I have been lurking for years learning. I stumbled on the thread and surprised I have not seen it before. I'm just a hobby gardener and love and hate the challenges. A few years back I seen a post from rm3. I was struggling but not willing to quit. He said one day to another poster who was arguing....don't believe me try it. I thought to myself I will. He buries info in many different threads making people work todo get the info. I did all the reading and copied everything but the t5 light set up.
I used the peat, jacks, and made it rain. Did everything step by step. I'm convinced the reading of plants is allabout experience and I'm trying to do that too. I grow the same strain because I love it. Doing that was a great way to judge progress. And wow it was progress. I have 3 or 4 grows using his system and I say it too. Try it then argue.
Since then I upgraded fans, hps light, got temp dialed in, rh perfect and much more. I was at the hydro store and an old dude working talked me into dyna grow products. I ran same strain and same everything but the feed. Wow what a waste. My smoke was good with dyna grow but a big noticeable difference in taste, and length of high.
Needless to say I am back on rm3 train. I know I don't grow 10 20 or in some guys cases rooms full of plants. My couple at a time allowed me to really watch and take notes. And the notes don't lie andI I am sold.
Rm3 I owe you brother. You should write a book. Please pm me if you have links to other info or if you do write a book.
Maybe you could read an actual cultivation book. I have read all of his "books" on his site. They are just like his threads here. He makes up all of his info and pretends science and accepted study is wrong.
Ask him to take a picture of whole plants instead of cropped micro pics. Scrawny and leafy.
And we have all smoked his supposedly amazing pot now. Not too amazing.
But believe a stranger who posts on the internet instead of a botanist. Doesn't it make sense that we all have it wrong including the best breeders and book writers. And
@RM3 has it right.
He is only an internet expert. And a salesman for his own agenda.
Listening to his websites direction this year has cost me 20% of my meds. And my potency is better if I ignore every tip pretty much.
Especially adding bloom boosters. Which he does too much and needs to leach his pots every time. Then makes up a name to pretend it's a technique. He calls it make it rain and it stunts plant growth.
Oh and he pretends that his potassium additive chemical is not a booster. not sure what he thinks a bloom boost is. But it has always been potassium.
I am sorry I started to believe him for a minute too. His website info wasted a lot of my time.
How can someone have the best pot in the world and need us to make donations so he can keep his house. Or to start his Chinese made light business.
I don't have the best pot in the world. But it bought me my house.
He does write pretty well sometimes though. Not a skill necessary to grow pot though.
