Make a B student an A student?

Hey gang, I'm very much still an amateur but wanted to run this one past the voice of experience. In my short time, I do realize/understand how important genetics are. And I know that someone like me is still capable of not extracting 100% from my plants regardless of genetics. Do any of you take "average" beans and raise/love them to where they turn into above average plants? Someone throw me a genetic/talent ratio as to what they work with.

I can't provide any numbers for you.

What I found, when I grew a lot of bag seed, was that my weed was almost always better than the weed what was in the bag. There were a couple of freak plants that were just no good, but barring the freak plant that didn't perform, attention to the plant seems to improve it.

The plant is going to be limited by its genetics, but bringing a plant to full ripeness (about 10-30% amber, for my tastes) will bring the buds to, or very close to, their full potential. Most grow fuck-ups reduce yield and don't seem to harm potency as much.

Sure. “Elite” so called strains today are more hype than so special. Decent genetics, proper stable environment and sufficient light and good gardening skills will take the plant to good potential.


Dinafem, Dinachem. Pretty mid price feminized seed. Grown in Ocean Forest with 25% added large chunky perlite and pure blend pro grow only when the soil nutrients depleted about week 2 in 12/12.

went 10 weeks in flower. Yielded just over 5 oz. in a 3 gallon nursery pot. Used Hortilux 600w hps.


she was a perfect grow. Easy plant. Never lost a leaf. Never gave more than 10 ml per watering of PBP.


I apologize as i have posted her before but she is a great example of a great budget plant.

You reap what you sow.

You mean good singing makes them better? lol If you plant shitty genetics will 30% of the plants make great stuff? Me thinks not.

I'd rather be a noob grower with good genetics than a master grower with shitty genetics.

If you breed a poodle to a jack russell, whats the chances of the pups growing up to be champion goose hunter? 70-30 lol

Not if you plant it in cement and feed it with oil and give it black light inside the freezer.

All parameters are equally important. Science even adopted a law about it.

no there are many parameters to consider. Its like 6% all round or something if you consider all nutrients, environmental parameters etc.
