Nice hidden dig at me there, but no need to be a dick, me and UB had a somewhat heated debate on that thread but its definately not the sort of thing to get someone banned...if the mods came down heavy on him, then they cant use that thread as an excuse, its was heated but mainly civilised.

He wasn't digging on you, He's saying that the greedy jerkoffs here like their money more than they like their information to be truthful. He got banned because he was dissing one of their frigging sponsors, thats it. As usual, money talks truth walks!! At least, here at riu!! Uncle ben has always had it out for highpriced "cannabis specific" nutes that are just frigging molasses watered down with a little nitrogen added!
 
I didnt once hit report so why you getting all worked up with me? And dont start me on the nutes argument, he seems to have it out for everything that doesnt fit into his little "paradigm", perhaps thats why he got banned? I respect the grower, but his attitude is pretty foul.

So where is the "hidden dig" there, and why is he being a dick talking about the sponsors telling noobs not to waste money? Get a grip, bro, stop being so defensive especially when there is no harm there is no foul!

Sounds like you are a little pissed at ub for arguing about nutes, or the way you use them. Smoke a joint and relax, dude , life is too short for stupid shit like this.

No offense Shady but prodding and poking your plant with sheers to train them down isn't the best way. LST is best done when you simply tie it down once and get the stress over with. I know plants are resilient but it can't be helping them at all by doing what your doing but that's just my opinion. Otherwise they look great
 
I usually FIM instead of topping. This seems to work much better for me. I FIM'ed this plant and then tied down a few of the branches to let in light and ended up with 7 tops. Theres 6 main ones showing... adn the 7th one is hangin a lil lower than the others. but the funny thing is that the one that hanging lower than the rest is the fattest one. lol. im gonna tie it up soo its evern with the rest. I also did a lil bit of super cropping as well. (bending a couple branches over) Its good to do a little bit of each..I FIM'ed 1st.. then i bent 2 branches over..then tied down 2-3 branches.. heres the pics 3 Weeks into flowering.

Totally off topic but that warlock needs fed.....


UB spoke the truth about canna-hype and the whole industry. He will be missed greatly. Pretty peeved he got banned but I was not there and knowing but ppl involved I imagine it got pretty heated. FDD is a good guy just trying to protect what rolli and the guys built here .. in the end that means sponsors ... unless all you greatful stoners are willing to "donate" tot he cause? No? K ...


Carry On ...
 
Hey posted under Newbie and general marjuana growing, but not much action. My plants are 18 days into veg from clones. Some clones (quarazytran) are short and squatty with plenty of tops. The powerkush are longer christmas tree types. Too late to "top' the plant as this is usually done when clone has 5 to 6 internodes and you take it off at the true 2nd, for additional tops.

I have 15 of them in a 4x8 tent with 2 600 watt hids, they are getting bushy and crowded..so should flup soon.

Questions are:
If I FIM now, should I give more veg time before flipping, in order to develop those additional sights?

For the short squatties, with several tops, should I even bother Fimming them?

Also, supposed to keep the bottom third of plant bare, to keep everything focused up top, however had multiple branches at the base that are quite thick.
Is it too late 18 days into VEG to prune off the bottom third of plant?
Thanks anyone!!!!

I don't see why it's too late to top, you want your plants to have a healthy root system and large healthy leaves. I would possibly top and use it for a clone. FIMing is unpredictable at best.

I can tell your new to growing, your best bet is to several pages into this thread where Uncle Ben replies to peoples questions. One will learn VERY quickly what horticulture is all about by "lurking" on his posts. Leaves provide energy for your plants, by removing the bottom third of your plant, your reducing it's ability to manufacture energy. You're not feeding the buds with your fertilizers, the leaves are feeding the plant. Removing the bottom third of your plant 18 days into veg would be detrimental to your plants maximum potential

I'm sure you've also been told that you need cannabis super fertilizer magic juices as well.

I've been there and done it. I only wish I had the opportunity that you have right now. You have a chance to skip years of frustrating trial and error and the very impractical forum culture. You don't have to complicate things, it's rather simple.

https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-m...3131-boosters-additives-really-necessary.html Check out this thread and others, the fog will clear.


EDIT: Doogleef. I feel as if my mentor has been shot down by institution. UB has achieved Martyr status at RIU. IMO
 
Agent 47 is right on boondockpatriot. You need to pour over UB's threads to learn about the plant, NOT forum myths.

Agent 47, I agree on the BS of spoonfeeding Noobs, and banning UB, Bricktop, & Riddleme. There went near a century of veteran knowledge.

i hope this shi.t works i just took the hat off my cali orange, scary shit. can i use the top part i cut off as a clone by chance?
 
yeaa and ive realized using the top as a clone creates a pretty nice adn sturdy plant as well. well in my case anywayz. i took the top of a plant adn a side branch. adn the top clone grew alot better/healthier adn rooted faster.
