do by all means check my journal its on the bottom of my posts i think im doing ok so far tho or at least not bad for a start :DView attachment 3785285 View attachment 3785286 View attachment 3785287 View attachment 3785288 View attachment 3785289 View attachment 3785290 View attachment 3785291 View attachment 3785292 was just a theory as i said just like to try different things or maybe check peoples experiences nothing wrong with a bit of science lol
Plants in your photos look pretty good, but let’s be clear that your original post was proposing in no way “a bit of science” of any kind. It was just some fucking around. Science requires controls, methodology, understanding, shit like that. Gary beat you over the head with it for your own good already. Grow healthy plants. End of story.

Cannabis isn’t an alien unicorn goddess oracle, or the key to a unified field theory, or even a clue to reconciling quantum mechanics with general relativity...it’s pretty cool and all, but it is merely a fuckin’ plant and should be treated accordingly. No magic process is going to make your shit supafly, except honing your game for years and years.

I totally agree but the whole ice flush was based on some science so no harm in talking about it if he wants to know.

I guess that’s fair. I am a doucheface sometimes

I meant to say:
I get the frost simulation theory thing, but that’s an extremely premature optimization for almost every grower I have ever met, definitely including myself and many more with greater skills than me.

Cousin Wayne really like growing weed. He wasn't as up to date on all the science behind it though. He knew it flowered in the fall when it got colder. He figure one had something to do with the other, so he got his kids to freeze a few 2 little bottles of water everyday, and he would lay them where they would pour out on the roots when they melted. It must have worked, they always flowered.

I was told about something other day ,that I did not know what to do laugh or think erm sounds interesting ,a grower I know picks elderberries in the Autumn and put them in a blender and mixes with water when flushing ,he said he has done the same with blackberries,and it gets into the bud color wise ,ffs what next.

This is probably one of the better posts I've read in a long time. I get so annoyed at new growers trying all kinds of bullshit when they can't even grow a proper healthy plant.

Just yesterday I was reading an old thread and 2 dudes were debating the need for a water chiller in hydro. The pro chiller guy said how it has done wonders for his garden and then posted this pic

Smh but he's not worried about his over fertilization problems at all...

Sorry if this sounds rude op, but seriously, focus on growing a healthy plant. Learn all the basics and master them. That's all you need, let the plant speak for itself. Your job is just to keep it healthy till it's done.
I think dinners cooked.

I always thought the ice water guys were trying to drop temps to lockout phosphorus and get some purpling.
I know it as a way to perform a flush in the last couple days, kills nutrient transport.

I am far off and the guys who pioneered this stuff aint around to correct me.

Trying to achieve anytjing in the last days seems futile but i believe the original science was solid and worked. That said no flush works so it was just snake oil, intresting snake oil though, no harm in it.

Yep its fun to think about stuff anyway.
You can damage the roots and stop uptake with hot or cold water.
But the plant still has leafs,
Or you could also snatch them off.
But...

Then something else, bla, bla, bla
I don't know
