Allow myself to introduce....myself

Yeah I definitely saw that was going down and it was definitely unprofessional. Taking accountability for a fuck up is customer service 101, I don't care what your product is. They were trying to save his reputation I guess, but a reputation for bad customer service is just as bad if not worse than the original bad product if you ask me. Especially when that product could take out your whole grow and cost you hundreds to fix. Total bull how that all went down.

I wonder if site admin has a stake in vendor sales other than site support.......

Yeah pretty sure that's what happened with my mix currently, and it's my own damn fault because I knew the mushroom compost smelled off, like musty, and I used it anyway because I was so Gung ho to transplant before leaving town. Pretty sure it was last year's bags and they sat out all winter. That's definitely where the gnats came from. The ladies just didn't seem to be vibing as well as they should either, had some leaf issues popping up that shouldn't have been and the roots are not as robust as I'm used to seeing. Ugh. I up potted today, but not much I can really do as the shit soil is all throughout the rootball. This is why you listen to your instincts! They're getting evicted in 3 weeks anyway, so as long as they don't go to shit before then I don't care.

I once got a bag of FFOF that was on sale. It was soaked and when I opened it up, it smelled like rotten egg. Then I went ahead and used it anyway, tossing in a little dolomite to make it all better.

It did not make it all better.

I have no clue... but he sells a lot on the farm... probably just trying to avoid a PR nightmare with 50 people at once demanding refunds, and trying to save face and pretend it didn't happen.

My favorite explanation that a stepdaughter used to use was, "The egg broke."

Ugh shitty... what issues were you seeing with it? I'm almost positive all my little issues are from that... but it's nothing major, few shitty leaves, subpar roots. I'm confident it will correct itself once they go in the ground. They've been in those pots with that mix for 4 weeks, I just transplanted from 1 to 2 gallons, which seems pointless, but I only need 3 weeks and I am short on space. I was expecting to find rootbound roots, but instead found sad roots and smelly dirt, smelly in a bad way, not nice compost smelly. And I definitely have not been overwatering, they've been going 4-6 days between waterings.

Did that just for you.

As far as all the talk about $ - the site admin has no other employment. This is how he pays his bills 100%. So every penny is something to fight over and protect. Users are viewed as dollar signs only, and if you become a problem in that regard as perceived by admin, out you go. You can see how the unintended consequences of that arrangement make for places like this.

I don't think we are going anywhere, and only getting better. Welcome @SSgrower, our newest member. Hope you find this place inviting enough to stay.

On the bottom left corner of the page it says carbon.
Hit the carbon and this will pop up

Hit default style and the page turns white with black print.
I am not sure if that limits anything but it is how I have been posting and reading since almost the beginning.(y)
I can't do the black by choice either.

After I get done Sunday with updates, you will be able to pick a proper light or dark theme.

Based on the feedback and all you old shits on this forum, looks like I am making the light mode default for everyone, and us cool people without cataracts will have to select dark mode. :rolleyes:

That's the way it should be.

That was sorta what happened with mine they would sprout, but just stall. When I would finally give up on them I would dig them out & see what was happening & there would be like no root growth. I tried every version of watering & lighting with no change. Looking back on it though the way it took water (or should I say refused to take water) compared to some cheap miracle grow I should have known earlier that was the problem.

My issues were pH related in that grow. I'm sure there were multiple nutrients involved.

The plant tops were most affected. It was low pH, so my guess is that it could have been sulfur, if it wasn't from some lockout that excluded the micronutrient metals. I had multiple people try and figure it out, all of them shrugged.

So using the soil version of turning off the device and restarting, I shook off as much soil as I could from the roots and transplanted into non-bargain-basement, non-sulfur-pit-smelling soil.

Lesson: learned
Cost: harvest
Harvest: sucked
Potency: (y)
Kicked: myself

This is the interesting thing to me. Stresses seem to make great weed sometimes, even when the plant looks like crap.

One of the things I try and do as I progress into each stage of grow is toss in a stressor to push them into the next stage. When I flip to flower I drop PPFD. Seems to shock the plant into pistil sooner. Broscience? Maybe but I've noticed they seem to come in a little faster when I do that. Same in veg. About half way through I'll drop humidity HARD for a day or two then ramp it back up. I see growth spurts doing that but if you do it too much or too hard it'll stunt them.

I just did that totally by accident. I ran out of CO2 and didn't notice for 3 days. Tacoed the leaves up nice, they had all inputs to photosynthesis except CO2.

I don't expect that to be a good kinda stress tho. But crop steering is a thing, drought is a good one that has been studied.
 
Did a highly scientific trial myself using 4 different pheno, one being a stressed helmet head that was left to defend for herself removing the shell. She was the second best yield of the 4 plants.
Edit for picture 20210514_183637.jpg20210521_075703.jpg

From my pryor life look up soybean rolling trials.
A common practice found by accident

I had set up a container as a bloom room with CO2 injection. I set up the 50lb tank, programmed the CO2 monitor, opened the tank and closed up the room. The next morning I open the room and the tank is empty. The tank ball gauge had crack in it and all the CO2 escaped into the room. I was sure that it got toxic and the girls would die. One of the best harvests I've had!!!

I know about a commercial grow across the river in Il that runs CO2 at 2500 ppm. I know this because they buy their co2 the same place I’d do and the guy behind the counter is a buddy.

There must be a good economic reason they have figured out on this. They wouldn’t do it for nothing. Maybe your accident is why.

Still learning myself I’m oldschool I gues - I’ve been turnin my sift into black hash when I have the patience ! Lol but we just throw a chick in a pipe or bong - I’m sure there’s better
 
Knocked my bong over 2 days ago and broke the mouth piece off, now using the spare. I too am wondering if there's a new and improved way to smoke brick hash?
Looking at that picture that brick is from 2021and its darkening from the outside in.
Edit, it was wrapped in cellophane and aluminum foil
