I have to revise the dumbest advice I keep hearing; from washing the root ball away, to taking clones in flower, or re-vegging a mother.
Sure it can be done, but it shouldn't be done because you destroy the genetic material you started with, once the plant undergoes the stress of flowering!

Cloning is also an ideal way to determine the sex and properties of potential mother plants without every having them undergo the stress of flowering. This is much better than taking a cutting during flowering or putting a flowering plant back under a longer light cycle to revert it back to vegetative growth. Stress can alter or damage genetic material and that genetic change will be passed to the cuttings taken from the mother after that point.

Dude I see so much dumb advice given… I attribute it all to the fact that people take other words and just believe it without doing the research to back it up… I found that fucking up a lot of plants is what got me good at growing. I know the limits of what to use and what not to use, and most of all don’t ask for advice, rather than that I just look for the info instead. What I do is read about it as much as I can and then draw my conclusion with my own experience. Growing is easy people are just always trying to change the rules and rewrite the book to make a name for themselves.

I remember a thread where the guy growing needed help because his plants were dying. Said he never used fertilizer but has been mixing his urine with water and using that as fert. I also heard someone say that plants love nitrous oxide and it creates dank bud. Some people are just dumb.

This isn't dumb growing advice, but I remember back in high school people were under the impression that the leaves of the plant were more potent than the flowers. I remember a friend's brother saying one day that he was going to go buy a leaf from this guy who was charging him like $20 for ONE leaf. I remember thinking at the time how stupid that sounded, and that he was getting ripped off. Even my 15 year old brain knew that if leaves were the most potent part of the plant, why does everyone buy and sell the buds instead?
LOL@ the guy who thinks he can look at a bag and tell what strain it is. I know a guy like that, too. Funniest thing is, it's usually just some fucking brick weed from Mexico that looks, smells, and tastes like crap. Everyone knows the guy is full of shit, but nobody wants to tell him because it's too much fun to crack on him behind his back.
Then there's the backup connection that always says "this is some good shit, it's gonna knock you on your ass!" when the bag is full of seeds and the buds look like someone jumped up and down on them, like I'm some 12-year old that's never seen a bag of shwag before.
And who can forget the guy who always tells you it's "mids", even when it looks like the dirtiest dirt weed you've ever seen. I remember when "mids" meant it was actually pretty good smoke and not rehydrated brick weed, lol.

Must be nice to be you =)
I didn't even realize there were different kinds of cannabis until I was in my early 20's. I'd never seen a bag that didn't have a buttload of seeds in it. You can imagine my amazement when I discovered that not ALL pot came this way!

Disregarding old school growers like George Cervantes is bad advice

Jorge. Full of wisdom like "Growers Saftey Tip! Make sure you have a cover over your fanblades because it really hurt when I stuck my face in this one." Quite a clown.

just like all those great tips on the 70's books like the rusty nail through the stem trick, huh?
dont fear progress.
heres one...
a guy was asking about how to disguise his plant in his backyard and a guy told him to cut all the fan leaves in half so they didnt look like pot. said the plant would be fine.
i proceded to compare it to loping off your fingers at the first knuckle and your legs at the knee so people would think your a midget. hey, it could work!

Howdy neighbor! I'm one west of the Mississippi...and you're right....ALL the shit around here has seeds in it.Imagine the suprise of a few locals who got some anonymous samples of my recent grow....seedless and lovely.
Worst grow advice?Don't know if anyone has said this already, but somebody told me to shove a nail through the plant to make it produce more resin.
