    I concur. Wrapping up my second grow. Had to give most of the first grow away. My problem is, I enjoy cultivating this soilless media / nutrients so much that I’m more hooked on growing than consuming.

    Is this nutrient burn?

    Could be nitrogen toxicity with EC readings that high.

    Sounds like they’re still going at it from different angles, as they should.

    Strongly considering purchasing the "Optimizing The Root Zone" class. Curious to see if the university is doing anything different with their research since he released his popular video.

    The United States of America?

    America terrorizes itself. It’s become what it hates. Hoping we can all get it together, soon.

    Understood. You can always dial in your PH & EC by following his parameters. It's slightly intimidating and perhaps counterintuitive but you're gaining knowledge from a scientist. As with anything, the more you do it, the more you know what works best for you.

    I personally didn't. Although I've read that is a good thing to do.

    He's a wealth of scientific knowledge. I followed his recipe the best I could in my first grow with good results (2 plants - 7 oz). He's now offering a paid online course in cannabis cultivation. I'm tempted to enrol.

    YOU choose what I grow.

    No matter what anyone says, the choice is yours.

    Yes. I did use 20-10-20 throughout. Although after the first feed, the top set of leaf tips turned slightly yellow. I suspect there was a slight shock when the nuits were first introduced Others in this thread experienced the same thing and advised slowly ramping up the fertilizer component over...

    First time grower here. Very pleased with the results. I didn't find pelletised gypsum either. Not saying it's negligible, but I added the powdered form. It's the smallest amendment, probably won't make or break your grow but add what he recommends, quantity-wise, regardless. Worked for me.

    Interesting. Which strain(s) were you growing? Were you able to use 20-10-20? My grow was successful without too may curveballs thrown but I was growing Blue Mystic which is apparently a good hardy plant for a first time grower.

    Preferred time of year to grow?

    Thanks OldMed for the tip. I'll keep them inside. They're going stay indoor kids.

    Preferred time of year to grow?

    I just started my second grow in a 2x4 tent with a short break after my first grow which began in December. Being in western Canada there are obvious differences most noticeably with temperature in and around the grow tent. Since it's warm, I was thinking of bringing my plants outside, part...

    Looks to me like you guys are on the same page. Maybe guitar hit the wrong reply button?

    That seems to be the consensus - Harvesting slightly ahead of full ripening seems to have an impact on smell and taste. I’m taking the low and slow drying approach. I have one plant harvested slightly before its prime, as well.Will be interesting to do a side by side comparison to the other...

    Great question as this is my first grow, as well. Variables include dry vs wet trim. Apparently drying the whole plant intact with most, if not all leaves, preserves the fragrance and flavour. My understanding is it's best to first dry at low temperatures with humidity between 45-55% for at...

    I wondered the same thing. Someone asked that exact question in the YouTube comments in his "maximising cannabis growth video". The response was, yes. From veg to the end. The nutrients are pretty diluted as long as you slightly overwater. That is key.
