Thanks C6H6 I'm not worried or interested in what anyone thinks of my assistance. If they were critiquing equally across the board I'd agree but it's apparent it's my posts that receive the mouthy add ons. I could as easily chase their postings around & flame them I don't & MANY including all here have been wrong often. This is what creates the problem not my help or anyone else's.

They could tell you to use battery acid I would not flame them if they were actually trying to help. If they put down another poster within that post they're fair game. I didn't take lockmeup personally I gave my opinion one that I stand on. I'm not here for the thanks but will graciously accept them. I'm also not trying to run the ship or up anyone nor am I trying to write a book. If I wasn't getting flamed for my assistance on this forum we wouldn't be having this conversation.

well after the flushing they seemed to be just fine, their still alive and kicking, just growing slowly as a result of the stress early on i believe, but their recovering. check back in a couple days when i take some picture and ask for some advice, see how much they've grown. there still not perfect looking but their recovering thanks for the imput though.
rite now my problem seems to be finding that point in which to water them but like sirgrassalot said he lets his plants dry out compleately before he waters them which is what im trying to do, im getting really good at being able to tell when they are wilted and need a watering.
edit yes it was organic fert that i used.

I may of said that since you had watered than flushed, I didn't want your plants going through over watering compounding issues. It's a few pages back I don't know? Just to clarify I don't let let mine dry out completely & when I'm in Pro-Mix that's a definite no no. I do it by the look & feel so it's one of those things you get to know. The soil starts to move away from the edge of the pot - it's time than. Drier is better than wet the fans start blowing dust around. I think the plant can overcome being slightly dried out quicker than being soggy. Both could effect the plants yielding potential I would think if it happen often.

pedro48 I haven't tried the clear cups I have the Christmas green type. Damn things are top heavy. I rooted a clone in straight Perlite this week. It appears to be working, just trying it out.

correct me if I'm wrong but don't you run a risk of fungus in your soil using clear cups? I thought that the light getting through to the wet/moist soil could cause issues. I'm not speaking from experience, just an assumption I had because it is very important in hydro systems to not let any light to the roots.

I'm not bashing your methods. Those are lovely looking plants. I'm just asking an honest ? to clear things in my mind. Thanks.

Thanks CH for the props dude! totally!, the main reason why I am NOT growing right now is due to being ratted out, I was a medical grower and a friend of mine who I knew for over $+ years ratted on me and I got raided and you know the rest.

sirgrass seems to think he is above me just because I don't have a grow right now and he does.

I could find a lot more stuff to do with my time than be here, but I like being here and I am happy helping out other growers and he nor anyone will convince me otherwise to change my route, I will grow again someday and when I do, I can grow the dankest stuff I want to when I want to and how I want too!


Yes, you are very correct dontlockmeup, it also depends on your watering habits too, it's like medication, the clear cups may affect some people where it will not affect others.

I tried doing a test on it a long time ago and use those clear gallon ice cream containers and I found that when you watered a little more often algae growth was 2x the amount more likely to grow over than not.

I disagree with SirGrassaLot watering advice. You don't want to let plants dry out. See the fuzzy white root hairs on this plants roots? You let the plant dry out too much, you will kill those root hairs. Learn to feel the weight of a pot that is drying out. "Evenly moist" is the ideal. Light soil helps do this. Clear pots will help you learn to water. Tip: Water SLOWLY, else it runs down the sides and out the drain holes. Scuff the soil surface to aid water soaking in, and not beading up and running off and all around the surface. You'll be able to see as well as feel when a plant needs water. Clear pots help with transplanting too.

Good post there!!! I agree with you so much, except for the part about the use of clear pots, but I will agree they are very helpful for transplanting, they just slide right out of there perfectly, where with pots you got to squeeze or bump the pot to unstick soil that stuck to the pot.


With the soil being completely drying out, I would not advise it to go so dry where the soil looks like a drought hit it, if you use organics and let your mixture do this, you will have a hard time with getting the nutrients to work properly again, I read an article I will have to get and find it again, but it did not say why that was but I do know it has happened to some people who were underwatering on there plants

What you're above me hahaha you don't impress me that's all. I remember a little spiel you had about having a big mouth & that will lead to getting busted. I see you're talking from experience, the best kind. Far better than reading a book. That'll learn you maybe?? My friends respect me & I don't act like a know it all around them. You seem like a real bitch so I'm Not surprised they turned you in. They have no reason to rat on my grows they know nothing about. How are you dealing with being bipolar now??

Hey Assalot....your mouth is full of shit bro. Talking like this to a lady is uncalled for and downright disrespectful. I don't care who you are. Stitch is a highly knowledgeable and skilled grower. I watched her grows with amazement, years before you ever showed up here. Not to mention, the countless grows she has helped out in the infirmary. So shut the fuck up. Go ahead and give me neg rep, I don't care. I'll get it back in spades for telling you to back up. You seem to be the only bitch here.

Got news for ya there sir, you can get banned for playing games with the K going around giving people Neg K for no reason, just cause you get pissed cause people stick up for me or just because they vouche for me.

So, that just shows who the real ass is around here.

Thanks brothermonk for the kind words bro, really. It's good to know people stick up for others around here :yes:

No problem stitch. Just don't let the troll(s) get you down. You do a great job here helping desperate growers. Admin is aware of this jerk and will be keeping an eye out. It's only a matter of time now. It's got enough rope.....eventually it'll hang itself. BTW, thanks for the neg rep assalot....I got 5+ for the trouble lololol!

lol. oh look,everytime I post my follower comes to post next, funny how your on here all day long and you still have yet to understand how to grow.

Na, I don't think I am above the rules sorry you think that way, on the other hand it seems you think that way not I.
since you give out bad./wrong/shit advice nearly every post, I feel sorry for the person who takes it.

When you are wrong, you always later change your answer to make it look like you were right the whole time. You got a serious conscious problem if anyone has bi polar it's you.

There's some scales below your avatar. You can approve or disapprove of someones post by clicking on theirs. It adds up to catchy sayings when you hover the green blocks. Some people here treasure them, some disable theirs others are indifferent.
 
you might not have the ability to use the Rep feature yet. It is a small icon on the bottom of each post that looks like a scale. If you agree with a post or like the pics you see or for what ever reason you can click that icon and give the person that made the post rep points. same if you dislike or disagree with the post. You just have to click the appropriate box. I'm not sure but I think as your rep goes up so will the number of little green squares below your screenname on your post. I'm assuming when people call it K the K is short for karma. I'm not really sure about all this I sort of put it together myself. Someone who has been here longer might be able to give us the Skiny on K.

peace

looks like grassalot beat me to it.

I also noticed how assalot likes to diagnos like ten different problems for the symptoms. You deserve an Ataboy assalot for helping people by having them try several different cures before the plants even have time to react to the first one. Guess you'll always be right if you list every possible thing that could go wrong. Good Job Buddy. I'll come to you first when I want to kill off my plants.

peace.

Right On! :yes:


I apologize to the thread starter, for the off topic posts. How are the patients this morning? Are they showing any more improvement?

K came from Overgrow when it was running. Like stated above, it means karma. It's rep here, but some old habits die hard...like calling rep, K.

C6H6 once they get a root system established they should start to take off. Cannabis is fairly simple to grow you just need to follow some guidelines. I see the others are finding out I've been dead on lots of topics. Thanks very much your postings indeed keep me here helping.



Only a delusion bipolar twit would think I changed my diagnoses. Show some evidence or mind your own business you're making an ass out of yourself again. You're good at that. Lets look at it for what it is Cannabis & it's very easy to grow.

LOL, I nearly fell out of my chair in laughter reading this one!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see these " dead on lots of topic postings" you are refereeing too!
If you are dead on, it's because after others or I have given the diagnosis and YOU CHANGED YOUR ANSWERS (like you do with nearly every post) after the fact to make it look like you have said it all long.

Cannabis is only simple to grow if you look at it not like other plants, if you look at it like common plants it won't be an easy plant to grow.
