Good idea for sure, will talk to some of the other guys and see what we can do, most topics turn into… a trainwreck (see what I did there Mr 1200 page @Captspaulding ) I’ll do some checking then see what we can do, what I’d like is to see a detailed deficiency breakdown, but not using generic pictures. I think there’s enough of us here that we can use personal grow pics to make our own guide

Another would be a list of neuts for like you said DWC / soil / coco etc, if it was stickied we could make so no replies can be made, not sure if we can give permissions on certian topics to certian people but mods / staff can do the editing when requested by the contributors. Gimme some time and I’ll get with a few of you to discuss some stuff

Oh I see you

Proof is in the pudding man. Yeah homie.
So this is how I run my nutritional application.
Mega crop fert 35 grams per 10 gallons every 4th day.
A flick of cal mag
In flower right around 2nd week I like to start ramping in the p&k. As follows
50-60 grams mega crop per 10 gallons. Every 4th day
30grams sweet candy
1 teaspoon of big bud powder
Maybe some cal mag…..
That is basically it besides loading the plants up with those sweet rays from the lights.
If a cultivar starts getting anywhere near a tox of any kind, I cut the watering can by 1/3rd or 1/2. My watering can is about half a gallon.
I never water to runoff. I’m old school, I use a 3 way probe to check ppfd when laying out my lights, but I had someone ask what it was set at. So I check real fast.
I know those probes suck, but it is so damned close to Photone, I use it because I’ve dropped my phone and broken limbs and branches by accident. This way I have a wand basically.

Mega crop is all about simple, i have some but haven't used it. For someone like capt its perfect, you can feed the same stuff to plants at all different stages and they do great. Anyone doing a perpetual grow should check it out. They sent out a ton of free bags about a year ago. I use their kelp mixed with epsom as foliar

I’ve been screaming it from the damned roof. Tops homie! That stuff is aces. Sup buddy?

I have my system dialed in but i dont think it would translate well to other growers. Mostly because i have been recycling my soil for 3 years now, adding different things along the way. I am also a Nectar for the Gods user, that system is certainty not for everyone

Trimming up those MaxAC phenos I harvested. It is beautiful, you are going to get a few different ones in your care package

mix pro, seablast, epsom, pots with additional drainage holes drilled out.

Hardest thing to teach someone is how to read the plants before issues arise

Oh I will definitely love t on run that.
Bonkers.
Beautiful work

I like this idea!
Let me no what I can do to help facilitate this goal.

Right on! I guess follow along and see how it unfolds. If you have something that's bulletproof you can do as a tutorial...like making a statement that you back with your reputation.

I started out wanting to make super detailed DWC instructions for the absolute beginner. Step by step day by day using the bare minimum essentials that will get them from popping a seed pack to harvesting their crop. No gimmics no tricks along the way. Not even training or topping. Just the fundamentals. After they get comfortable growing they can do other things.

After I realized how easy it was to make videos I thought Id ask others to do the same because when I help people some grow in dirt, coco or no till. Or they ask me questions I can't answer with full confidence. It would be nice to say 'check out this guys stuff' and feel confident they will be in good hands.

 Now, its on the verge of becomming a knowledge base with others talking about soil mixtures and real live deficiency pics, some don't like videos and would rather read...someone mentioned 'be fluid.'

Things evolve...I'm thinking if we can keep it gimmic free, void of influencing products, just a solid Knowledge Base, we might be on to something solid for the community as a whole.

NO MERCY GAT DAMNED IT.

Wut.

Another example of why you should make a solid tutorial. I know you been around a long time, iirc we have chatted in the past because when I saw you posting I remembered you. Fondly I think. And i think i even remembered you from before that. So, with that said, if you're  that confident that you can put your reputation on the line, like me, then make a solid fundamental tutorial yo!

Oh ps, wanna know the story behind those little branch benders? I'm going to tell you anyways. A guy made them with his little 3d printer. He posted the whatever online to help people out and next thing you know some company is selling them online for $30 a pack of like 15 and sold em like hotcakes lol. Same thing with the guy that posted a blueprint to make seed sorters, they're selling for a grand. I get it but it's so dirty.

Yeah, you're in tune with your grow. That's hella respectable! I actually envy that now that I think about it. If this turns into a knowledge base you might want to think about adding too it.

 

[ACSippi]

if it was stickied we could make so no replies can be made

I was thinking, if it's locked, someone could message the OP with questions and the OP could add the question and their answer to the thread. For as long as they're around at least. I don't know just thinking out loud.

Like a category for all the growing “styles” and then having an op like
911 whats your emergency
my plants drooping
What have you fed it and so on

I agree, they are handy, but that ridiculous.
But I’m typing everything out, and will be copying and pasting everything at omce
With corresponding pics.

I’ll be as thorough as possible but comprehensive as well.

I hate price gouging.

 

[Captspaulding]

Wut.

In reference to the 2000 ppfd reading that you posted from my vid

Can multiple people have the ability to lock the thread too.?

Indeed I really think that comes through the redundancy of many grows. They will tell you everything as long as you listen. Don’t ever want to hear screaming at ya.
I’ve been considering drilling my pots,
I just have my wet/dry dialed perfectly.
It would have me feeding more I think

 

[ACSippi]

I have a reliable and repeatable soil method down. You looking to have us write up some directional recipes?

Sound like we may get a sub forum for tutorials where you post your tutorials and mods lock comments. Stay tuned for what they come up with.

I think the mods are talking about it so whatever they come up with.

Hey, one major problem we face as advisors is confusion. Not us being confused but newer growers being lost in the mass of information by knowledgable and not so knowledgable advisors. Many who pimp products.

I grow DWC to the T. Basic, fundamental and easy to understand for new growers. Obviously I do other stuff but the point is ' teaching basic, easy and fundamental.'

I'm looking to link up with some hella experienced guys that gro in dirt, coco and organic (no till). Guys that got their own step by step system and can lower themselves to fundamental level, eliminating tricks, toys and goodies.

What I need from those people is 'basic, easy, fundamental and very detailed' videos, step by step and easy to understand.

I also need focus on the products you're using as not to venture off explaining 'or you can use this and do that...'

No lighting talk, just focus on growing and enviroment. Light knowledge isn't important, tons of info and choices out there. So list your growing necessities. No toys or goodies unless theyre imperative.
Just list stuff you couldn't grow without and eliminate everything else.

If you know what you're doing it won't be a challenge.

There is no payoff other than respect.

Anyone interested? It's a little time consuming but would be a great help to new growers. I have video examples of how I'm going about it. I'm new to all this so they're generic, the important thing is the fundamental information. Plus I'm redoing some videos to make them better.

We can work together and cover different styles, I think you understand.
