STOP OVER FEEDING YOUR PLANTS AND LOOK AT THIS!

Getting good soil to come alive and keeping it that way is NOT cheap and is not hohum work. It takes time and money.

You forgot to mention "for cannabis". Somehow everything about cannabis is expensive, yet any other plants, and it's a non-issue. Our beds are full of happy soil, all our plants thrive, need nothing but rain and an occasional water, and it cost pennies to do and little to no effort to get to that stage. Yet get a bed to grow some cannabis in and suddenly it requires much money and super soil recipes and fancy products and yada yada. Most of growing cannabis is bullshit profiteering.
 
ya seed plants grow anywere wonder if you would have had the same results with a clone. my cousin lives near the sf/bay and his soil is super rich his back yard is like a ancient clam bed. he doesnt feed them at all really but ive noticed his clones doesnt do as good as the seeds and they show signs of deficiency were the seed plants dont.
 
For clones it really depends on a lot of things. Like how much you let them root before you transfer them.. but in reality a clone is just that.. an exact copy of its parent.. there for it should do just as well.. it seems like people have been brain washed into think marijuana is something that requires magic to grow really well... sorry people its just like every other plant

Clones do not contain a taproot. That can make a big difference. Seed plants roots can grow deeper into soil pulling more water and nutes into the plant than a clone. Especially in a drought.
 
I'm fairly sure if it was watered on a regular basis and was rooted well before being transplanted it would probably do just as well as the bag seed I put in the dirt

But what if you can't get there to water on a regular basis. Taproots can go deep and search for more water. Fibrous roots cant
 
Ya I think nutrients help in some ways but not like tripling in size and weight. If I could only buy goodies for my soil or add store bought nutrients and fertilizers I would take soil amendments all day. I have never really used nutrients. Just water. Bloom nutrients that probably don't make a huge difference. I grew up watching my dad's friend grow tons of plants and all he does is water them. Plants them right in the dirt. He gets 15 footers easy maybe more. I mean his dirt might be good but it ain't fuckin magic soil. I now live in colorado but grew up in nor cal and saw my share of outdoor growers. They didn't use any of the commercial nutes. Compost and maybe bat shit. That's all. Ten pound plants. Anyways that is just my personal experience and what I have witnessed. People forget it's not a competition, you don't win anything for having the biggest plant.
