It's All Bullsh*t

it's pretty much whatever you feel works best. i have found, over the years, that "confidence" is the best kept grow secret.

last year i went to the horse stables and got a load of straw and manure. i tilled all that in. got a little pig/chicken poo as well. not as much as i would have liked to though. i toss all my old stalks and stems and trimmings out there as well. my soil is native clay so i'm trying to add different thing that will help break it up, more then anything. as far as food is concerned i can feed with organic nutes to supplement anything the soil lacks. i am mostly concerned with the texture and consistency of my medium. i want my soil loose enough to allow easy root growth, but firm enough to still hold up the weight of the plants. i've had plants uproot themselves in the past due to loose soil.

the main thing is is to try to keep it simple.

i went back and looked at my pics. i don't remember what was in that clear bag. i'm sure it wasn't just "bark", though that is what it looks like. maybe it was something i had laying around.
K. Thanks. Last year, I got a little anxious. I was using reg mgro by itself, fed a little veggie nutes, then a few weeks later, saw white hairs, dick got hard, fed some bloom booster, and burnt the shit out of my biggest girl. Learned a big lesson there. Cause just 2 years ago, I harvested 12 oz's dried off of one in that same spot, with miracle gro, and some other cheap non nuted soil. Didnt feed it but once. And that was late in flowering. Now I know to just LEAVE THEM BITCHES ALONE!

often, the worst thing you can do to a plant is to try to make it "better". ;)

If I can get my plants to look like yours, anything else would just be getting greedy imo. I laughed when that dude said if you boosted them and put them in in some bigger containers, they'd be even bigger. Wtf? He must be smokin blunts like cigarettes. lol

is this thread sticky worthy?
Yes. Plants need enough nutrients to stay in optimal nutritional health, not a bunch of bullshit snake oil.

Fancy elaborate nutrients systems that do not produce a result worth the cost of the products are the single biggest scam in growing. Everyone needs to beware of this.

Too many growers are spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of junk products that can often do more harm than good. Awareness needs to be raised. Because for the most part, it's all bullshit!

This thread is the best discussion of that around. For that reason, sticky!

whats in the tub fdd?



they grow themselves. just water them with food. that's it. the nute industry has gotten us. boosters and bloomers and carb load and sugars. it's all bullshit. this is a simple plant. it has been genetically bred to produce the finest product. why will no one believe in the genes. let the plant do it's own thing. i'm not adding sugars or enhancers. why? it prime weed already. so much goes into breeding yet they lead you to believe you need all these products to produce. it's bullshit.

goldfish. they are getting big now. i've been feeding the shit out of them lately. i want to get a few more tubs and connect them together. they make indestructible fish ponds. we tried all different plastic ones in the past and they failed. you can see the rebuilt pond in the beginning of this vid, ...

I can't imagine trimming those things. How do you do it? Those are beautiful as always. Especially the ones to the left of the ladder.
