What’s GNick55 up too

[GNick55]

How was my post a word salad? It's pretty coherent. Is that really the best you can do? If it's a word salad, how? I don't need to read, watch, or examine, his 14,500 + posts, videos, and pictures. I never said he doesn't have any clue what he's doing. I only told him that he was taught how to feed his plants, incorrectly, everyone has. I used to feed my plants incorrectly too. I'm not saying that I know everything, nor am I telling him that he knows nothing. You really don't need to think in that much of a black and white binary, gray and color also exist. I'm not making a word salad simply because I'm using figures of speech that you don't understand. If you can't read the language of symbolism, and you can't understand things like: euphenisms, idioms, analogies, metaphor, or simile, because you have no concept of symbolic parallel, that's not a problem with my delivery, that's simply your refusal, or, inability, to think... Your inability to comprehend what I'm saying, doesn't automatically make what I'm saying a word salad, it just means you're not thinking. There's a difference.

I understand that GNick55 is one of the most experienced, respected and beloved cultivators on this forum. However, like I said before (I swear to God, I really shouldn't have to reiterate this), someone can have years, even decades, of experience, doing what he does best or what he loves most, but, incorrectly, as opposed, to correctly... Just as you can have years, or decades, doing what you do (whatever that may be), correctly, you can also have years, or decades, of experience, doing whatever it is you do, incorrectly. Experience really doesn't mean Jacke Schitte, when your experience, is experience doing what you're doing, incorrectly... I'm not saying that he doesn't know what he's doing at all; I only gave him advice about one thing man, you really don't have to all come at me like this. The twisting of what I said is really not necessary either, you really don't have to strawman me. I never told him that he doesn't know anything, or that he doesn't know what he's doing at all, nor did I ever say that I am the only one who knows anything. He also didn't have to ask me if I'm okay, as if I'm crazy. That really wasn't necessary. Y'all really don't need to be arrogant pricks. I actually have years of experience of my own, I'm working on a breeding project, and I'm not resorting to any Orthodox methods. I'm not creating an IBL; I'm making a landrace. I actually know what I'm doing too, thank you very much. GNick55 over here, however, is the one who has a plant that's dying, who also can't explain why it's dying. But... Hey, we all read his post, he knows what he's doing, right? Oh, ok... Alright, gotcha... That's interesting... Then why is bro's plant dying? And why can't bro explain why his plant is dying? Interesting. Bro know's what he's doing though, and has nothing to learn, from anyone. Ok... Sure. Yeah, because that is soooooo absolutely why, his plant is dying, and, why he can't explain why, his plant is dying... Ok...

GNick55 still has more to learn, and you can learn something you don't know, from someone who has less experience, doing whatever it is you're doing. What matters, isn't how much experience the person you're learning from has, it's what that person knows... I don't care how many decades of experience he has; I know something he doesn't.
A year's worth of experience doing whatever you do, correctly, is worth more than a lifetime's worth of experience, doing whatever it is you do, incorrectly...
No reasonable human being would ever disagree with that.

a plant dying??? where?
making a landrace?? literally impossible at best you can create a heirloom variety which needs at least 30 yrs to adapt,.

I can feel the big ol ban hammer comin soon hey @PrinceO.Peace maybe u could teach @GNick55 how to make hash to his really struggling in that area

 

[GNick55]

haha hopefully not,.,

"You're actually not feeding your plants properly, no one ever does."
Sure buddy, Im not gonna read your walls of incoherent text. That was the first sentence in your first post in this forum. This is not a house? Man what a bummer I really thought it was free housing to good to be true. That said Im just gonna ignore you from now on @PrinceO.Peace unless you change your attitude, this is not the place to argue about your delusions, its a grow diary. Make your own post, debate there and show us what you got.

I think they will be fine, no? I dont see major damage. Also you can vent if you want, we dont mind and also everyone here that knows you wouldnt mind talking about how you feel via private message. I dont wanna try to give any advice because life is fucked sometimes and there's no advice that can change that, plus youre older and wiser than me. Anyway, take care man, think about a new companion it really helps and if you need anything let us know.

 

[amneziaHaze]

Nope, new to the forum actually. What are you talking about? Where in my post did I ever say that none of you know what you're doing? I never said that. Do you really have to straw man what I say? I don't why you guys would resent me; I'm literally just giving you guys advice. You don't have to be so arrogant.
I'm simply telling you guys, that we were all taught how to fertilize ganja plants, completely incorrectly. The entire industry is doing it incorrectly. The advice I gave GNick55, is actually advice that a botanist would give.
The feeding regimen I recommend, is actually based on the part per million counts of each macronutrient, in the dry leaf tissues, of a plant that is in ideal health. There's a reason potassium deficiency is the most common macronutrient deficiency in home grows, a ganja plant needs as much potassium as it does nitrogen over the course of it's life. Nitrogen is also still very necessary in flower, cutting that down to nothing and flushing it out while giving equal quantities of calcium and magnesium in terms of ppm, while overfeeding with phosphorus and neglecting potassium will give you a sick plant. K, N, Ca, Mg, and S, are all much more important than P for a flowering plant and using a Ca-Mg solution that has an equal concentration of Ca to Mg, is just asking for a calcium deficiency. A ganja plant needs far more Ca than Mg. They uptake Mg more readily as well, hence why Ca has to be given first.

If all plants where the same maybe you would have some worth and if you where not a fresh spawn.but your talking to a dude that took more than 100 plants to the end soo....

Why do I get this feeling of someone being fairly intelligent, but probably has no real hands on experience to speak of. I'm not college educated, but when working with those straight from school.....all they have is book smarts. I smash them like ants with my 30 yrs hands on experience. U learn by doing, not reading or talking about it. It only shows u the path.

Prove yourself with grow diaries, then. Get your bibs on and take us gardening, and teach what u preach. We're all here to learn.

Excellent retort.

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

Dude, what's your problem? All I did was give him some advice on feeding his plants, is that really a problem? I don't know how to make hash, I never claimed that I do. Why would you want to ban me for telling someone that he can do what he's doing a better way when he has a plant that's dying for a reason he can't explain? I'm actually on this site to give breeding advice to anyone who wants it, that's where my expertise really is, but I still know what the plant really needs better than the rest of you. Sorry if that offends you, it's just the Truth. The plant will actually tell you what it needs, every plant on earth does. You know when a plant is deficient when the leaves show you that the plant is deficient, likewise, you know when the plant has a toxic buildup a particular nutrient, when the leaves show you... We all know this. Did you see how dark green that dude's plants leaves are? They have a toxic buildup of phosphorus and a toxic buildup of magnesium. Seriously, what's your problem? Why would you want to ban me for giving advice? Are you serious right now? If you don't want to read my posts, don't reply to my posts, don't read them, just leave me alone, why would you have to ban me? That's completely unnecessary. Just leave me alone.

It gets old, people who haven't shown others they know what they're doing and yet give advice. Put up a grow diary and show us what you grow and how you do it before telling anyone else here who is and has been growing a long time and has helped, hell, probably ALL OF US at one time or another how to do ANYTHING! Until then no one cares about your opinion. Just the way it is and I have no idea why that would be controversial in any way

 

[Florida_Mike]

"Dude, what's your problem? All I did was give him some advice on feeding his plants, is that really a problem?"

Dude, that is exactly the problem, here I'll fix it for you: "All I did was train-wreck gnick55's thread and give him some unsolicited advice on feeding his plants, while insinuating that him and the rest of the people here don't know what the fk they're doing"

What you did is textbook "train-wrecking" and is frowned on here at the farm. If someone asks for advice, by all means offer it up, but otherwise, don't ambush people in their own house and start talking smack. If you wanna talk smack, start your own thread and knock yourself out.

 

[Florida_Mike]

You're actually not feeding your plants properly, no one ever does. It's not a matter of quantity it's a matter of ratio. And the correct order of macronutrients in highest concentrations to lowest (ppm, not dry mass, yes I know, part per million is what people go off when they're running hydroponic setups, I just go off of that because dry mass is pretty ambiguous, I do all organic myself) is as such:
N,
K,
Ca,
Mg/S
S/Mg (can be equal

You're not feeding your plants properly, it's not a matter of quantity, it's a matter of ratio.
Ganja plant hierarchy of needs (I run all organic gardens, I know, ppm is typically used for hydroponic setups, but, dry mass is vague, no, I don't use nutrient solutions, only organic matter and homemade compost) goes as such:
N, (40,000 ppm)/(30,000 ppm)
K, (30,000 ppm)/(35,000 ppm)
Ca, (20,000 ppm)/(15,000 ppm)
Mg/S, (4,000 ppm Mg)/(3,500 ppm)
S/Mg, (3,000 ppm S)/(4,000 ppm)
(the plants actually need more magnesium than sulfur, but, both can be given in equal concentrations, so long as you're giving your plants approximately 3 to 5 times as much calcium as magnesium in terms of part per million)
P, (yes, dead last...) (2,000 ppm)/(1,500 ppm)
This is based on the ppm concentrations of nutrients present in the dry leaf tissues, of strong, healthy, vigorously growing, highly productive, ganja plants.
In flower, the only things that swap places, are the nitrogen and the potassium. Yes, nitrogen, is still the second, most critical nutrient, out of all six macronutrients, in flower. I know, that sounds shocking to hear, but, it's true. And, yes, you're seeing that correctly, a ganja plant that is in the vegetative stage, literally means more phosphorus than a plant is in the flowering stage. Years and even decades of experience mean absolutely nothing when it's years and decades of experience, doing what you're doing, incorrectly.

I grow hydro bro and there's no such thing as a plant being able to take more that around 1600-1700 ppm (500 scale) tops. I run between 1200-1400ppm tops, above 1500-1600 the tips will start burning.Am I missing something? Please elaborate on this 30,00-40,000ppm, I'm intrigued...

 

[Greenadian]

Can you hit me up with a recipe on what you're talking about. I will grab whatever nutrients, base form, whatever necessary. I have a bit of extra space and always have a few extra plants. Just lemme know what to add with what amount of water......I will do a grow diary with these methods. Thanks!!

 

[Greenadian]

Not the most knowledgeable with 'organic'. What name brand amendments should I use to replicate your formula?
Im truly unsure on how to convert from dry weight to PPMs.....is their a formula for that?

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

The way things are, doesn't equal the way things have to be. There's no reason to be a dick. Whether you care about my opinion or not, it matters regardless, and this isn't even opinion, I gave advice on the basis of botanical data. Dude, are you serious right now? What's getting old is this human fucking wolf pack, just back off, damn. Who the hell do you think you are to tell me, that I don't know Jacke Schitte? You don't know me. I never meant any fucking offense. All I ever did was give some fucking advice, just some friendly fucking advice, to one dude who has a plant that's dying who can't explain why it's dying... Meanwhile, his plant is showing obvious signs of phosphorus toxicity and magnesium toxicity. But I have to prove myself? Why? Why the double standard? Why do I have to prove myself, when this dude, very obviously, could use a little bit of advice? No one is above, having a little bit more to learn. And the advice, of someone who is younger, who has less experience, isn't automatically worthless, simply because he's younger and has less experience. You can learn from anyone. What matters isn't how much experience the person has, it's what that person knows. You're a dick, leave me alone. I never meant any offense. Damn. I was just trying to be helpful, so fuck off.

Wow, wasnt trying to be rude just giving you some much needed FACTS but You first, Shitforbrains. Take your knowledge and shove it where the sun don't shine. You'll hardly feel a thing I'm sure

 

[Florida_Mike]

Bro, first and foremost, what up with the double standard? Why do I have to prove myself when this dude is showing that he's losing his edge? I was never trying to train wreck his thread. You all just decided to hang up with me like a pack of wolves for giving some advice. I didn't think it had to be solicited, and in case you didn't realize, just like everyone else did, I'm new here. You expect me to know the rules on day one? Bro... Are you serious right now? I never talked shit... You guys taking offense is just rooted in superiority complex, infallibility delusions, a belief that experience matters above all else, and quite frankly, fragile ego. I never insinuated, that he and everyone else here, has no clue what they're doing. He however, is the one with the dying plant, who can't explain why it's dying, when it's obvious from looking at the leaves that the plant is suffering from toxic buildup of phosphorus and magnesium. Why should I have to prove myself here? Dude, I actually have experience. My grow diaries are minimal though. I've always had a problem with state laws and thieves. I never ambushed him, all I did was give some friendly advice. You guys seem like you could all use some meds, chill out. What are you guys lacing your weed with? I'd love to show you guys some pictures of my plants and show my breeding project's progress, but, bro, as soon as the wolf pack backs off, I'd be able to.

Only in your world does any of word salad mean anything. I told you exactly what your transgression was and you still want to argue the point. At this point it's becoming borderline trolling.

We are more than happy to have people on board willing to help others, kudos to you for that. Chill, lurk, get the lay of the land and keep the unsolicited bs to yourself, at least until you get to know some folks and build up a bit of a rapport before slinging unsolicited advice, especially to a mod, who also happens to be one of the best growers you could want to know. No matter how well meaning it is, it's still rude af.

Why can't you admit your woops, apologize and move on?, rather than continuing be an arrogant, self important, pompous ass and throwing even more insults around?

The reason you have to prove yourself here, is bc we all did. Start a thread, read the TOU that you agreed to, join the team and have at the noobs with all your profound advice and wisdom....

 

[Florida_Mike]

Also, how many times do I have to reiterate this? Experience, can also be, experience in doing what you do, incorrectly. I only gave advice on feeding the plants. I never gave advice on anything else. That was it, just that. I will happily admit when I do not know something.

No ones arguing that point. The point is is that nobody fucking asked you for advice (yet) (see, you made me say it; I've trying to be diplomatic until now). Doesn't seem like it would be so hard for someone of your obvious, intellectual superiority, to comprehend.

"give me a pass for violating one rule I knew nothing about? God damn, fuck... I never meant any offense"

See homie, that's the start of humility. That's all it would have taken from the beginning and eliminated all this drama. That will get you much further than arrogance.

Political bs like the slur you threw at plumber is a ban-able offense - just an fyi

 

[GasPlease]

Lol, you sure you want to know the secret recipe? All I've been getting shoveled my way over here is that no one cares about my opinion. It's a little, uuuuuuhhh, "unconventional", just, fair warning... Humans and ganja co-evolved over the course of the last 1 million years, what do you think the ideal fertilizer mix for it is?

Ok now I'm forced to comment on this show. You've convinced me you're an idiot. Can you link sources for all this info that a botanist would say?

Yes sir ......I think I can handle this platform. Hit me up in private messages and shoot me some dry weights that equal up to the ppm's your talking about. I will put ot together today dude. Im all for it!!!

 

[Florida_Mike]

Dude, you've got a pass! you're new
As a matter of fact I am Dog, but that's beside the point. I invented mistakes and fuck ups and continue to make all kinds of them, I never claimed perfection. All I did was point out your transgression and defended the Farm against YOUR attacks.

Chill out and start a thread homie, nobody here hates you. Your methods and opinions are welcome, but there's a time and a place for everything

edit to add: There are a lot of awesome people here and yes, it's like an extended family that will stick up for each other. Some of the best growers and genetics in the world in the world hang out here.

I never meant any hostility, nice to have you aboard

Apologies to @PrinceO.Peace if I came off as a dick and apologies to @GNick55 for tying up his diary.
