EXPERIMENTS 101 - What Have You Tried - What Works/Doesn't Work

Nope, the plants with yellowing are that way from my being forced to water them with my well water. It kills cannabis, and I'm not joking. Not my veggies, just cannabis as they enter flowering. ALL my canna gets RO water with 90-120 ppms cal/mag. I broke my filter and had to use tap water for about 4 days. They look better than they did....... and, no foliar, no teas, just pure water and cal/mag

And no, it won't be shit, I promise you. I bred this strain and I grow it every grow, I know it well.

thats looks like 4 or 5 weeks into flower and u have yellow going on WITH AMENDANTS LIKE U SAY imagine mg soil with no amendants or nutrients? IT WILL BE SHIT., EDIT: IM NOT BASHING YOUR GROW THE PLANT LOOKS AWESOME ITS JUST AN EXAMPLE[/QUOTE]

here's one of my shit buds from last crop, Green Poison

u still don't understand me, i SAY a grow WITHOUT repotting in MIRACLE GROW WITHOUT NO NUTRIENTS OR AMENDANTS AND JUST PLAIN WATER WILL BE A DISASTER., im not talking about your plants im talking about the OP first post..

Working on a project about killing mites with UV-C ultraviolet light. There is science about this wavelength and its effect on bacteria and dust mite control. It seems using a handheld UV wand over ( upholstery or other surfaces ) kills bacteria , germs and mites.


For me being a small grower , i can pull plants individually to experiment on. Im battling mites with chemicals currently. But am interested in seeing if one would run this wand over the plant slowly over and under leaves that i could kill any of the mites since dust mite eradication is possible with this light.

Dust mites are smaller. I don't think this would be effective on spidermites.

Would love to be proven wrong, though!

turkey grease is more organic if u injected straight into the root ball 75% more yield and proteins too. huh?

i will have to try turkey grease . i know hamburger grease is expose to work well as well . i will have to do a controlled test 3 lights 3 rooms . turkey grease one room the next hamburger grease and my favorite bacon grease . we will see the results first hand . i will heat the grease up to the proper temp of 650 degrees f then pore it directly on top of the root ball .

and also a nice trick to get ur buds dense ass shit is at that same temps foliar spray some on the buds they will swell like balloons!! Scientifically proven!!

ok . i am on the hunt for a sprayer that is not made of plastic . at these (PROPER ) temps of 650 f we need a heavy duty sprayer to spray this hot grease with out melting the spray unit .

LMAO

Ya need to add corn oil to your testing side by side keep the vegans happy bro

Not sure if this has been said but... I snip just the tip off of the buds as they grow and it really makes the buds swell.... saw this on either this site or another so I did a few buds on a couple plants to see if there was a difference.... doing it to all the buds this go.

I had a buddy that did this about 10 years ago. It turned out to be one big ass mini basketball bud. It was fucking huge. I don't think it increased yield, but it looked cool.

That would be my question about this method. What's it actually doing for your yield?

I've experimented before.......
whoops wrong thread

commen sense tells me it increases

I don't see how that's common sense. If you cut on a plant during flower I would expect it to lower yield. He isn't talking about topping, he's talking about cutting the tip of a bud off.

Not real sure if it increased the yield but I highly doubt that it hurt. Fattens the buds up nice.

Lol...yeah, sometimes I can sound like an asshole when I let my passion and enthusiasm our unbridled.

Love the bashing as opposed to actual good tips and hints garnered from experience. Oh well, probably brought it on with my abrasiveness, sorry about that...not my intention at all.

Just frustrated as a new grower who is trying to get REAL info as opposed to theory creators. I can tell them from the real deal, despite my own lacking as a grower because if you try what they do, it actually works.

I know I am not alone lol....

I never said anywhere that I know it all....well, ANYTHING, for that matter.

Thank you to those who posted something worthwhile, I have a lot to learn. That is why, after all, I am here.

So here are my girls at day 40 of flowering, just wanted to share

Happy growing everyone, sorry again, didn't mean to sound like an arse! Just want REAL helpnot theories
