It's All Bullsh*t

Yea Fade

Just think how bodacious your buds would be if if you looked down the road a little bit.

Time to wake up and smell the salt in the gitzit

While cannabis has a relatively low amount of pest problems, they are not impervious to everything. So even though you are growing great plants right now I think you should look down the road a little bit. Just trying to be helpful here. By limit growth you mean your yield? Or height of plant? THC or CBD levels? You know that genetics can solve the majority of those problems, or simple training for the height problem. I know that there is always room for improvement, I can't fathom how you could disagree with that. Maybe fishing is your main hobby, and worm castings would actually feed that hobby as well! Its all about sustainability...

Why would he want to fix a system that isn't broken? His plants don't look malnourished, no reason to further fertilize. Why would worm castings or any other fertilizers give plants that are already in good nutritional health more resin production?

1. I am not saying his system is broken.
2. He would be feeding the beneficial microbes in his soil.
3. I never said castings or fertilizer would increase resin production; I was referring that most of the attributes people give to their fertilizers, is actually all breeding. So to limit growth he could use a strain that limited whatever he was trying to limit. Resin production, height of plant, branching, yield, etc. This is all strain dependent

What the casting teas do is feed the soil. Instead of a bunch of botrytis living in the area, it will have to compete with the microbes that live there. Just one example of how beneficial these teas are.

Well, with all that said, I now invite the people who disagree with me to be vain. FDD grows 100% perfect plants. There is nothing he can do to improve any aspect of his hobby. Are you glad you hit that wall? I don't think you could ever actually have a problem with your plants, because your ways are so perfect. Anybody that wants to get into growing, buy exactly what fdd has and you will get the same exact results! Growing plants can be perfected, and the key is all right here!!!!!

So then why fix it?

If his plants are already healthy, why keep adding stuff?

I'm aware of what they do. I use them. But if he doesn't have botrytis living in his soil, then isn't that fixing a problem that doesn't exist?

Says the guy trying to fix something that doesn't need fixing because he considers his own system to be "the way it's done".

Improving your grow isn't about how much stuff you can poor into your soil necessarily. There are still always things you can do to make your grow better. Growing good bud isn't just about what you feed your plants.

Sure, he could spend more money on soil additives, but besides fixing problems that don't exist, what is that really going to do to make it "better"?

The idea that you can take perfectly healthy plants and make them even more healthy by adding more stuff to the soil is flawed logic. If you're body is protein deficient, you can eat a steak and replenish your bodies protein supply. But if you eat 30 steaks that's not going to give you more of a health benefit than eating one steak. You need a certain amount of protein and that's it. Same with plants. If your plants already have the necessary amount of nutrients they need they don't become more healthy by adding stuff. Worm castings won't kill a bacteria that already doesn't exist.

At a certain point all you're doing is wasting money. If your plants are healthy doing what you're already doing you're not going to make them more healthy by adding more stuff.

Are you glad you hit that wall?

What about his grow leads you to believe he's hit a wall due to lack of soil amending?

This is the mentality that makes this thread necessary. The idea that you can always make your grow better if you keep adding more and more crap to it is just a myth creating by people who want to sell you more products.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying worm castings never provide a benefit. I'm saying don't buy more crap than you need. If your plants are in ideal health without them, spending more money on stuff to dump into your soil isn't going to make them more healthy.

Growing is about making plants as happy as possible. If they need worm castings or some nutrient to be happy, then give it to them. If your plants are already happy then just kick back and let them be happy.

Sorry I came here to give some suggestions, but all I got was a bunch of vain feedback. Please don't twist my words any more that you have.

well dont do it in the way u did
or say it in the way u did
