PSA -- overwatering does not cause stunting (edit* severe 2-3+ nodes all orginating from 1 point on apical meristem with zero to little internode length * edit, my bad not fully describing the context properly) of a plant. Mg deficiency starts at the bottom of the plant. Been a ton of bad answers.. not debatable answers.. but overtly wrong answers. seriously, if you are going to answer questions get a leaf symtpom chart and learn the differences between mobile and immobile nutrients and proper understanding of symptoms related to each. e.g. interveinal chlorosis is caused by many things and the location it occurs on the plant and whether it is accomaniied by other symptoms helps discern which cause it is.. it's one thing to have multuple reasonable answers given the lack of infromation and the general context of using leaf symptoms, but some of these answers are so poor and nothing to do with reasonable interpretative differences from one person to another and more about just being wrong about it. Seen a bunch of light-stunted plants lately and the most common answer is "overwatering." how? please tell me how it is caused by overwatering? LOL. that may be occuring but there are no symptoms yet from it -- like wierd damge along the veins that don't match up to typical nute-related symptoms location and progrsesion etc... that's caused by overwatering, butt lack of growth or paling of leaves is not. Again, not about preferneces of pH and things that have a real ongoing debate or need for more information to be certain.. this is about overtly now knowing what symptoms relate to each cause. Killing plants at a higher rate lately, lol..

@00110001001001111O, overwatering in soil CAN stunt plants growth due to a lack of oxygen mate not to mention the unability to utilize the nutrients within the soil

@00110001001001111O, go for it NOT Steve !!! ;) I dont know cases, but overwatering and magnesium have corelation in soil. That i personally noticed. Overwatered plant will grow slower , he is not in perfect conditions, that obvious i think. Just how much slower can be discussed ....

@00110001001001111O, LOL..u make me laugh. Look at all the replies you got to your googled comment that sparked all this. Looks like, wait what is it, comments from other ESTABLISH respected growers agreeing with my made up answers. How about u hit CHAT AI to learn yourself some decency, about helping other growers. Not tearing the ppl down with real knowledge/experience instead of a keyboard warrior. That's most likely an old member that GD banned. A leopard can't change their spots, nor can a troll contain themselves by trying to shine insight on to somewhat tat (there (your) Google searches told you wrong. If you want to get answers from Google, u 1st need to know the parameters of a pheno/environment etc. No 1 grow is the same. But it seems all trolls are. At least you got that going for u 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Gonna be a mix up now that unfortunately Lschnable was dethroned from 1st place pushing Roberts up to claim last month. Automatically making him void for this month. So, 3rd place is still up for grabs. Take it to whomever wants it. (If last months change stands) Good luck & enjoy your beans BTW @GrowDiaries have you now changed T&Cs about new accounts joining GOTM? Some1 clearly put a lot of work and any changes although in small print (changed Possibly) I think fairly needs to be reinstated for last month. He played Fair, called out a troll. And Possibly got hit with trick questions, idk. But if the T&Cs hv changed its about time. I hope this will stop this contest from Growers with OG accounts trying for extra seeds or banned ppl. As a lot of this "New accounts" calling ppl out and growers about how they answer their questions when rightfully I'd say jack "nowadays", about it other than its a bit like calling what it is, 1 calling another a spade but also 1, r something like tat, (I'm sure some numb will chat ai / Google it for us no doubt, how you know, it'll read like a dictionary🤣) but my point. If you're established, be honest up front and no BS accounts, seriously but some effort into your names, or make a fake diary But back to my point. If you've changed it in some way. Last months place should hold. It really is only fair. He Helped a lot of ppl. And I'm sure Roberts would prefer this as there's somewhat an effort put in I'm guessing, (Idk). I'm not tagging anyone, as I hope GD sees it. And explains some if new accounts/zero diaries or both apply now to you been void. If so, what are the new terms? If Possibly to reply we know u very busy running this. But some1 is put out wrongly so imo. I agree with the change if it is that. But needs to be put in black & white with the rules.

I made contact with ministry of cannabis regarding the prizes and Yes it is 25 seeds of one strain
AsNoriu
AsNoriu commented2y ago
@m0use, not always you need to pop all seeds at once. I just tried 7 years old and from 6 got 4 alive. You can stash them for rainy rays if shit ;))))
00110001001001111O
00110001001001111O commented2y ago
@m0use, @asnoriu It's also quite beneficial to plant 150-200% of what you want to grow. This way you can cull the plants that shit the bed early on. Definitely improve consistency of grows.
gottagrowsometime
gottagrowsometime commented2y ago
@m0use, Yeah. I did say that. About it before. But if you can't find a good pheno in a pack of 3 seeds. Is it really worth it doing 25. Also, if u like different varieties of a strain. Pheno hunting can be fun. But these strains, they're are relatively new on here. So my point was only to point out 2dem was wouldn't it be better if they showed 5x3-2x + 5x10 16 growers growing 5 strains would give them a much wider opportunity to show their pedigree.

This thing is hilarious. I’ve seen other people get more than 1 solution and they don’t move from 1. I hadn’t really paid attention to mine but the past few days I have. I definitely have more than 1 and don’t move either. Why do some people get credit and not others? Probably dumb question .. what does work right around here Update: wow it changed but still wouldn’t be correct 😂
Krisis
Krisis commented2y ago
@m0use, oooohhh well alright then lol. I wish they’d put it back to how it was then. I wonder what made them change it. I don’t really mind about not getting credit, it would be nice since they make a contest for it, but I’d try to help either way. Seems they just make it odd to participate properly. Your examples and descriptions make it less confusing though. Maybe they should be employing you for this. Thanks so much again for your help- much appreciated.
Krisis
Krisis commented2y ago
@m0use, shit that’s depressing. I obviously haven’t been around here long but I lurked a little before joining and feel like I learned quite a bit. I was all excited to join and thought it would be cool to learn tons more, talk to people, be part of the community and shit. I really hope it doesn’t die. However, it would be really nice if they made the functionality tons better. It seems like the contests aren’t regulated or handled properly too. I joined one and it said it’s company specific yet through the whole thing .. it’s filled with like 90% NOT the stated company Then, it completed and went to a timer of 2 weeks. I assumed something would happen at that time but nope lol. No word about it. Nothing. It’s just sitting there. That’s a big disappointment and makes me wonder about legitimacy etc. Anyway, with what you know that needs fixed and how to improve on the idea - maybe you should start a new place?
Krisis
Krisis commented2y ago
@m0use, Yeah I hear yuh. I was thinking about trying to work in the industry, but thought about it and was like .. that would probably make me not like doing it anymore and I don’t want that. It’s always been funny to me that people say in regards to jobs that you should do what you love. But. Like.. would you end up loving it in the end?

This site is Broken and almost unuseable lately 😠 sometimes it takes 4 or 5 tries just to load the questions page properly and then you answer a question and it won't save it 😞 or you get an error message even loading my home page stuffs up at least once a day . if it gets any worse I'll take another break from here

00110001001001111O commented2y ago
@Grey_Wolf, defintely.. some tricks i've used that seemd to work... if i am cruising through profiles and it starts to go haywire, sometimes reloading home page then going back to a profile or contest page helps.. i think this has to do with the CSS involved. Pages with shared elements start to have issues and going to a page with fewer shared elements, if any, seems to help. This seems to help when somethign will not load and remains a blank white page or grey 'placeholders' seen but nothign populates... or even if existing chats/chat channels don't populate. clearing cache of browser helps at times. sometimes things work a bit better after that, if they don't i just log out.

Krisis commented2y ago
@gottagrowsometime, Oh hey thanks. I didn’t wanna assume I’m safe to win anything after reading what happened last month.. and how apparently it’s also affecting this month? Too much confusion. Congratulations to whoever wins lol. If I am good to go, or when I am, I’d pick Ducci. I’m pretty clueless on autos, so there was only 2 to look at for me. Zen Gold didn’t interest me much lol

@LSchnabel, They possibly changed the rules. So many ppl making new accounts. That's the only real reason y you'd of been taken down imo, I might be wrong. But, if I am. Just do next with your established account. Sorry about that man..

There is defo some dodgy shit going on here. @growdiaries get on this it's plain to see. From long copied comments and people with 10 day old accounts. What's cheating sad fucker as binary?
00110001001001111O
00110001001001111O commented2y ago
@SkunkleDamo, how am i cheating? You don't understand or disagree with the things I type, therefore, I must be cheating? I've withdrawn from this 'contest' 2+ times already. I'm not participating in the contest. I'm just doing my best to reduce dogma and unsubstantiated bro-science. What is my motivation to cheat? This makes no sense. Also, the age of an account on growdiaries.com/ has zero correlation to knowing how to grow. Growing is easy, if you don't subscribe to all the batshit stupid dogma out there. A bunch of beliefs with no facts to back them up, but the utmost faith in them. I guess it is just inevitably that logical, deductive reasoning makes some percentage of the population angry and insecure. I estimate it's a heavy overlap with those that see zero value in education, yet take advantage of all the fancy tools and modern science only made possible by those that do value education. My answers are not for those people. It's for the 33-50% that use their brains in an effective manner. The great dust bowl of the 1930s USA was in large part caused by the farmers not listening to those more educated on related topics. It took a disaster for them to change their beliefs and methods. Too insecure to admit they were wrong about causality of the situation, angry they were told how to improve their methods, chose to double-down on stupidity, and caused a natural disaster. This sort of phenomenom is on constant repeat throughout history, and it's just ... sad. It's sad so few recognize it and keep repeating the same type of mistakes in new situations. It's like watching a group of people run head first into a brick wall repeatedly for no rhyme or reason. https://youtu.be/8vflFYasVx4?t=18 "When he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them." Bwahaha. Fuck AI. I answer questions better than AI at present, lol.

I think the questions are broken again. No way no one asked a single question for 12 hours. I think adding diaries is jacked up too. I added new and it didn’t appear so I redid it and still nothing .. yet it says I have 2 extra diaries. Ahhh

gottagrowsometime commented2y ago
Questions are stuck. So. Anyone any full diaries from seed-harvest?? Mutated tap root. Possibly double top or twin nodes would be even nicer but I reckon double top. growdiaries.com/diaries/203672-lemon-oasis-auto-biscotti-auto-grow

@m0use, most of that type pages needs registration and sometimes payment for full info, but you can see trends. i personaly use laptop very rare for GD, you make photos, so its easier through mobile, unless you love to photoshop a bit ;))) i can see by my own history, weekly i was getting mesages about certain diaries, now i was away for two month and almost no coments , site was way more popular, diaries for events were reaching thousand sometimes, now its few hundreds max. in 7-8 years they acumulate 85k diaries only, would be fun to see breakdown by years ...
