EXAMPLES OF BRO SCIENCE that you've tried?? Did it work or not?

Is the molasses thing what every organic grower bases all there proof on the same thing?

Ive been told almost always by organic growers that the molasses feeds soil microbes which in turn add flavor to the plant by some sort of waste they create.
? Idk if real or not but any organic bud I've gotten does not taste any better but always looks much more leafy losser buds.

I've also read somewhere that a bong is one of the most efficient ways to ingest weed and along them same lines I've heard that you only have to hold your hit in 10sec to get the most from the hit any longer and just damage without reward..

I also agree that variety is the spice for life so I do it all concentrates vapes bongs blunts sublingual edible topical.

Molasses is high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, and other micronutrients. Organic seaweed fertilizers together with blackstrap molasses is what you should aim for in veg to early flower, after that i add some carbon pk for flower and drop the seaweed fert for the last few weeks.
Normally i recommend holding the bong hit for about 4 seconds, as i don't find benefit to holding it any longer

Someone here a few months ago was talking about pissing on your plants.

Definitely don’t piss on your plants

Hahaha for sure, I read that there is something in urine that feeds em nutes or the sort, abs or actually recommended not to use your own urine if on any meds...lmfao... I've heard old school og's say ppl where doing that back in the day. Crazy...

Not gonna lie, I've peed AROUND my plants... but for the purpose of fending off deer and rabbits in the woods. Those assholes will just break the whole thing in half to taste it, then walk away after they decide it tastes weird... rabbits strip it and leave you a nice bare stalk in the ground, guess they're stoners. Ahhh the joys of outdoor growing lol.

Sorry for this........I've poured pee (along with ground up hot peppers, ammonia, castor oil..) in various areas, mostly to discourage a groundhog from hanging out in the area. I'm actually shocked that no animals got to the few plants i grew outside this past summer. We have rabbits, raccoons, chipmunks, deer, squirrels........no one even nibbled on them....

All I know is all the grass I pee’d on over the summer off my back deck has long since died. I can’t imagine that being good for my weed

I think it's more about amounts and concentration....... ;)

I can pee gallons and doesn’t take a lot of concentration...oh, prob not what you meant

I use piss in veg whenever they need a N boost. Works great and saves money. 1 cup/gal.

Well, I knew it was a good set-up...... ;)

Another good version would have been "I can pee a lot, but usually I don't have to concentrate too hard...."

I think what I read a long time ago was that pee does add nitrogen, yes it needs to be diluted, and even if diluted, at some point you're adding some toxins and stuff that isn't very good. And of course.........indoors could lead to a not so fun odor....

 

[Cypress66]

Does anyone have any examples of "bro-science" that they've used that that seemed to work?

Or has anybody debunked any of those myths?

(Bonus) whats the dumbest thing youve ever heard to do? Someone told me to take wire-hangers and "choke" the stalks during drying and it will squeeze the thc further into the buds...

Last garden i in my infinite wisdom of mine. Despite the fact that I have learnt the necessary amount of the necessary nutrition for my plants in the ec area of things. I decided to use my old ways of giving the right amount according to the information that is on the feed chart for the flower in the weeks 4 and on the 7th week I have been literally halving with the base nutrition and I normally have not been giving any of the pk supplements in the monster bloom and the heavy bud pro and the plants were much less in the final stages. If that was the problem with them. I really don't think they will need to be having any of the boosters in the late flower period as 7th week onwards and the best level of the nutrition has been told to me by my friend the aqua man no more than 1.2 ec is really not a good thing for me plants and its not a good idea for the final results.. My last garden was a bit of a disappointment for me and I'm sure there is a connection with my feeding.. I have had the best yields ever with the lower levels of my feeding and its not something that I would do again. The fact is I thought the 4th week of the plants flower period the plants will be appreciating more food than the early period when they will be in the plumping up stage. I am sure that they would have been better off with the less nutrition and the result was so much d in my yield. So that is a bit of a bro science thing in the way I have been g good results and I thought I knew better than the best I have ever seen in the teaching I have had. Less is more. I have not been stupid with my ec but it has been a higher degree than 1.2 I have been doing for the flower from the start of it. Up to 2.3 and to be honest I don't know what what I was thinking about lol lot of other people who are on the farm are feeding the high level and some of the people who are doing it very well. Experience may be a part of it or something lol peace

Anybody else kinda feel like the whole idea of veg and bloom nutes is in fact bro science?
For years I've been using what amount to bloom nutes start to finish. I've never needed anything with more nitrogen than anything else. A 5-5-5NPK is about as close I get to veg but something like a 3-6-5 is in my wheelhouse for start to finish.

And does any other farming industry use veg and bloom labels for their crop feeding?

Putting an earth strap from your soil to the electrical earth, grounds your plants and makes them get the electrons which they are missing when grown indoors

Weed seems to have very different needs from growth to flower. I'm sure we would all do just fine with one overall nutrients supplement from start to finish, but it probably helps to favor higher nitrogen during growth, and lower N, higher P, K for flowering. I'd rather use organic fertilizer, and even better is to just observe what they could use more of.......and give them that.

sure 5-5-5 would work fine to early flower, then switch to 3-6-5

The ag industry is mostly fraud and deception like the cannabis industry. Less than 3% of phosphorus sold in agriculture makes it into the plant, for example, and this is by design. They split calcium from rock phosphate with sulfuric acid, and as soon as that man made super triple phosphate hits the soil it binds with its missing calcium and both are now unavailable. Never met a farmer who even knew what he was paying for. No different than big pharma. Trust the reps ignore the symptoms and side effects, including death.

Under Leds my veg nutrients are essentially bloom nutes with excess calcium, while bloom largely replaces that calcium with potassium,and is more of a finisher. I see people swapping nutes about a month early, timing them with 12/12, growing these skinny little buds.. I run shit tons of phos start to finish under Leds. No purple stemmed diet lite weed for me.

My first bro science experiment was a great success

https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/acid-flushing-at-3-0-ph-to-reduce-media-ph-works.144820/

Citric acid flushing @ 3.0pH reduced my media pH from 7.8 pH to 5.4 pH. Was told this would not work. Can confirm it works. But it's still bro science.

All the farmers I know do supplement their crops, but with organics, not bottled liquid nutrients.

When I grew in my closet years ago......I used 3 gallon pots, I planted directly into the pots, I used topsoil, a little peat moss, and occasionally added a little miracle grow halfway through. And, I re-grew and reflowered the same plants a 2nd time. I never saw any signs of nutrient deficiencies. If you're using good enough soil, I don't understand why anyone needs to feed seedlings, or at all for the 1st month. Of course, back then I was using a 400w Halide. Now, with 2 powerful LEDs, and since I'll be growing them taller/longer, but in 5 gallon pots......I expect to need some added nutrients, especially in flowering. But I should be able to give them what they need organically, whether it's a little worm castings, bat guano, fish emulsion......all 3 maybe.......and just keep the Ph tight. I'll see how it goes but I don't see a need for all of these fancy super-nutes.........I understand it if someone is using these other kinds of mediums like coco coir....

but people do that

i live in the windiest of cities, this looks like a good method for growing in such conditions
