Yes, ive done loads using the 'topped' cutting off a plant and in my opinion it grows the same as 1 taken from lower on plant...i now this goes against all the advice etc but try it and you will probably find the same.....

Just couldnt throw a cut away myself, except for the pineapple chunk...id happily burn all them fckers lol :fire:
Thats why i asked valley, it was my understanding (i may be wrong and probably am) that a clone taken from the lower of a cannabis plant will grow nodes unevenly, (like steps either side of the stalk) which is why you cant officially mainline a clone taken that way.

I was wondering since it is a top, would that cutting be viable for mainlining. Since the growth would be even?

Ive never mainlined a plant so not sure but logically i cant see why there would be a problem....

Ive read a guide on mainlining which inc a link to doing clones, ill see if i can find it and post link....if ur still here lol (:

Im not being passive aggressive. Just airing my views. Me and thcbrain are asking questions about our plants but your all more interested in arguing with one another, with the exception of ribena.
These arent debates or even banter, i can sense the hatred. Fair enough yorkies plants look fooking huge he got skills no doubt. Lahadaes stuff looks great to me too, not as nice as yorkies but id be more than happy with plants like that.

Just seems its more negative criticism rather than constructive. I need help, i dont need to read pages and pages of an argument on meat (which is up to you guys, theres no rules against it) hence why im choosing to close my account and move on.

Despite the name over the door this is not a help thread mate, if you read the opening post you'll see (It's full of the big 'I am').


It's a rejects thread made buy the folk who can't hack it in our thread, and they can't hack it in our thread for exactly the reasons that have been highlighted over the last few days.

In our thread you may well get decent help as long as you are not a noob and have done much of the leg work yourself (and not after 10pm BST, boys be chilling in the evening), which on a site with over 700.000 members is to be expected because the information is there if you sift through the shite.

If you want help you should start in the proper places, here.......

https://www.rollitup.org/f/newbie-central.40/

And here.......

https://www.rollitup.org/f/marijuana-plant-problems.65/

Being examples.


Because as an apparent Spannabis judge who grows in soil is agreeing with a noob that my plants have serious problems (which has been shown to be complete bullshit in the stunning shots posted afterwards), it is quite obvious you're not going to get objective help in here because those two certainly have no clue what they're talking about.


Peace.

I know that I can grow what I like and usually put 12 or 9 plants in a square. This obviously may not suit your growing laws.

Check this pic above of a UK grow in NFT. These guys got me into NFT hydro but i switched to all mix last year for the Bl rh. This was their 6th grow btw so hang on in there!

Anyway, this is 4 clones in a 1.5metre tent. 2 weeks veg and 7 weeks flower. They get 750g with those 2 lights. They do a lot of LST for SCROG in the 2 week veg period to get as many colas as possible. We don't believe in wasting veg time or aiming for maximum grams per litre of soil. WE NOT SILLY. Plus 600w only stretches so far. Check the broccoli shape from pruning. That's Max light efficiency. No popcorn at the bottom.

They have 2 tents now and produce 1.5 kg of this strain called 'Family plant' every 9 weeks. Bucks area.

So apart from having full time jobs they get £9K per harvest. That's £4.5K a month extra!! They don't even consider themselves commercial growers. They go on holiday to places like Mexico and take their race car to the tracks in Germany. They could easily afford to pay for their wife's PhD!! ;) they certainly aren't poorpers because of their grow.

Check how their canopy is full? Not a stupid single cola with lack of pruning in site is there ? Plus all the leaves look great at the end of harvest.

So be aware of making your grow suit you and please experiment with pruning and LST. Just watch Labs and see what he gets up to. Also, watch this girlfriend of mine who's just started. Labs was spot on abt what he said abt PK def, i could even prove his theory to you right now. When you have 12 clones in a sq metre and the bigger ones get purple first and the smaller ones don't, you know the bigger ones are hungry. Observation is key!

Those pics I posted achieved 530g/600w. In hydro I could get 560g with 9 plants but it's inconsistent and I think the soil tastes better and reduces stretch. Hydro is relentless tho. I'll start my NFT again soon. Either way I'm top shelf and I've proved it to you.

I'm here to help anyway. Labs knows I can readily give advice and back off also. In real life they call me La Reina. Lol that's what counts isn't it? RIU aren't paying my wages.

I'd love it if you guys progress to this. Just keep looking. If the HPS light confuses you then take the plant out the room. This was a problem for my blue eyes. Love those glasses. Been chopping tonight with them.
Remember, it's all about grams/watt. NOT grams/ L of soil! :)

Great, just the ammo I need to shoot your shit down for another day!



The first photo is labelled 'Entrecot De Vedella'.
Google translate says 'Entrecot De Vedella' is Catalan for 'Sirloin Steak'.
View attachment 3582521

And 'Vedella' on it's own is Catalan for 'Veal' (which is beef).
View attachment 3582522

So in this context it is safe to assume that 'Entrecot' is the catalan word for steak.




The next photo is labelled Rib-Eye in English (sat next to some Wagyu and Kobe beef).
No problem here.



The last photo YOU have labelled as 'Solomillo'.
Google Translate says that 'Solomillo' is Spanish for 'Sirloin'.
View attachment 3582523





So to conclude, it appears that the meat products in the first and third photo that you posted are exactly the same thing but in 2 different languages and you are either too ignorant of the 2 languages that you don't realise this or.......you are being deliberately disingenuous.

And that the word 'Entrecot' in this context means nothing more than 'Steak', which is why the Rib-Eye from the butcher in the second picture actually says 'Rib-Eye' on it.

You originally used the exact French word entrecôte which specifically means a Rib/Rib-Eye steak and tried to say that's what it's called in Spain too, this has now proven to be false several times.


So in your original English post why the fuck did you say you bought entrecôte when the simple word 'steak' would suffice?

Because you were trying to be pretentious and come accross as something you are not.




And by the way, if you brought that shit in the bottom picture home to me as sirloin steak it would go straight in the bin.

Who the fuck destroys sirloin by trimming all the fat off?

Eductated and cultured my arse! :lol:
No the Entrecot was only €20/kg so you are wrong.

Seeing as you are such a culinary expert why are you showing off cheap Serrano to me? Is it because Jabugo would be like pearls before swine? Or is that all you can afford due to your underperforming grow?

At least I'm a top shelf grower and don't claim to be a culinary expert. You apparently have limited knowledge of pork!

As for your Dad speaking 3 languages! Lmao. I'd love to hear his accent. My Dad actually spoke to me in English, his THIRD language. Not exactly from a scholarship background are you?
