"I have grown several times over 5 years."
I have grown full time for 13, I try not to be aggressive in the way I do my grow as everyone that does it different isn't an idiot.
Heck, just what I have learned this year alone is staggering. The first seven years were just prep for the next five.
My benign approach does cause derision at times, nonbelligerent behavior is called weak. Fine, but leaving my ego in the kitchen while in the growroom has made quite the difference.

and i live in an area where there are growers. humbolt, tahoe, grass valley. i know growers from all over. i know 2 legal ones right near me. some of these guys have been growing for 20 years and they dont know shit. ive been growing for 5 and have no problem acting like a dumbass, while everyone tells me stuff. look at my pics. im not the best but, please. im looking at some of you guys pics and, shit its pitiful. if im so new at 5 years, then how did i get all these plants to put out 3 oz or more of sellable smoke? 80% of my plants are strong, healthy and not discolored and curling at the end of my flowering. someones going to tell me thats bullshit too but, my pics prove it. i would like to be nicer about it but everytime i let down my guard, some idiot comes in talking smack. its mostly the scientists that start treating me like theres no way and im an idiot. i should grow some more whisky/pot. last water before harvest, put i cup of whisky in 1 gallon of water. wait 1 hour and harvest. either pay me to find out what happens or try it and tell me if im crazy.

Min 15 celsius or the plant almost stop growing, 21c is optimal and 24c when light is on.
over the years i have gone as low as 52 ish without any issues. good colors and compact buds.
im sorry that proves nothing except that you took a picture of a plant at some time in the past.
comparisons work by showing before and after.
i've been growing more than 5 years as have many people here. and im not trying to cause a shitstorm of any sort but a lot of what you are saying is contradicted by actual experience. open a new thread and ask everyone whats the most epsom they put per gallon. no one is going to tell you they used anywhere near 3tablespoons per gallon, thats toxic.
i saw you mention something about shitty looking plants at harvest...
thats the point. leaves turn yellow and fall off trees and plants and bushes in the fall. this is the end of life cycle...no exception for weed. you can chop all the green weed you like but they aren't really done imho till they start turning yellow and the leaves drop.

Waiting for the leaves to turn yellow is not a good indication that the plant is ready to harvest... I have plants that if I waited for the leaves to turn yellow it would be way past there prime harvest time... As long as they have received a good flush leaf color wont matter..

i dont flush. no need to for soil. the plant turns stuff into stuff, it doesnt actually take it all in. maybe hydro is diff.
flushing is just stopping the food the last 2 weeks and using ph adjusted water..If your feeding up to harvest your wasting the nutrients and will make the flowers taste like shit. If that what you like more power to ya ..

and i knew you wouldnt believe anything i said even though i told you that i dont lie. i dont need to convince you of anything. i tasted the water with 56grams in it. what do you mean toxic? i didnt even taste anything. and its only 1 (one) tablespoon away from the norm. anywhere near? really? cuz the norm is 2! thats two. i dont think you know what your talking about. leaves dont turn yellow, "unless you went to sleep at harvest time". does the flower shops sell you flowers that have yellow and wilted leaves? do you buy ANY product, that has yellow and wilted leaves? that means that you either expired your soil, or you leached it, or theres salt build up, or any number of things. its YOU, that made them wilt. i know, every time that i mess up, which is often. what i did with the salt is a trick of mine called "shocking". it wasnt the first time ive done it. i dont need to ask anybody anything about my salt. i already know, and have proven it to myself a few times. theres a process if you would have inquired further. like i said, conventional wisdom doesnt "always" apply. there are many paths from point A to point B, and not everybody is in a big assed hurry.

well, that makes sense, but i dont feed either. i dont transplant and i dont vegg.

and i dont ph either because i use distilled. im not a conventional grower. im more like a quick camando. it gets picked at 70 days wether its ready or not. some get ready sooner, and i have no problem harvesting then.
i have found flushing with phed water a waste of time. i use tap. but i am organic soil. i dont ph anything. matter of fact i got rid of all my meters years ago

exactly. i like your grow style. i dont use tap but, the rest of it works.

Genetics my friend.. Sure the closer the light the better. Most breeders want short internodal length that puts more bud sites on the plant.. I have allot of them growing right now. Reminds me of a cabbage plant. if the growth is to compact the sites under all the foleage wont get enough light. Im seeing that now. when I move it all you can see the color is a lighter green... This is one of them. Been vegging 1 month and is about 7" tall and 12 wide
What a beast, looks like a knockout, relaxing strain. Short timer, less than 60 days to finish no doubt. I wonder what the lineage is.
Is this your first run of this strain?
That is BOG SLS.. This is the first time I have grown SLS...
