I know because I pwned your false prophet and you are embarrassed..obvious by your ignorant toons
No, really, no one cares. You're the only one carrying on about this. You posted your study, I get it. I agree with it. What else did your ego need today? Your sock puppet isn't enough?

Well it looked like when I replied , it wasn't directed to you until you made it so. I directed it to him, who posted on THIS thread.

just happened to be here when you posted your nonsense again. As much as you would like to think I am UB's puppet account, He lives in texas, I live in So cal. I have been here for like 4years, he has been here for like a 100 yrs.

I never said you were a puppet. You are a separate entity. You are you. I can tell.

EDIT: And if U think it's nonsense then just ignore or block me. You obviously take concern of my nonsense by responding to it. Maybe now when you see the word "spike" you have a better idea what someone is talking about. Learning something hurts your head too much?

If Some of you would actually read the thread instead of insulting each other maybe you learn something and for the people actually reading threads for knowledge would have less bullshit to read through. Why don't you guys just PM each other and meet at a motel 6 somewhere and get rid of the sexual tension. Just get the fuck out of here! BTW I don't care if you have something to say to me after this comment just keep it to yourself and move on with your pathetic lives. Now can we please start posting educational threads so we can help teach the new growers the right way to grow the flower we all love and stop bickering about dumbshit.

Note to self - "stop responding to the never ending newbie misguided defoliation threads and those who think they understand plant processes but don't."
Post # 19 above - That's when the thread went to shit Cartman, Mr Thread monitor

Ya I see what everyone has done. I notice alpha is more of a pruner/ lollipop guy with the scrog grow. Makes sense mostly. My plants are pretty damn healthy as I KISS them more then anything. Might as well get the experiments out of the way as I smoke like an oz. a year maybe. I'm going to, probably, prune/ defoliate one plant for fun to see why it does.
I am 2 ounce a month man. Experiments count, for me. Run two side by side and measure everything including the wet weight of the pruning.

Look at that more motor mouth, if this is about getting to 200 pages then why isn't it called (Lets reach 200+ pages RIU) I have one question what is the thread called?
Thats right nothing about reaching 200+ pages it started with a guy asking a simple question and lead to you idiots running your dick suckers.
Did you read the first post and then jump to pg 158? :dunce:

AND THEN, You totally do what you say we are doing, ANOTHER HIPPO CAT

MEOW

Which to be honest if you are giving the plants the nutrients they require for flower in the the correct ration the plant should start producing more flower than foliage and there should be no need to defoliate because if you cut the nitrogen down to a min low and increase phosphorus and potassium your foliage will decrease on growth and flower will increase. Your PH will directly affect what nutrients are being used by your plants, once you run a strain long enough you will learn what PH levels are best for nutrient uptake by your plants. Once you have learned this you will become successful without defoliating. Sometimes even though you are giving the plants a balanced NPK for flowering doesn't mean they are receiving the ratio that you are giving them, they could be using the nitrogen and leaving behind the essential nutrients to produce more flowers. Just saying keep and eye on nutrient uptake. I only defoliate with new strains in tight spaces where SCROG is needed and very lightly I might add. That's just my take on this thread take it or leave it.
No way, should anyone be cutting back on Nitrogen or increase P and K.

Those are also myths, that have to do with growing flowers that keep color and don't wilt, etc.

All this junk out of Netherlands is not for ganja. It is a commercial complication that goes back to the 1500s and Tulip growing. It is repurposed to rip off the ones that need Nutes. Myth.

I feed 16-16-16 with Ca/Mg/Si added myself and only change the concentration. No change, no shock. No 36 hr dark period, no flushing at the end. No change, no shock.

It is pretty simple to me. The Ganja Cowboys sell snake oil....because they can. If you want to know how to feed a bract like ganja, just check out how they feed when growing hops.

But, this is:

- not tomato, high water content fruit
- not roses, dormant all winter, blooms yearly
- not orchids, this is a ditch weed

Spend the first two weeks, getting roots, then feed everyday, stay out of the way. :)photo 4(2).JPG

I wasn't necessarily saying to cut back Im just saying PH affects nutrient uptake and sometimes your plants will use more of the less needed nutrients and less of the essential nutrients that are needed for the phase you are in.
