HAHAHA! Right?! I was curious to see how his plants turned out. Someone posted a link to another forum he popped up on and it was like you and everyone else who tried to help him, would expect. https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/double-trouble.135832/#post-2763230
He even made a video and one of my comments made the cut. I'm personally honored. To be fair, at first I appreciated dude's "buck the status quo" spirit (which I think a lot of us have), but then he got a bit aggressive and things took a sour turn. Too bad...
I saw someone dropped a link to his grow on another forum. Poor girls...and boys looked a bit rough. If only there was an electronic meeting space where experienced growers could share tips and impart their experience and knowledge onto people who are open to learning and accepting constructive...
Your stuff looks great! Sorry for the delay, been offline for a bit dealing with work stuff for a bit. To asnwer your question, Yeah! I just finished up a bit ago. Here's a couple pics of some trimmed nugs. Got some great purple hues out of mine and they were super frosty.
The water/air improvement was pretty much what I had concluded. The medium didn’t seem as compact either and I noticed more uniform root development. I just get perlite now as a standard because it works for my setup.
Interesting, not quite sure what I must have been doing wrong then. The only thing I changed up between my grows was adding the perlite to my coco mix.
I tried to grow in straight coco and ran into problems. I switched up to Mother Earth coco with 30% perlite. HUGE difference in the outcome.
I support the dudes on here saying to mix perlite. It keeps the medium from compacting, ensures oxygen gets to the roots, and helps with proper water...
Exactly, everything else looks similar to mine. The lighting is the only dramatic difference I see.
One of the white papers I read said that the optimal output for growth without stressing plants is 942umol. I’ll try to find the link and post it here.
Yep, I veg no less than 10-12. I want beefy branches before going into bloom. If you’re using sticks to hold your buds up you’re either doing it REALLY right or you’re doing it wrong. Ha!
250 watts isn’t going to yield much and he’s had the same lighting across multiple grows. If he’s getting a constant result, then I would personally start with lighting. Micromoles matter.
Nothing he’s written leads me to believe he’s done anything wrong. Leaves aren’t showing stress, he’s in...
