why not listen to me?
i'm really confused now!

i think the answer is in what you wrote they truly will "adapt" the Irish lad is correct but is adapting, thriving?

again someone already said what will happen is the plant will put unneeded energy into regrowing leaves instead of fattening buds, everything you read tells you that the plant needs leaves for growth

i am actually more confused with how this simple biology is escaping people.

agreed tho just crack on and do what you think is best
I think people are getting confused on the difference between raw nutrients from bottles we feed, and plant "food" as the processed nutrients, post-photosynthesis. Post-photosynthesis "food" are carbohydrates & sugars (G3P), amino acids & proteins , and hormones. Plants require these to grow, and delivered threw the phloem. These are what make up the mobile-nutrients part of what we feed the soil\hydro (out of the bottle). The other non-mobile nutrients, remain in the Xylem until they find there destination for use.

people have been fishing for thousands of years. every once in a while, some one comes out with "the future of fishing" which will "change the way the world fishes forever!" they usually enjoy a small amount of success, before the world drops them in the tackle box with the ronco pocket fisherman and the floating keychain. why does the world drop them in the "trash" tackle box? because the process was streamlined before they were born, and it works.why fix something that works? why put extra effort into getting basically the same or worse results?
people have been growing weed as long as they've been fishing. they do it the way they do it for the same reason. it works. they've tried defoliation, they've tried molasses, they've tried fishguts, they've tried dancing in the moonlight...some of it works, and they keep doing it, some of its a total waste of time, and they quit doing it.
someone re-invents the wheel daily, while the rest of the world is busy rolling down the road
Wait so you don't dance at moonlight? what a noob
