4 Tops on 1 Plant... PICS...

[t0rn]

Wow, 8 years of growing and the best thing you could come up with on the forum is topping a plant? I enjoy how this thread has transitioned from you showing the world your brand spanking new technique to saying you're here to learn. If you're here to learn then stfu and read a little bit. It may take months (years in your case) to figure out exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it.

I'm with Brick on this one, the feds are after you because of this site, time to move on to another and become a guru with your amazing topping technique. Maybe people there will appreciate your ignorance.

With 8 years of growing you would think that YOU would have the experience to come on the forums and teach people a thing or two about how and why you do things the way you do in your garden.

Was just trolling around some of your posts and I see the typical noob questions posed by you as the people on here that don't even grow. You asked what Granddaddy Purple was.. are you kidding me? What rock have you been under? You go on to ask about the strain lineage, have you never heard of google? Lemme take the 10 seconds to find the information you were looking for.. wow.. 2 pages FULL of GDP..

Granddaddy Purple (GDP)
[Apothecary]

Indica
Origins - Northern California
Flowering - 60 days
Harvest - Mid October

Apothecary specializes in creating medical strains. They have been growing and refining this all-indica variety for five years. Her ancestors have grown in the hills of Northern California for over two decades, where her phenotypes have been known by many different names including Grape Ape, Purple Erkel, and Grandaddy Grape Ape.

As an indoor crop, Granddaddy Purple is equally happy in hydro or soil. With a pure indica heritage, this plant is predisposed to a short bushy stature. Granddaddy branches extensively, making her less than ideal for SOG style grows, but she can be trained to make an awesome super crop garden. When left to her natural tendencies, this strain will make a nice big shrub that reaches about 3 feet indoors or up to 8 feet outdoors. She is a hardy grower with tight internodes and dense dark green to purple leaves.

Granddaddy Purple is easy to work with throughout her growth cycle. She likes a cool temperature, between 70-80 F, and can be very forgiving so long as she is adequately watered. Due to her high resin output and dense structure, this plant can be alluring to mites.

Granddaddy Purple finishes her flowering cycle in 8-9 weeks. The buds are dense green nuggets that gain royal purple hues as they mature. Depending on the size she is allowed to reach, Granddaddy Purple can yield between 0.5 and 3.5 ounces apiece. outdoor plants will really deliver, with potential yields between 8 ounces and 5 pounds.

There is a potent, undeniable grape tinge to this plant' aroma, and a sweet grape taste that lingers subtly on the tongue. Granddaddy Purple's effects are enduring, with a smooth even feeling throughout. For an indica, her buzz is surprisingly alert and energetic rather than sedating. This is a good smoke for walking in the high meadows and swimming in the lake afterwards. Medicinally, this varity has given relief to cancer / chemotherapy patients. Granddaddy Purple has taken first prize in no less than four pot competitions: The Inglewood Medical Cannabis Cup in 2004, and the Green Cup in 2004, 2005, and 2006.

I'm going to lay off you for now with this little tidbit of advice. The internet is a great place, after rummaging through a lot of bullshit you'll find MANY gems of information there. Take the time and do the legwork for yourself and figure out what you need to know. Someone telling you what to do is a lot different than figuring out for yourself. Take the time to look through peoples grow journals with an academic approach. Why are they doing what they do and exactly how is it working?

Brick Top...The quotes above were taken from an earlier post by the "lil' buckeroo". where he was denying asking for help from an "expert" on growing marijuana. I was merely showing him the error of his way.

Then I apologize for having missed that message too know they were quotes. With the lines not being in quote boxes I did not realize they were quotes and instead only thought it an odd message.

 

[Brick Top]

I respect those that respect back... I am a learner and do NOT care to hear the riff raff of people that read about growing and COPY & PASTE their "knowledge" from the Internet... Thanks for the info.. I am glad you did not hop on the Bandwagon.. Fully understand you...

I actually use a lot of copy and pasted information. Much of what I post is highly detailed and not things that can be reworded into a Readers Digest Condensed Version without losing a great deal of needed pertinent information that if lost leaves gaps that cause confusion. As long as something C&P'd is accurate and from a credible source, and not just someone's opinion or belief, then it is far better than something someone words themselves.

Some things just cannot be shrunk down into a six line message and some things lose credibility if missing all the information needed for every piece of the puzzle to be able to be put together. Sometimes C&P's include graphs and charts and pictures and diagrams that are very helpful and will teach someone a great amount, and they are not things that can be put into words or re-drawn by someone to then post the information. It also removes the chance of error on the part of the typist who, like most of us, will at times type while high and occasionally slightly or somewhat mix things up resulting in the person taking advice to then experience problems they otherwise would not be experiencing.

Anyone who rejects a valid C&P from a credible source just because it is a C&P either has educational issues or really does not want too learn and at most only wants to their hand held and walked through some step or problem without actually learning anything about it, like what different things can cause it, what are early signs of it, what various affects it can have on plants and what actually happens within the plants that causes visible signs that there is a problem, what other problems it might cause that could turn into a chain reaction of problems, how to prevent it from occurring in the first place, etc.

A valid C&P from a credible source is no different than reading a few lines or a chapter out of a growing book written by someone with a PhD in horticulture or a some other cannabis researcher or very highly experienced long time grower. No one should ever reject information like that. It is not proof the person providing it does not know anything about it and even if by chance the person really did not personally know anything about it what would that matter if they still provided someone with valid accurate information from a credible source? Even if they did not know so much as one single word of the information they C&P'd if they took the time to do the needed research to locate the correct information then they have still helped the person and the person should be grateful for the accurate information provided to them.

I will never be capable of understanding why some people are C&P phobic as long as it comes from a credible source?

Greatly agreed here.. Creditable info is the best..

I bet these folks would say otherwise....

DUDE.... Like I said there is NOT (1) person in this state the has an Arizona Medical Marijuana Card.... That site and like many others they are MOCK UPS for when the law is into effect... The process will take up to (2) months to get your Card after APRIL 2011... Get your shit straight... I live here and know this... There are MOCK UP dispensaries too... YOU DONT know what you are talking about...

 

[Brick Top]

To get to what I am trying to say is I am always ready to learn from someone with the acquired knowledge through experience... Oppose to someone giving you BS about nothing... I have no patience for BS...

Since you put so much importance and emphasis on experience, just out of curiosity, would you take the word of some stranger on a site like this, even one say, like me, someone with nearly 39 years of growing experience, over the word of someone with a PhD in horticulture who has never grown cannabis before but who did learn about it while being educated and who could tell you every little thing about every single cell and function of cannabis plants?

Experience is one thing, and it is important, but it will never be enough to be more useful or important than actual true irrefutable knowledge, the knowing of scientifically proven facts.

In reality, you can only learn but so much in a basement or a store room or a spare room or a garage or a closet or a tent or a greenhouse or a backyard.

At least it is not as bad as the thread where a guy started 8 plants in a chandelier and then transplanted them into a pink and white picnic basket with just a couple inches of soil in it that was on top of a stack of books that was on top of a stool that was on top of a table .. all to keep his plants near his only light source, his chandelier with a few weak CFLs in it, and used bedsheets, one some sort of jungle print, for reflective material .. asked for help and advice and then rejected it all, called everyone who tried to help him morons and claimed to know more about growing than people who have grown for decades ... even though he had admitted it was his first attempt at growing.

Compared to that thread .. this one is top notch, it's great.

Do you mean the guy that started with the 8 plants in his bedroom chandelier and then transplanted them into a pink and white picnic basket with just a couple inches of soil in it that was on top of a stack of books that was on top of a stool that was on top of a table .. all to keep his plants near his only light source, his bedroom chandelier with a few weak CFLs in it, and used bedsheets, one some sort of jungle print, for reflective material who said he was trying to form a league of growers and who was basically laughed off the site after his thread was closed after someone found his personal information and posted it including YouTube videos of him trying to play mixed martial arts fighter guy?

If so it was tafbang and his closed thread, minus the removed personal information, can be found here. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/391149-8-plants-1-pot.html

I just threw some goodgood bagseeds in my chandelier with miracle grow and I have 8 babies looking pretty sexy..

MY CHEEKS HURT FROM LAUGHING SO HARD!

 

[Favre2Harvin]

Hey man wheres your wk 2 photos??

 

[Brick Top]

I just threw some goodgood bagseeds in my chandelier with miracle grow and I have 8 babies looking pretty sexy..

MY CHEEKS HURT FROM LAUGHING SO HARD!

The thread covered all emotions. At times it was hilarious, other times it was filled with hate and rage and other times it was as sad and painful as watching a baby drown.

I laughed, I cried, I almost died ... as the old movie review line goes.

A few times I almost had to step outside and head to the nearest bushes to toss my shorts in them because I nearly soiled myself from uncontrolled laughter.

If you look far enough into the thread you will find pictures of when his plants were limp and wilted so he placed a bar of red or pink soap on top of the couple inches of soil in his picnic basket to perk up his plants.

and I'm thinking these seeds are clones because I got them all from high grade....

 

[Brick Top]

and I'm thinking these seeds are clones because I got them all from high grade....

Don't you mean ... I'm thinking these seeds are from plants grown from clones?


If you got seeds from female plants grown from clones then either someone intentionally pollinated the plants or the plants turned hermi in flower. Do you know which it was?

If; "high grade" meant high grade bagseed then they are likely from a hermi or three.
