Well I've been growing since before the Internet and I've been on forums since the beginning. During this time I've heard alot totally ridiculous advise and simply bad information. I thought i would start a thread listing crazy things you've heard so feel free to add to it.
First, IMO starving your plant at the end of flowering to rid it of nitrogen is a load of crap. Starve it for smoother smoke and to decrease leaves. Ridiculous. I've done it both ways and when I don't starve a plant it always produces more. Plants do need nitrogen in all phases of growth. I've never tasted any difference in a plant that was "starved" and a plant that was not. Smoked the same either way. When i give a plant a balanced meal through it's entire life it is always, not sometimes, but always a better producer than plants that are mistreated, err I mean starved.
Please add your favorite wives tales and bad information so some beginners can avoid bad advice.
