to sort out the BS from the facts, I prefer factual scientific evidence not ideas from some stoned teenager. Ok rant over
That's still not really scientific though, just anecdotal at the moment. This next grow I've got in flower I'm going to use it on 2 out of 3 plants and see if they are any better than the one I don't use it on.
