I grow organically in living soil. I have developed my methods over the last 10 years and it is way to complicated and confusing to explain. My living soil recipe for example has 26 ingredients and I am sure that every other self taught organic growers methods are just as complicated. I suggest that any newbie watch Mr. Canucks Grow videos on You Tube. They are simple and easy to understand and I am sure you will have success the first grow.

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

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I have a heavy hand watering so it works better for my style

I like this idea!
Let me no what I can do to help facilitate this goal. I need to get off my lazy ass and contribute more:)
I’ll contribute this new grow tent to this project.
Just starting my environmental goals with this tent,
I treat all my grows with K.I.S.S. EdictView attachment 2122204

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 still have both bags of my megacrop and kelp from that giveaway, I keep lookin at it haha thinking about using it. I I can confirm it will grow huge tomato plants .

Ive watched tons of his videos, I run Gaia Gaia green, EWC, epsom, gypsum, azomite, from middle of flower forward they start getting flower fuel once a week, I tweak the Gaia amounts but his method is good.

My growing method is similar. I'm always trying new things, though.

This thread sure grew quickly. It took me quite a while to catch up. It's good to see so much interest. I agree with most of the basic ideas. It seems one of the main difficulties is managing complexities.

I've traveled down a similar path in terms of creating documentation. I have been writing about my growing methods for about two years. I have a complete outline that's nevertheless still a work in progress. I have also been collecting research and done a lot of writing. That includes taking things I've written on forums and saving them for future use. I've found that correcting my own errors and misunderstandings can be difficult and time consuming.

At this point, I imagine I could easily spend as much time as I've already spent and probably much, much more. Whoever wrote about thinking at the start that growing would be easy described my circumstances perfectly. Even if I confine my documentation to my own style of growing, it may never be completed.

I do like the idea of a forum for either tutorials or maybe start-to-finish methods that are known to be successful. That's the key concept, I believe. Basically, simplify the process of how to grow good weed, each written for a specific growing style. Having followed a plan that's known to work, the new grower can then proceed to future growing with the confidence that comes from a positive experience. Thus, the task at hand is to provide a solid foundation from which anyone could apply and increase their own talents.

Be sure to keep a journal of what you do. I also

I dislike watching instructional home-made videos. I'm annoyed by spending way too much time trying to extract useful information from meandering, unscripted, stream-of-consciousness blathering. After watching such a video, I almost always think to myself that the important parts could have been written in a single sentence or a short paragraph. And why is landscape orientation so seldom used? Use of a tripod or having an accomplice hold the camera would be nice. Shakey, hand-held recordings give me motion sickness. Those new devices that hold a camera and follow a person as they move surely have potential for DIY videos. Of course, having said all that, I could never describe myself as a legit experienced grower. I doubt I'm legit anything. So, no worries.

Especially those guys with the straight brim truckers caps that talk in the fake high pitched voice trying to sound like they are straight out da hood.

Anything I do to a plant gets documented

Yeah the scene changed fam use for be all hippies in tie-dye and long hair, I remember buyin buds off folks and they’d come out with a branch right off the plant sayin don’t forget to cure it couldn’t get any fresher just had to buy ahead of time haha

My simple system is this:

Start your cuttings/seeds in bigger, pre moistened pots. Fully saturated. You'll see what the plant naturally grows like. Feed low dose organic fert or water treated to replace highly soluble nutrients (cal mag sulfur etc). RO water will grow crappy weed in even the best soil!

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

Megacrop = purple stripes on stalk and fungal issues in roots. Never over watered a plant in my life. Except the entire room of megacrop in one shot. Bark turned to cum-scented slime by the time I pulled them. Lovely stuff smelling a room of cum all day wonder if it's gonna spread. Is this how calnit guys always feel?

I'd use their 2 part and replace the calnit with cal glycinate + glycinate EXCEPT they have way too much Mn for Cannabis. Ratios are nothing like the one part. The only reason I bought the shit is because I saw aminos but nope it's calnit.

Yeah I’m like a damned wet nurse some times, but I generally go off pot weights. No runoff.
I’m sure if I was too, it would help, but I agree, if it ain’t broke…..

Well, I have wonderful plants constantly with it. I haven’t had a single issue. It works for me man. Beautifully. Sorry to hear. Probably had a hot mix man.
This is my flower room. Everything in here is happy. None of the ailments you are explaining I have never seen.

RO doesnt grow crappy weed man
Jusg gotta add back what you stripped from it its all about control of what you give your plants

Maybe RO doesnt benefit in organics not my territory

Halfway through week 3 of flower and looking hella sexy

I don't. I only grow a few plants at a time, though, so I don't really need a written record. I just focus on reading the plants and giving them what they need, when they need it.

It’s not so much the notes I need, my dumb ass will forget if I hit them with an amendment or not a few days back and I’ll hit em again, journal keeps me on point

These are the times that I wish I still did it.
I use a calendar for the most part. A feed day gets marked with an “N” and that’s it.

well, I hope this doesn’t turn my grow into a jizz factory

It won’t!
