SHIVA SKUNK (By Cannabis Professionals)

I'll give you the same advice I gave B1v.....do some research. If you want to know how I grow, read my grow reports. You will find answers to many of your questions in my grow reports and other people's grow reports. Just ask B1v, he'll tell you that I am right...

Thank you very much for the kind words about my humble little grow patch....Peace.

 

when i do my research i don't find much at all on the exact growing stuff i want. an you gave other people growing tips. i just needed a little info like what i had asked.i will try to look up some research of my own. but you know how to grow some good stuff in little time. if i were to ask you i know you could tell me how to make my plants look like yours. people come on the hip forums to get some grow tips. i just need a little info toget me started.

 

Look man, I don't know what to tell you. You are asking beginner questions and there are a shitload of marijuana websites that give DETAILED explainations for the questions you are asking, even at this site. What I have been trying to tell you is that since you have began to ask questions, not just asking me questions, you don't seem to grasp the replies. You have been getting asnswers from many different people about both hydro and soil growing, yet you keep asking the same questions over and over again.

To be honest, it's almost like you forget what you read 5 mins after you read it. I hope I don't sound like I am jumping on your case, but dude, you are asking the same questions over and over again...just in different ways. It's not real tough to go to a web site like Over Grow and type in "Germination", or what ever other question you have into their grow FAQ's area. You can find out EVERYTHING you want to know within minutes of doing a search. I know it would be real easy for me to keep answering you over and over again, but maybe if you find the answers on your own...they will stick in your head.

When I first started growing, I was asking the same questions as you....I was told to fuck off and go read a book. Everytime I asked a beginner grow question that could be answered by simply doing a search, I was told to read the faq's at mj websites. It worked out well because I started to learn how to go to different sites and do searches to get as many different opinions to my questions and then pick the answers best suited for my grow needs.

 

ok.

 

This is my last post at this site besides a ocassional pic from me,Guy smiley will tell ya how it is;I have been around here along time and if anyone has something arguemenative about what GS has o say I hope that they do some research or have pragmatics to enlighten those of you who ?
the info ,otherwise absorb it as when GS says something it can be taken wholehartidily.God bless ya all,ADIOSeace.

 

^^^^ Wow...I don't know what to say...? Thank you for the vote of confidence, but I am sure that everyone here would enjoy your suggestions as well...we do have different styles and tend to have different methods of growing. I hope you keep helping out with the noobs and experienced growers alike.

 

Trust me dude...when you start reading up on growing, all of the answers to your questions will be answered. You will feel more confident when you know that when you have a problem....you can go find the answer. Things will become real clear once you start to get different opinions and start deciding on your own what is best for your plants. I'm not saying that you should never ask any questions, but the basics to growing can be found at this site and many other sites strictly devoted to growing your own smoke. Peace.....

 

It's a forum to ask questions, it's not a "How To" on Growing. Refer to my Growing Noobs board..

unfortunately GS because you are an exp. grower.. and a mighty fine one at that... i say unfortunate because it brings on very simple questions such as germination questions. GS IS a fountain of growing knowledge, yes. but he's not your guide... learn how to grow on your own, learn the basics. learn the plant.. but don't impose on others to tell you what to do...

you'll just be ignored.. and laughed at..

...

 

GuySmiley…so you are going to get approximately 5 oz of top shelf weed from two plants in a very small area (not to mention whatever you can glean from the trim)…Bravo, my boy, bravo. How many similar grows can you expect from your lamps? Have you ever done a cost analysis per oz? I am always impressed when ever I see postings of various grows, but this one in particular, to me, is a thing of beauty. Kudos.

 

Say MeanGreen, hope you're amenable to reconsider your decision to not return here. I mean, that's so final! Remember the reorg of this site and Skip asking whether we'd want subcats or not? In following the current debate and the ways in which the newbe questions keep being interspersed in the growreports of some of the more experienced growers I keep thinking that organizing this forum here into three main subcats might help: one being the "GrowReports" where people like you, LuMpY, GuySmiley just post the method and particulars and progress of their current grow and exchange interesting details, variations, curious findings and what not. If that's done with any degree of explicitness, like posting the germinating sequence and materials, the veg cycle with the pot sizes, soil type, watering & fert schedule and light types and intensities then anyone coming into a: second category like "Newbe questions" can be right away referred to such grow report detailing the particular aspect of such question(s). And you'd then maybe compliment it by a third cat with nothing but info...call it "Sources and Links" and anyone who has found good info to any question, (like http://greenmanspage.com/guides/lighting.html for example which gave me all details to any question about lighting type, intensities and whatnot!) can post the links/info sources there and will steer the questioneer directly to the answers.
I think it is easier to give an answer like "do research" then to say "go here or there for your research". I feel that such a reorganization will help people like dirty worms more directly and it'll circumvent the problem of sending away people who come here with questions. This is a forum for all comers, right? It's sort of like teaching someone who goes to school to learn something nothing more then to teach him to go to school!
Just some thoughts. I'll copy this and post it to the SubCat thread as well. b1

 

Hey GS, another thing related to your newyearseve post: you say the key words: "so i have to keep the grows continuous". Some time back OregonMed or MedicinalHydro went thru pondering how many seeds they'd need to germinate per day/week/month to have a continuous supply (representing the amount smoked, like your oz/week)available. Have you done such calculation or have you guys OM or OH (if you're still monitoring this site) figured it out after you first posted that question. Just wondering. b1

 

i had probably read five books over 20 years before i ever logged onto a m.j. website.
and i still ask dumb questions from time to time l.o.l.
but if ya get a couple of books under your belt you will ask more informed questions; and you will find, much better responses to informed questions.

in fact i got a dumb question for meangreen, [l.o.l.]
should i be running this eliecent for my hoods, through the controller, or my light timer.
im running about 70 with the inline on the light timer.
now that im pumping out the heat that is.
and do i need to bring in as many cfm as out
like if i bring in 400 cfm and take out up to 800 cfm is that ok.
seems like it would create a negative air pressure- kinda like a higer altitude-thinner air pressure.

 

When someone asks things like...:

How do I germ a seed?
When do I use nutes?
What type of lighting should I use?
How long does it take for a seed to pop above soil?
How often do I water?

Those are the questions that get asked MANY times a week by many different people. THOSE are the questions I will tell someone to "do research". They are questions that can be found within minutes of RESEARCHING just a little bit of how to grow marijuana. If people kept asking you, "How do I peel an Apple"? Wouldn't you finally say, "Go read how to do it"....?

My POINT is, that if you can't even take the 2 seconds to run a search engine on marijuana growing, you are wasting peoples time and advice. If people want to know about how to properly LST, use a pH meter, or things that may not be be so eaily found, I have NO problems giving advice. It's kinda' like when you were in school and asked the teacher "How do you spell this" and the teacher says..."Go look in the dictionary". The teacher is not saying that to blow the person off, but teach them to take initiative. When the same questions are being asked 7 different times, by 7 different people (usually within 4 threads of each other).....that shows lack of motivation.

I have no problems answering questions, but the absolutely newbie basics are PLASTERED all over the internet. For God's sake, run a search on Google...: "How do I grow marijuana"....You'll get a week's worth of reading.

I hope my "go do research" reply is a bit more understandable now.....

 

Yup, I usually harvest between 4-7 ozs from my setup. I get the most from my 375 watts of flowering light. LST has definitely helped me reach those yeilds. If I were to let my plants grow vertically, I would see much less yeild.

I change my bulbs at the beginning of every 3rd grow. They probably can be used for more, but after 6 months they start to lose intensity.

Cost analysis.... Each grow costs me about $150 between supplies and electricity (no more than $170 if I need a lot of supplies). MY grow room costs $29.51 per month to run (electricity). If I was a dealer, I could sell my buds at $300-$400 an oz.

 

I do fully agree GS, research is the answer. I do have the feeling that many people new to growing do the type research you mention: type it into google. They might end-up at this forum and state the question, however silly and elementary. Might they use this method of research in lieu of reading a book? Could be. If our collective wisdom were organized in a fashion like I outlined, would that not constitute a succesful result of their "research"?
Mind reacting to my post 4 items back, about continuous supply? Thanks for the trouble. b1

 

So basically, you want a FAQ's section....It's a good idea, but will people take the time to go through it? I hope so....

As for continuous supply, I have never kept track of the things you mentioned. I just know that I have to keep my grow chamber going to keep me supplied. I have cut back to where an oz of my bud can last me a month. I was smoking an oz a week at one time, but my tolerance was just getting rediculous.

 

Got ya. I am slowly getting rid of a post-nasal drip by heating concentrate with a hot flame under a metal tray and collecting the vapor in a closed glass bowl and drawing it of with a tube. Verry effective and clearing up those sinuses.
As for how much to grow: how many do you keep in veg and how many in flower? and do you stagger them when starting them?....like 2 or 4 seeds every month and then remove 2 or 4 finished plants every month? b1

 

you telling people like me to do research is more understandable now. i found my grow qustions in my grow books. the only reason i asked those ?'s is becouse every time i grew mj it went like shit. the plants died or grew too tall. i wanted them to grow short and bushy. now i know how to do that. by training them to grow short tieing them to the ground with stacks and string. thinks..

 

So seeing this post Guy helps me to see that it is just a little more then FAQs. If we had htree main categories and one would be "Growers Chat" where you or ecul-le-chat would post your grow reports then dirty worms would be getting his answers. And if he'd have a "dumb" question he would not post it there and get yelled at but instead would go to the "links/resources" section and find the answer without getting yelled at. That sort of organization structure of this forum is whaty I had in mind to try and to propose to the management. Cause I see too where ther's a whole series of questions that pop up regularly and you know hte answer is somehwere in some forum hwere you've seen it discussed but who, like keeps a thousand pages and urls and other forms of references to what all goes by and even if you do,how do you like even organize it on your computer to find it back quickly. That should be done within the organizational structure and function of the forum. I've got to inhale some fragrant oils right now so I'll return to this thought tomorrow and see what gives. b1

 

I will not ask any more qustions cuz i got some mj book and i will do my own research. but it would have been eazer to ask someone on the hip forums who knows about growing cuz then people could get answers fast and to the point with out haveing to look for a long time on the net and the books.......
