It's not a crew, just a single dude doing his thing. He also had a big scare as the elites he collected from the US were infected with HLV, so he lost everything and has had to restart. He's also more of a beginner then "high level grower" from the conversations we've had. Solid dude as he...

It's kinda funny how JOTI has come full circle from being known as a pollen chucker with well priced gear for beginners, to an esteemed breeder and now back to a company with "baggage"... I'd honestly be surprised if he's done anything differently and it's more the perception of his company...

You may want to read my comments again as I pointed out he was known as a pollen chucker that you'd find hermies in a pack, which is why I don't particularly buy the problems relate to new owners

As a beginner gardener I wish people had stressed that growing indoors is more about balancing the environment to meet the plants needs. A plant will only grow as fast as the biggest limiting factor will allow, so the EC needs to be balanced for the actual conditions in your grow. Humidity...

Do you have anything from him actually saying he's selling/sold the business or are you assuming he'd remember you/the conversation? The fact you say "after the pollen chucking began" when he's always been a small company known for selling crosses

Then you're flushing too early as you're suppose to cut nutes for the last 2 weeks which is what these studies are referring to, not a hypothetical situation where you cut nutes while the plant is still growing. Generally senescence is noticeable as plants use less water and the bracts begin to...

Plants enter senescence a couple weeks before harvest, not because of nutes being cut a couple weeks from harvest; that's false logic as if the plants were still using nutes they'd affect yield by increasing the brix. The data shows that cutting nutes doesn't affect yield, which doesn't fit...

There is no clear answer, the only definitive statement we can make based on his link is that nutes or no nutes don't affect the yield in the last 2 weeks; which is all I've point out and he replied with an analogy about athletes while ignoring the data. So where does the burden of proof lie...

You've already posted one, read your own link... What's the point of using nutes if they don't increase the yield or are you ignoring that for the unspecified subjective opinion of an unknown number of "experts" because it matches yours? That's not how science works, show me a peer reviewed...

And now this thread has become a perfect example of why growing is confusing for beginners as it's full of contradicting opinions more then facts...

Too many other variables like temp, humidity or air flow that affect EC levels by affecting evapotranspiration. The EC could be rising because there's more heat with higher wattage and poor ventilation; everything in a grow is interdependent and the sooner you start thinking about it as a...

This is just inaccurate, most of the OG grow books (Cervantes, Rosenthal, Frank) are simply horticultural facts with inaccurate assumptions about unknowns like suggesting PM is systemic like most PM species which most likely isn't the case based on what we know now. I've noticed a serious drop...

Grow books give you a good baseline but don't fill in all the gaps and are based on the best info at the time of publishing which we're finding out isn't necessarily the best way to grow now that it's actually being studied rigorously in universities as a new cash crop. Short version; take...

It's a pretty common term on reddit, hopefully it stays there with the rest of the low quality info and grow bros...

You win the internet today lmfao, best reply to a nonsensical conflict ever!
