    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    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...

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    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...

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    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...

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    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...

    I'm overwhelmed. Questions about Reservoir-/Nutrient-Management and how Plants take up Nutrients.

    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...

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    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...

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    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...

    I'm overwhelmed. Questions about Reservoir-/Nutrient-Management and how Plants take up Nutrients.

    Using promix and water soluble ferts is still hydro, just a low tech/cheap/forgiving system to run which is why it's popular with commercial growers. Soilless peat/coco based mediums act as buffers to keep the root zone stable in an ideal range, pure water cultures like DWC/NFT/flood and drain...

    Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch

    House of the Great Gardener is available and has won more awards, same with Humbolt Seed Company. Weathered Island is a organic/regenerative ag micro nursery out of Texada Island selling Timewarp and other early finishing outdoor varieties. Compared to a couple years ago there's a lot more...

    Chasing Purple Color

    Sounds very similar to Purple Star so I'd assume the colour is temp dependent like most "purple" varieties.

    Chasing Purple Color

    Does frisian dew turn purple regardless of temps or does it need cold weather like it's purple star parent? Purple Star or Purple #1 are classic purple varieties from Dutch Passion but meant for outdoors and need cold temps to bring the colour out, I assume frisian dew is the same but haven't...

    Sog 12/12 from seed pot size?

    I've used 4x4 grow tables filled with soil for SoG from seed before to maximise root space since you'll need to cull male/hermaphrodite plants but also want to max soil to grow in. One gal pots definitely seem small

    Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch

    Awesome thread, I've been wondering about Critical Orange Punch since seeing it sell out on the OCS so quickly each time it pops up. Even better to see people keeping an open mind instead of the weed bro default of "legal weed sucks" or "support real growers not corpo shills".

    Chasing Purple Color

    About half if the pack I grew was any indicator. It also has a very light, mild stone that most people wouldn't be interested in if their chasing the high THC modern varieties.

    Favorite breeders

    Dman and Katsu seeds are probably my favourite in recent years, I've wanted to dig into Dragon's Flame Genetic as my buddy found some great plants in their beans.

    Is Pierre Poilievre Canada’s trump?

    It ties into their belief that one lone wolf will stand up against the "woke" minority imposing their views and save the world from whatever calamity their brains have twisted social progress into. Look at the popular media/movies they consume and it usually revolves around one tough guy who...

    Mass Medical Strains

    That's pretty funny considering everyone I know that actually grows MMS generally enjoys them and it's the chorus of weed bros who've never grown them but spend all day reading gossip and sharing baseless opinions between themselves that thrives on the drama. Like everyone who's commented...

    Great, another unqualified opinion that's easy to ignore.... Cheers
