I am completely new and need any help I can get

[Fangthane]

Doesn't make a wooden nickel difference in my life. Ido not live an online existence where I am a hero even on breeder forums for what I do. Seen plenty of guys like you in that world and they are never the most accomplished just think the most of themselves.

That's rich, coming from someone who's spent so much time publicly blowing himself over a supposedly high I.Q. For some of us, 135-ish is far from impressive or competitive, by the way. Christ, man. I think you spend wayyyy too much time in your head, and drastically overvalue the real estate in there. I get a kick out of trying to help the very few people who actually know less than I do about growing, but your attitude has even managed to alienate me. I'll probably keep watching, for the dumpster-fire aspect, though.

he's got them up on a diff post.... he is running 2 posts and guys ...... he's old and you can tell it was going ok , shit happen and now he is here... I read people good and I think from what I'm reading and seeing is .. at 1st the guy just DIDN'T know how to talk to this group of people......he needs help and he needs more then I can do for him.... so I'm staying out of it.... But He just started off on the wrong foot, doesn't know anything/but is book smart, No real hands on in growing, so just act like he is your dad best freind and help him out.....

Catz13 Less is more here with you, just Shut Up and read what these guys are saying..... THEY KNOW THERE SH>T and that's WHY your here...

I bet that there are MANY here that are older..LIKE ME for one!:p
From what I can see on this thread..It's about the OP's "tude", so I am watching from the sidelines!

The problem is that no one is actually answering the issue they are more concerned that I have male plants. Well I was told they were female by another person that tried to act like a pro. Calling it her strain. I have since learned it was her second grow. Her first one she bought regular seed from a seed bank and sexed them as females and through out males. Got seeds from those plants and gave me some and showed me this picture as to how to sex them. Since at 2.5 weeks mine were elongated looking then I figured they were females as she had supposedly sexed the seeds to be. Knowing now that she had seeds from her harvest I know why it wasn't potent and that she selected males and passed down the seed to me to raise males. Which is fine. She was being nice. She didnt know what she was doing. No big deal.

But on here no one every approached the PH issues just harped on the fact I had males. What if I was interested in crossing a male UH with a female MM. Then I would want a male. Which I am in no way interested in that I doubt i ever take this far enough to know enough to do all that. But that is not my point. The question never even got answered So I will simply delete my account and move on. Thank you for being kind and trying to help. May God bless you for your efforts!

trust me I have read all of it.... and for someone asking for help your coming across Like a azz...... and that's WHY the posts never get to that point of the help your asking for....
the bottom line your on a web site... your asking for help.... do 1 post...... post pic..... your going to get 10 diff answer but 7 of them will be the same RUN with it... Just Saying

As far as someone giving you sexed seeds that they claim have been feminized. Any seed has the potential of being a male, even feminized seeds. And some strains are more subject to being unstable into hermaphroditism. Genetics plays a huge roll. I don’t care what anyone tells you but you can still have dank weed with seeds in it. That being said. It is easier to remove any males when you see them before they pollinate your ladies. Depending upon what the strain can handle in stress can determine if it could herm. Some strains can handle more and sometimes even growing and cloning out those strains can actually eliminate those tendencies.
I’ve grown enough to know that a plant that may have been seeded once can be cloned and have no seeds the next time. I’ve done it. Any how, like I said genetics has a major role. Get good genetics and it will help you not have to try so hard. I use a method to select seeds that are mainly female by selecting seeds that are more round and uniform. The males or herm has a crease or mohawk on the seed. I generally do pretty good this way. This year I had 19 out of 25 that were female. I have an extended plant count on my med license btw. Make sure you don’t take genetics from people unless you’ve seen the product it makes. And even then you could get a phenotype or something not even close. I made my own seeds and I’m using them this year again. I’m proud to say that I’ve created seeds that are nearly identical to the mothers and the crosses exhibit stable and strong genetics pairing two strains magically. If you want to grow weed that is medically strong and not just weak sauce. Then you need top notch genetics and the ability to make great soil and some experience. But it’s really not that hard to grow good weed.

I know Buzz I'm old too just trying to help this guy out...

I think you know that I like to help too...
It is rare that I sit out a request for help..I almost relented for his wife's sake, but there are enough good growers here to help in this case. The idea of criticizing a gift link to free pot books was what did it for me. That's plain RUDE.....not to mention that many of those books contain knowledge that is ageless.

These folks on here are trying to help you out and at every turn you try to belittle them. There are some very knowledgeable farmers here that it seems will not even venture to give input on this thread. I am sure they have read it. Ask your questions, provide YOUR information, read the answers, make up your own mind, and be greatful

I just finished 9th chapter of Ed Rosenthals book. And this is where he discusses preparing the soil. Mostly just like a basic garden preparation. You said that this book tells you ALL you need to know. But so far not one thing about NPK ratios. Which my original question related to PH and my inability to lower it. I have since lowered the ph not through adding the acid additives that I had purchased from our only grow store. But rather I had not been giving enough feed. Reading stuff on here how newbies all make a mistake of over feeding I did just the opposite and didnt feed enough. When I pounded the soil with food since they were males anyway and had nothing to loose my PH plummeted from all the acid that I had added. NO one answered my question they just went off on a tangent about the plants being males. Which if I wanted to raise males I dont see how anyone can be the cannabis police and penalize me for doing so. It would be my business.

I dont mind taking advise and have. But if you cant see that none of y'all were answering my issues about PH then you dont want to see you just want to continue to be a jerk to me and think I am stupid and bullheaded. Which is fine you are welcome to your opinion. But i dont have to share your opinion of myself just cause you want to be a bully. This online crap always gets out of hand because people assume they know what others are thinking and doing. Like you are sitting in my living room with me and know for a fact I am not reading what you suggested. And in the begging yes you just gave me a link to free books. You DID NOT point to anything specific so I just began at the top and read through first five until I got to a point in each book that I could tell it was very old information and everything on here completely contradicted it. Even stuff I have read on your posts.

And dont worry I probably won't be on here much. As I have said on my other post in the infirmary. I came here to save the plants in a last ditch desparation> Since people were not interested in helping me do that but rather more concerned I had male plants then it was pointless. Even if I had males teaching me the chemistry of the soil and what was going on would have helped me raise females in the future. But that was not accomplished so again it has all been pointless.

So go on and have your fun insulting me and trying to get laughs from your fellow buddies on here. Doesn't make a wooden nickel difference in my life. Ido not live an online existence where I am a hero even on breeder forums for what I do. Seen plenty of guys like you in that world and they are never the most accomplished just think the most of themselves.

No i recommended the ed rosenthal book called the growers handbook. I thought it was in the list but after i posted it and looked at it again i told you the list has degraded and only his “tips” book was found in there. The list ised to be better and different. I thought i was helping you by linking a free library.

But you are argumentative and not cooperative in discussion so i stopped. You havent even learned to identify a male or female plant and that info is in every grow book.

And you are the insulting one. I dont work here. We dont have to help anyone. I was helping because of my good nature (lol) but you need to learn to talk to people online.

But to learn you need to slow down and listen. I trained hundreds of salespeople in my career. Most people have problems turning themselves off and actually listening to others. Me included.

I would have loved to got into the sales of seeds but I have no idea how to go about that legally. I stopped doing my isolation chambers and pollen chucking. But I could start that back up again someday.

Ok, ph to high beacuse you have hard water right? Ph to high? Buy spring water the cheap stuff at 89cents a gal is ph neutral, as for mix I recommend fox farms ocean forest, use clay for drainage, 4 parts dirt 1 part pearlite for airation , ok you have a nice cool mix suitable for both autoflowers and photoperiod plants, now you need food i recommend botanacare pro grow, ppm and such is on the directions, for autoflowers cut way back on nutrients or you will burn them, for blooming i use botanacare bloom soil formula or atami bloombastic, now i have recommended the right soil for both autoflowers and photoperiod plants, i know it sux to buy water but if its that hard its a cheap option, or you can try to distill your own water, i recommend a nice light food but a good food for both autoflowers and photoperiod plants ppm are on the directions, if you want to stick with botanacare in bloom that's fine, I like atami bloombastic 1 & 1/2ml per gal on low side, now I have recommended a good food, good blooming agent for both autoflowers and photoperiod plants, I have no idea how to help with your plants now beacuse I need pics to trouble shoot, so please don't say no one is willing to help, I have to grow autoflowers due to circumstances I have been growing them constantly for 8 years so me and a few other people do this here, you do not run them like photoperiod plants there difficult and a bitch, I'm better suited to help with those, the reason you ask a question and get 5 different ansers is common you need to use your commen sence to trouble shoot your own plants, what I mean is if I get multiple answers to a problem I go down the list, could it be this? No? This ect, you need to learn to hear with your eyes so you can catch stuff before it becomes a major problem.
