hey i got a question , i got a container, and i can fit like, 2 An a half, 5 gallon buckets in there, i was wondering instead of doing that, would i just be able to put like 6 plants in there? since theres alot of space, what happends if 1 plant roots touchs another one ?

ill make a thread about it im curious
I currently have 3 -5 gallon buckets with 2 plants in each. They are doing great.

Ok so, I'm a noob growing in soil, and I just want to get this straight...

Basically what you're saying to do is Flush....then right before it dries completely, water and feed? Then when it dries out, repeat the process?

If this is what you mean, then would you give it more nutrients that you would give it normally since you feed less often? Example: I feed 1xStrength every 3 days, would I then feed 2xStrength every feeding period with your method?

Also, were you saying that you would do procedure straight through til harvest, or do you flush and stop feeding near the end?

Riddleme, I just recently harvested my 1st plant. I wanted to personally thank you for your dedication to helping nOObs like myself in learning how to grow. I read all your threads and eventhough it takes weeks to read, your little nuggets of info saved my grow and even got me to the finish line with my first plant! Your technique,research and myth buster styles really taught me alot about growing. I will always Make It Rain on my plants, although its a real pain in the butt carrying it into the bathroom and back to the tent, the hard work pays off at the end! Thanks bro! You are a legend IMO. I am glad I got to read your threads!

Here is a pic of my 1st plant MamaDude drowning after 69 days of flowering!!!!

Peace

Hey Riddle long time no see :bigjoint: i have still been lurking from time to time and i have been growing an orphaned Lemon Amnesia Haze , i say orphaned as her previous owner had to get rid of her and all her sisters "in a hurry". so i took her in and applied some of your magic and a little of my magic combined and really brought her back from the brink of death to a beutiful lst'd specimen (Ill throw up some pics if ur cool with it). But what i really wanted to know from someone more experienced is : does a sativa dominant strain perhaps like a little more nitrogen in the flowering phase than and indica dominant strain ? she just seems to be yellowing a bit quickly for my liking at week 4 into flowering and i thought u may have had a few experiences to share on the matter .

Hi Riddleme, Thank you for all the wonderful information. I have a question that I have been unable to find the answer to, maybe I,m blind, but what is the second book you reccomend besides Mel's insider guide? I saw hints about it but never found the title or author.
Thanks again for all your hard work and time.

How is everyone doing. Need a bit of advice. I harvested my plant 6 days ago. Hung them upside down for 4 days and have put them in a brown paper bag the last 2 days. I need to sell tomorrow.(Bills to pay). I weighed this morning and just have over 4oz. Buds are sticky and covered in crystals but just a bit damp. Any ideas how to make them good for tomorrow. Any advice would be great. It is iced grapefruit and it is a killer stone. Its an initial head high then the couch comes a calling

TELL WHOEVER YOUR SELLING HOW FRESH IT IS. CAUSE THEY COULD FEEL RIPPED OFF. UNCURED BUD IS .. =/ Pointless? in somecases.. when you can just cure it

Hi riddle, I'm new to the forum and have just stumbled onto this thread. The info I read here is very intriguing. I'm interested on whether this technique would work for hydro system with coco as medium. I'd like to be able to go through all the pages but there are just too many lol!

Ok to be fair here, when Rings decided to grow he didn't go online and find a forum, he didn't get any myths or misdirection, he called me. So I didn't have to spend any time convincing him or showing him why, I simply told him what to do and he did it. He also came here and read all my threads to get an understanding of the why and he just grew and harvested his first plant ever without one single problem :) He even got his first cure down perfectly and I'm beamin a bit cause he is my nephew and I'm damn proud of him :hump:

Other than that the only difference was that when he had a question he would call instead of PM'ing me :)
