I apologize if i had attempted to make anything more complicated than it already is.. But plenty of growers also "train" their plants. And it is no way "more" advanced than raising all 3 plants to the same height..

I had only mentioned this "possibility" as he asked for advise. 6" difference in canopy isn't much. Because it is 6" and the OP had mentioned that the plants started to show flowers it wasnt detrimental to "train" them...Training is no more difficult than topping, or pruning them. It also doesen't require damaging the plant. A piece of string tied to the plant in 2 places would be much less work than stacking books under 3 plants, No?

Besides, Everyone is entitled to offer an opinion as this is what the OP asked for "opinions". Yes there is disinformation, and it is our job to call people on it. But just because someone offers an opinion that is not inline with your own, does not necessarily mean they are completely wrong. It may just be their method of choice. So lets let the OP make whatever choice he wants and assure he gets the right information to make an educated decision yes?!
And help a man grow some weed!:weed::leaf:

If you don't do it his way, or you use a term that he doesn't approve of, your a weed baron. Don't you get it?

Six inches can be quite significant when dealing with HPS, as the OP is.

But why go to the trouble to train AUTOFLOWERS when space is not an issue?

The simplest solution was the correct one in this instance. So simple the Weed Barons here can't fathom it.

I do not recall stating that at all.

When did I say I disapproved of any term?

What I disapprove is throwing around terms and techniques which are irrelevant to the topic and thus only serve to confuse new growers.

LST is a fine technique. As is supercropping.

But neither apply here.

Perhaps you should actually read my posts before "trying" to mis-characterize my position. :dunce:

Why would I cry? Weed Barons have absolutely NO effect on my grow.

Weed Barons harm new growers just trying to make it through their first grow. If you want to cry, cry for them.

Nobody cares how clever Weed Barons think they are.

can i be a weed baron? ...............sounds awesome

Sure!

Lurk around a few cannabis forums and take note of any terms and techniques related to growing.

It's better if you have no idea what they are.

Then sign up and start throwing around those terms and techniques whenever possible.

Jumbling up techniques is effective, too.

It's especially fun to mix soil terms & techniques with hydro. That's an oldie but a goodie. And it really befuddles the new growers.

Bonus points for posting in threads with 'first grow' in the title.

I did read your posts, What I got was, it's your way or nothing else is good, you want your pie and nobody else can have any,it's cool.

Then that is YOUR impression. Incorrect though it is.

What you 'got' has no bearing on what I actually wrote.

Perhaps you should read my posts AGAIN.

Eyes open this time. :-P

no, assholes like you make the cannabis forums on the internet suck, crazies that harbor hate and negativity and unleash it upon others over the internet when they dont agree exactly with what you have to say, just like you do all the time. why dont you stick to the politics thread where you can spout your craziness and attack people that dont agree with you.

another note,lets just think about your great advice. ok lets say we take your advice. i would rather just go in and bend one stem down than have to go and get all this shit that i pile into the grow room under the plants. lets say we use books, now that is a great way to grow mold and bring other pests like silverfish or other bugs. the paper of the books will really adsorb the moisture well and start to rot ( and it will give the bugs a great place to lay eggs and eat). why would i want to have to fuck with the three other plants just for the one that is different. if one was shorter than the rest, then it would be easier to just raise the one, but why raise three when you can just tie down or bend the stem of one plant. that really sounds like it is keeping it simple.:clap:

:clap::clap:
Like i said a piece of string is pretty simple... even for someone not yet ready to "bend" and "pinch" a stem or two.. seems most "logical step here"
An irrelevant technique would be something like telling him to "top" the plant late in flower (DONT DO THAT BTW)
Matter of fact i see more people "training their plants than putting books under them...TBH

no dispespect to anyone but johnny is right. the beginner needed help for a specific problem and he got the easiest solution that benefitted him without doing something durastic that he could potentially ruin in the end.. once again i am not taking sides supercropping like i mention before in the thread sounds great but for this peticular kid johnny had the best answer. if the kid wasnt such a beginner he would have been asking questions about supercroppin or bending and then we all could have replied to that. but hes not growing hydro and he doesnt know how to supercrop or tie em down so lets help him out instead of freakin on eachother eh? im sure none of this is helpin the guy who started the thread.???

i should have kept my computer shut too because im about to be lynched( i hope not ) for trying to keep peace when were helping a newbie! newbie take notes and do whatever you feel like thats why this place exists because what works for one person might be totally wrong for the other, and for that matter i believe all advice on here is valued and yes anyone can say anything at any time that is the beauty of it you get to decide for yourself what to do...

Nothing entertains me more at this moment than the sniveling of whiney-pussy Weed Barons.

Why are you so angry? The OP was satisfied. So what is it exactly?

Is it because the OP chose not to be baffled by the bullshit of Weed Barons?

Is it because the solution was not overly complex and confusing?

Are your feelings hurt because JohnnyOrganic pissed in your Weed Baron corn flakes?

Think about it.


Looks like you are taking your own advice. :clap:

Fine.

Because I will post here until doomsday if it pleases me, or until a Mod closes the thread; whichever comes first.

And all you will be able to do about it is piss and moan.

More wishful thinking.

Unfortunately for you, Mr. Homophobic Weed Baron, that's not how I roll.


Another for the collection!

What you clowns don't understand is I am performing public service.

1) All the time you are focusing on me means you are not ruining newbie grows with your Weed Baron quackery.

2) By you self-identifying as Weed Barons, the newbs can better know who to avoid.

This thread just might be a sticky contender.


Weed Barons find this funny? :sad:

Fuck....

That comes very close to crossing the line. Don't be surprised if it gets reported.

I won't do it, but someone else probably will.
Click to expand...
you should probably report yourself as THAT IS A POSTER ON THE STREET!!!! And if you think its crossing the line you should go whine about it to someone who cares... i have et to see ANY of your "contributions" to ANYTHING other than criticizing Everyones posts... oh ya Im a weed baron wooooo im so whats that word ya baroney woooo LOL
I Have MORE research in my 1st thread than you have in your whole time on RIU
its people like you and FDD who abuse others for personal gain/Ego stroking that make this site loose great people with real experience...
