I can provide pics of plants started from seed in hot soil that were dark green at the end. They didn't burn when young.
Nice to see another low feeder in the bunch.
Just the green color seems to be the most indicative.
Please provide pictures of the difference of light, medium and dark green.Howdy Newbies,
You Rock! Seriously, I can teach a new grower how to grow superior quality cannabis, much easier than a grower who has even a single year of experience. You have an empty cup.
Learn to Read Your Plants
Organic, Hydro, Soil, Soilless, Cannabis is the same. One of the main indicators of quality being destroyed in cannabis happens to be the presence of a dark green color in your leaves. When you first begin experimenting with feeding cannabis, you'll notice growth rate changes at different feed levels. See, cannabis does not selectively uptake nutrients and will overfeed when conditions are right for it.
When you feed too lightly (assuming a balanced nutrient, proper pH swing and high transpiration environment. Look them up.) the leaves are a pale green and lower leaves brown, wither and die. Growth is slow and unhealthy.
When you feed the correct level of nutrients, the leaves are a medium green and growth rates are at maximum.
When excessive nutrient levels are available, the leaves are dark green and growth rates begin to slow. The more overfeeding, the darker the plant and the slower the growth rate becomes. Having to deal with excessive nutrient also makes for lower production of terpenes and cannabinoids, the compounds we really want.
I've spent 8 years researching superior quality cannabis and have yet to see more than 'decent' quality come from plants with dark green leaves. There's a fine line between clean cannabis and overfed cannabis, so watch those growth rates as you increase the nutrient levels.
Be Kind to Your Cannabis!
Keep your transpiration high, your nutrient levels low, your water and your air clean. You'll be so happy you did.

Well, seeing you call natural processes that are the basis of all life "junk that needs to go away", I shall spare myself the trouble of discussing any further as there's no point
Why? Your job is to find the minimum feed level your plants thrive at, and note the color for your strain. Should I get the opportunity to torture some plants, on the side, I'll definitely take some photos to show the results. That will provide photos of at least one or two strains.
When we're talking cannabis, that information does not apply in the same way. I've seen nearly the exact same explanation used by growers of low quality for over a decade now.Well, seeing you call natural processes that are the basis of all life "junk that needs to go away", I shall spare myself the trouble of discussing any further as there's no point
You made the claim and supposedly did the testing now back it up.
Your ignorant requests will be ignored.
He is not a fraud, I have met and smoked with Douglas and ya remember that Pink Kush I grew? It was him that gifted it to me. You may not agree with his presentation but he knows his stuff. He has an edge over most growers because he is hyper sensitive to things, give him a bud with pesticides or crap and he'll know right away and it is what he has had to learn about growing because of this that he is tryin to share.

I was tryin to stay outta it but couldn't any longer
I haven't had that pink for a while, so whoever you are you got it a while ago. (Autism sucks for memory! LOL) Do you still have the pink? She messed my head up BAD for over 2 months from that run. lol Apparently seizure patients don't do 'Kush' strains very well.
We'll need more than your personal experience with him to back it up. Since he's gotten on here I've seen him do little more than push his book and explain basic concepts to other growers without actually going into detail or providing evidence for his own grows. The dude got on here and claimed he had the best cleanest cannabis that was smooth without even drying...sound like a loaded statement to me rife with subjective thought.He is not a fraud, I have met and smoked with Douglas and ya remember that Pink Kush I grew?

I crossed it to 6 different males and have been growin em out and yeppers it's been awhile, you also shared that Harlequin cut with meWell that was unexpected!
Thanks for chiming in.
You're correct, my wife is always hammering me about diplomacy. I'm really doing much better, I swear.
This is 'Pink'
I wish you would at least refrain from bamboozling people by throwing awesome-sounding words around. Do you even know what a dynamic accumulator is? If so please explain what cannabis specializes in? As this would be news to me indeed
Google searched your image it came up here: http://www.imfromdenver.com/the-worlds-first-marijuana-mall-opened-in-colorado/Well that was unexpected!

Dynamic accumulators collect and store elements. Like legumes fixing nitrogen, cannabis stores silicon, potassium and cadmium. At least those are the ones I've found through research papers.I wish you would at least refrain from bamboozling people by throwing awesome-sounding words around.

The thing is, whether a plant is a dynamic accumulator or not, the communication between plant and soil life (where nutrient uptake happens, adequate or no) still happens. Look at nitrogen fixing legumes with their specialized bacterial partnerships. They're dynamic accumulators, and lo, they still have this mechanism of procuring their nutrition via communication with the soil life they're growing in
So fact is, one thing has nothing to do with the other
