not to mention his Salt(sodium) mixing with CHLORINATED water.... if I'm not mistaken you just did a good job making sodium chloride which is a component in weedkiller.There is only like 10 active members out of 160,000 with more posts than I have, regardless though, post count has nothing to do with experience. I'm really curious what thread you read this in, so if you ever see it again, send me a link. Also, not minding the pH is bad... maybe even holding you back from producing more bud.
hahahah again.
where's that link at? Oh wait it doesn't exist because you made it up.... exactly like I thought.
Listen well Fractus.
Measuring my pH won't make it any better if there isn't a problem with it. Who's to say my pH isn't at an acceptable level right now? Until my plant tells me otherwise I'm going to let her go. Also, don't plants adjust to their environments, just like people? If I grew her all the way up to now at 6.1, then 6.1 is what it is used to and anything other than that would seem abnormal to it, would it not?
I can tell just by looking at the plant that it's not as good as it could be. Also, a plants ability to uptake nutrients at certain pH levels does not adapt. If the pH is off, the plant will never be able to uptake the nutrients. The plant doesn't treat the pH as a channel, and just change the channel to uptake the desired nutrients. You don't seem to understand how this works.
Don't worry GT supernoob is always right and knows more than everyone on this forum.
I concur.
I could not have said it better myself.I concur.
And what's shitty about that is several fold.
First and foremost, Fractus is a really smart guy and could be an excellent grower.
Second, I have really, along with MANY of us here, tried HARD to help you. Take it as praise; my HS football coach told me one time, "If I didn't think you were damn good and could be damn better, I wouldn't waste my breath yellin at you!"
And third, you are in a crucial phase in your grow. Doing things correctly or incorrectly now will have the most pronounced results for you compared to any other stage in the process. You have a chance to have a successful harvest on your first go, something not everyone has done.
I just wish you would drop your sense of superiority and realize that even though you are obviously intelligent, true intelligence is measured not by what you know, but by your ability to recognize that which you do not.
You are right, I didn't understand how it worked and thank you for the explanation. I was really hoping someone would tell me something useful instead of just telling me I'm wrong. About the pH, is it worth the money to to buy a tester? Will the difference in end result for my plant be enough that it was worth spending that cash on it? I read that a good one would run me nearly 30-70$. Where I come from that's at 5-10 grams of dope lol. Why does nobody else seem to think my plant is having trouble absorbing nutrients? It seems healthy to me, and trichomes are everywhere! Even the leaves around the buds are covered..
I believe that true intelligence is measured by your knowledge and common sense, paired with the ability to apply that knowledge to real-life situations. I used high school chemistry to figure out that the way I flushed WILL remove salt. Someone enlighten me on why what I did is wrong, but look it up before you say anything so I don't need to argue points like "it won't take the salt out" because if you read, you will find that chemically it will take the salt out because salt and other fertilizer ingredients are water soluble.
