@Kushycat, it just looks like a lot hehe Electricity has been at a similar level in recent years, which compared to the NDL from back in the day is really just peanuts 🤭

@Kushycat, I could bring a bunch of Grape Pop Rocks Auto to the friendly team at the billing department of the utility company... I'm sure they'll be happy 🤭

@PhinolaGreen, I'm not changing my phone. Instead of opening it on the app, I open it in Google Chrome and it translates everything except it's Google. Their app doesn't translate to French yet.

@squalino, that what you mean with the Translation is a automaticly function in GD. The idea behind, is to Connect all People all over the world with the same Speech. So the "Google" Translation is an function in GD 😊

Smile and wave…. You can't kill everyone😅 everyone has their own style. I'm not a fan of torturing plants excessively either. But the results from the plant torturers look good, that's not wrong… just not my style. Don't let it get to you.. that just raises your blood pressure. I wouldn't even engage with it. Ignorance is sometimes stronger than striking back😏

@GreenHobbit, well yeah, it's definitely not easy for the plant to handle and compensate for 24/0. I won't deny that at all. I've been working with 24/0 for a long time now and have developed a technique that the plants seem to accept despite the 24/0. You might think that's great or not, but I think the plants look top-notch except for the bugs on the leaves. I've also grown autos on 18/6 and 20/4 for 2 years and then thought, maybe 24/0 could work too. At first, it was a struggle. But now, even with the mineral nutrients, the training, etc., I don't know, if it were harming the plants, I'd have much worse results, in my opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's not about increasing yield with 24/0, but rather pushing the plant to its maximum. The basic DNA of the autoflowering ruderalis comes from the northern latitudes of Siberia, where summers are short and the days can have 23-24 hours of brightness due to the latitude, and that leads, in my opinion, to modern, stabilized autos being able to handle 24/0, which I'm testing here. So it's not about "torturing" the plants, but rather being able to push the limits of what's possible based on their ruderalis DNA. I honestly haven't had such good results as I have since I switched to mineral nutrients and started doing mainlining and repotting... All parameters that are not recommended for autos. And I want to partially refute that here on Growdiaries, that it shouldn't be possible. Everything is possible as long as you're wild😌😅💚

@PhinolaGreen, I meant that by stressing, it’s always said "Autos can’t handle stress" and I’ve seen a lot of posts where top results were achieved despite massive stress 😅 and that’s something everyone has to figure out for themselves. As you already said, basically there’s no right or wrong in this.

@GreenHobbit, yeah that's true but also with the stress, especially with 24/0 the plants are constantly under some kind of stress to grow xD So it looks easy, but small mistakes when topping or something can cause problems for the plant. I learned with the 24/0 that the plants, under good conditions, good training, and sufficient and quality nutrients, are able to push their limits. I had my photos around Orange Sherbet FF Fastbuds on 24/0 for 10 weeks too. They didn't find that very funny, for example, but I wouldn't do that again with photos in the future. What I've noticed in 5 years of working with autos is that the stability of the batches from 2021 wasn't as stable as they can perform now for me. You can really see who cares about breeding or just mixes something together because it sounds cool from the seeds. And Fastbuds, not wanting to advertise, but Fastbuds have never disappointed me. That's why I'm currently doing so much Fastbuds. The genetics from FTB420 are super stable, they put in the effort, and I was already blown away by the RF3 strains this year and I'm excited to be able to test the F1 strains now 😌🤤💚

Please give us more insights like this :D Really cool story, have you grown anything from that seed? ☺️🌿

@TentCity, hello, Yeah, we actually had to first check if the seeds were feminized and started with 20 plants in 1L, and yes, all 20 were female. Following that, we wanted to see how the strains were and did a run with 3 strains of 3 plants each: Big Bud x Royal Gorilla, Northern Lights x Royal Gorilla, and Royal Gorilla x Royal Gorilla. The yield wasn't particularly great, but I remember that the Big Bud had that typical Gorilla flavor from the cross, which became noticeable later during curing. My buddy recently tried his seeds, but unfortunately, the germination rate is pretty bad since the seeds are almost 8 years old. I'm not really interested, as I've specialized in Automatics and would rather start a breeding project with autos than select photos. The 9 phenos ended up being too different for that. They all had their base DNA, but the Gorilla developed its own typical traits in each pheno. The NL x RG smelled like NL in one pheno but was as frosty as RG, one pheno smelled like RG and NL and looked completely different in growth pattern. Hope that helps! 😄😌

@PhinolaGreen thank you for the details 🙏 I really didn't expect 20/20 female 😄 and the different traits in the crosses are quite interesting. It's just a shame that the germination rate is so low now.

PhinolaGreen commented3mo ago

@mariohanner, Also: Growing is not an exact religion with just one holy way. Especially with lollipopping, there are countless different philosophies. Some radically shave everything off at the bottom, others leave significantly more leaf mass, and yet others adjust it depending on genetics, light intensity, or plant structure. As long as the plant looks healthy, grows reasonably, and your approach works for your setup, that's the most important reality — not some comment saying "but you're supposed to do it this way.

PhinolaGreen commented3mo ago

@mariohanner, dear Silokan, you are making a fool of yourself in front of the other growers here. Why do I see it this way? You are trying to attribute some "mistakes" to me and completely forget that you are not the standard for judging this, but that every grower follows their own philosophy when growing and still has success. You want to tell me something like "But this is how you do it" and in doing so, it’s only about your own self-promotion. Silokan, I don't know what prevents you from accepting that others pursue their own individual philosophy for growing and act accordingly. So please stop taking your own freedom here and wanting to dictate something because that’s not how it works. You will only meet laughter from me with that. So why not invest your time meaningfully elsewhere and let me grow the way my philosophy dictates, and the world has one less stage. Do everyone a favor and stop acting important in the comments because you are not, Silokan, and you will never achieve that with your way of communicating. So I have now reached out to Growdiaries, and they should decide for themselves what happens, Silokan, that is no longer my responsibility. I wish you a nice weekend 😊 😌 💚

I would rather recommend a 20/4 cycle (even for autos), as the plants have a bit of time to recover, especially with the lights you have hanging over them. Are you measuring your pH and EC? It could also be the camera, but they all look a bit pale around the nose. Happy Growing!!!

@PhinolaGreen, "Brauner" is a classic German term for a brown horse – also known from Richard Wagner's Valkyrie, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a staple of opera literature for over 150 years. Anyone who turns that into an accusation of racism shows that growing isn't the only area where one should probably do some reading first 🤪 and that's enough now!!! Happy Sunday

@Salokin, oh come on, don't talk such bullshit, master. They weren't and aren't interested in an exchange, otherwise they would have addressed my knowledge level. You better stick to Google and leave the growing to people who actually know what they're doing. Such important makers. If they really cared about an exchange, they would have asked something. Instead, they just roll over me here with their Google knowledge and talk themselves up. Yeah, exactly, master. But I'm not surprised they don't get it, the way they think they can express themselves here and want to seem "well-read." Their whole demeanor reminds me of pure narcissism... So yeah, have a nice Sunday. And finally make it happen to stop contacting me, or I won't be able to contain my laughter about you 😊😌

@Salokin, I think yes, this is some narcissistic problem of theirs: because they put themselves in the spotlight here, want to give me advice and impose their opinion with their important-sounding nonsense, acting like they are so well-read. As I said, I have 11 years of growing experience, 3 of which are on Growdiaries. They equalize all this knowledge I have with the simple statement: you have no idea. Are they serious? And they disguise it all under the pretense that they are interested in "exchange." If they had been interested in exchange, they would have asked me something instead of presenting their Google knowledge. I work with the plants and still have to listen to some bullshit from them just because I don't want their advice and have explained to them why, and the only thing that comes to their mind as a last message is to make me look even dumber in their eyes instead of addressing the knowledge I provided. Yeah right, keep cool dude and now annoy someone else with your toxic bullshit!
