LOL. The "Veteran's" method of growing reminds me of Cartel's guerrilla grown weed (Mexican weed):I am a veteran, but wanted to start a thread to show any newbie or anyone can grow these plants. Simple grow, cheap, dirt cheap and it works. I started with some bag seed from a friend, some mids, so not some swag.....
1. Germinating
What i do is i take a paper towel fold it to a square so it can fit in a ziploc bag, get it wet and put the seeds on the paper towel fold it once and cover the seeds up. Make sure paper towel is wet and put in a plastic baggy. I have heard people say put it here or they wont germinate. I have put them on top of the fridge, outside, in a dark closet....and always get seeds to sprout.
2. Planting
I just buy Organic miracle grow dirt from Home Depot or Lowes. Maybe like 6 bucks. Get soil moist and use a pen tip to put a little hole in top of soil, careful not to go to deep, maybe as deep as an eraser head. Always put seed in sprout down, they will have a white tail which is the seed starting to sprout. Cover up the seed lightly and water very delicately so not to move the seed around in the soil.
And thats pretty much all folks. I put my finger in the soil to check how dry they are before watering. I leave them outside and there fine. No nutrients, no nothing. Its just a weed, let it do its thing.
Tips, i do add sand to the soil to allow for good drainage. I top my plants to keep them short and bushy. People say you have to let it grow so long before you can top, i top at 3 nodes including codleyn and no issues ever. I water with tap water, no checking ph, no confusing science...its just a plant lol.
And using the MG,Because he is probably 15 years old, claims to be a veteran , shows three puke ass seedlings and a couple of flowering plants in a Styrofoam cup . Look at the grows shown here. You think someone wants to listen to this shit ? Specialy a newbie who really wants to learn to grow good pot. He should of posted in general or the newbie forum and take his crap post out of here.
And using the MG,
Last time I went to Home Depot, the Scott's sales rep was there. As I was purchasing peat, we struck up a conversion regarding their miracle-grow line-up.
I told him I used MG many years ago, then moved on.
His response, "I hope so, the MG product line was originally created for beginners".
https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/703529-bat-guano-lady-bugs.html#post9443559I still use mg organic soil... I find it cheaper to buy mg soil, than to mix up my own, and theres a lot less variables to it. I mixed up my own for years with pro-mix, worm castings, chicken shit, etc... And it worked, well... but unless I was growing 20-30 plants, it worked out to be waaaay more expensive than the mg stuff. That... and I've had a few bad bails of pro-mix. I also find I get less critters digging up my shit with the mg soil, than I did with the pro-mix and various types of shit soil. I really cant complain about the mg stuff at all.
But... I DO feed my ladies.... lol
^^^ Sunbiz you're a straight motherfuckin' gangster dawg!.. Your the real "vet" here... I've been waiting for that... hahahttps://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/703529-bat-guano-lady-bugs.html#post9443559
I could spend all day here regurgitating the 75% of the postings(which are incorrect)from new growers who think they know everything.
Including the above link.
Wasn't trying be a dick, but what good is this site when it's chock full of misinformation?.^^^ Sunbiz you're a straight motherfuckin' gangster dawg!.. Your the real "vet" here... I've been waiting for that... haha
Your my fuckin' RIU hero!
I bet people were like "dats da shit homie".I once grew a 25 foot plant in nothing but a pile of dog shit. I know your thinking how can I do that...well you cant I was able too because I was a veteran. It was awesome best 45 pounds of smoke I ever got
Dont know what youre implying? I dont and never have claimed to know everything.... If I did, I sure as hell wouldnt be wasting my time with a bunch of newbs on RIUhttps://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/703529-bat-guano-lady-bugs.html#post9443559

Ohh I know exactly what you mean bro.. Your just calling a "spade ".. "a spade" nothing wrong with that.Wasn't trying be a dick, but what good is this site when it's chock full of misinformation?.
What's funny is, I used to be one of the main culprits. I thought I knew everything, and didn't know shit...took me 3 years to un-learn all the myths I thought were facts. Like my old molasses thread in which I once stated it improved flavor and increased sugar content of THC...when all it really does is feed microbes.
Peace.
I only implied what you already posted:Dont know what youre implying? I dont and never have claimed to know everything.... If I did, I sure as hell wouldnt be wasting my time with a bunch of newbs on RIU
Just saying... the mg soil aint all bad....
So... Idk what your point was... maybe be a lil more clear... I am stoned after all
ETA: I am not a new grower, if thats what you were implying,,, I been growing for 20 years, without the help of the interwebz... I am here to learn, so if ya got something to teach me... go on.
I only implied what you already posted:
"Its my experience that plants whos branches snap easily are under watered. Maybe even root bound.
As far as the mites go... I have never had a mite problem outdoors, but indoors, usually just keeping the dust down, and the humidity level higher, and making sure the plants are well watered controls them fairly easy."
Which is incorrect.
