Nutrient collection.....Someone teach me.....

I don't get it.....why so many nutrients?? do you really think your plants need all of that? or were you just trying different things out and seeing what works best for you?

I got most (almost all) of that stuff at a indoor gardening expo (for free), and yes I do want to try out all the different ones I have to see what works best what is easiest and what is not worth buying.

Kind of like an experiment

Well if you want to do an experiment, you need to have a baseline to compare it to.

Have you had a successful grow? If so, with which what nutrients? If multiple nutrient lines have given you success, which one gave you the best results?

In my opinion, anything you've shown to be inferior should be thrown out. I would only use the best product I had on hand.

If I had multiple products with no idea which one was the best, I would just try one out and measure the results. Then try another set of nutrients on another grow and compare results to previous grow. Toss inferior product.

Just remember that if you really want to do a sound experiment you should be isolating variables and that means everything in your grows should be the same except what you want to compare (in this case, nutrients).

I have a few plants growing right now. They are just little babies at the moment so I have to wait and find out if I have any females. I am debating on whether to pollinate one of my females and stock up on seeds so I can start the experiment with many many plants so I can truly see results without having to many mixed variables or just take clones and start my experiment that way.

At the moment I only have 5 Good seedlings and out of those 5 only 2 are really shining and on top of that I still need to find out if I have females. I might not even get a female from those shiners.



As you can see only 5 out of the seedlings were good seeds.

So I need to decide either let my female (if I even get a female) get F**ked and stock up on seeds so I don't have to buy them or If I get an extremely healthy mom, take clones instead of letting her get pollinated.

By the way it is bag seed from a friend I do not know the strain. I was just told there were two different types of seeds in the bag.

no input on the pollination or cloning?

My nutrient Collection is getting quite....I dunno...larger than I thought. Teach me how to use it all!

Go through the collection. Choose 1 brand of grow nutrients. Choose 1 brand of bloom nutrients. Place in a separate box. Store the rest for now where you aren't tempted to start screwing with it.

This is getting good.

Ive only pollenated 1 time and just put pollen over a branch in plastic bag.
Worked great need all airmovement off or you pollenate your hole crop.
I got lucky and it werked,but really needed to Backcross as the strain
was AK47 x Juicy fruit and was not very stable alot of herms from em.

haha... still arent getting the point. Because something cost more than you want to spend does not make it over priced!!!!! Re-read that sentence another 50 times and maybe you'll understand where I am coming from. I never yelled at you... I simply gave you shit for making a statement that only someone with experience in using different brands of nutrients can make... and the experience good sir is what you lack to have any credibility to make such a statement. Just as if I said "fox farm products suck" (I've never used them) I would expect someone to call me out on it? Get it... prolly not.
