You need to calm down a little. There is no need to be so condescending just because I asked a question about supersoil, quit trolling around looking for arguments. I never blamed super soil for my tall plants. I couldn't find potassium in SS so I was wondering if there was a connection and that's why I asked.
Interesting....I am not a troll.How can I be a troll if I'm talking from experience of SS? Reread your posts. Or go read my history and you will see that I don't even post enough to be a troll. I only post (non pics/updates) when I feel it necessary b/c your spreading misinformation IMO. And even then I tried to stay out of your convo the first few days, but you kept on with it.
Can someone help me out on that one? I'm actually a little pissed off. Spent a lot of time and effort on the soil (rounding up ingredients, mixing, cooking, etc) and now after looking up all the ingredients I discover none of them contain (k) one of the most important nutrients a plant can get?
So now I am 2 weeks into flowering with some skinny ass plants, and I'm going to make a banna tea or something... I just don't see how an organic soil recipe with no (k) is so popular and featured in high times and what not... Am I missing something?
Well, even if it isn't my problem. I'm still curious as to how you can get a good yield while ignoring one of the macro nutrients. Potassium is needed for protein, photosynthesis and growth regulation. I'm not saying you will end up with a shitty crop, but I think adding potassium would help increase yield
Yeah, don't get me wrong. I know it can produce some real nice clean smoke. I just feel like yield is lacking and I know potassium is important for any plant. I have a conspiracy theory that commercial growers have coveted secrets to getting nice big tasty yields and purposefully misinform smaller time growers so they will get discouraged
I actually just remembered something, I didn't use the subcool recipe on that one... But these plants look exactly the fuckin same... tall and skinny
A quarter ounce a plant. It was good, but I was disappointed. Again, that was a different organic recipe. Same basic building blocks though, the supersoil adds a few things... still no potassium though. And I really think that's a problem. I worked for a commercial grower (trimming/big leafing/ transplanting) and his plants would be fat as shit by the time they went to the flowering room. He would veg for 3 weeks - month, and they would get about as tall as my plants are now in their third week but thick and lush. Mine look healthy... just skinny as fuck and already bending under their own weight.
From those quotes it came off to me that you WERE directly blaming SS and the lack of K for
1.your tall skinny plants.
2. your lack of yield.
And I was not saying that my "reputation" (number of bars) is what made me a voice of reason. I was saying that I personally have a good bit of experience with the Supersoil and all the info from that is right here on RIU. In fact I have a thread that specifically shows it in action. Here I'll go a head and link you.

Not trying to sound condescending at all, but when you come off and IMO blame supersoil (cuz according to you it has no potassium) for your plant problems, I feel as a successful SS user I needed to come in and let you know that it's not the soil that's your problem.
I have ran supersoil alot and I am telling you that if it was only netting me a 1/4 each time I wouldn't be using it. I am not going to get into exact numbers with you, but lets just say that I'm doing a lot more yield than that.
IMO it sounds like grower error/not enough research on the SS recipe. All you have to do is look at the "Weed Nerds" on this sub-forum using SS and you will plainly see it's not the SS that is netting you your shitty yields or your spindly little plants.
So I'd appreciate if you quit using that as your excuse and just man up and admit that maybe its your growing skills.
I am by no means perfect and I make mistakes (even have recently), the difference is that I blame myself when things go wrong, not a soil recipe that is proven over and over and over and over and over again.
It aint the Supersoil.
