Do you think like me that a lot of the information about growing cannabis online is BS with the goal of selling some sort of product? Also is there a place for growers that are a little more advanced to go?

Selling co2 is lol 😆, Adding carbon to soil can lead to both the storage (sequestration) of carbon and the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) through soil respiration. While some of the added carbon is stored long-term, a portion is converted back to CO2 by soil microbes and returns to the atmosphere. You will need to create a high and low pressure front in order to make the soil respire as it where. Its how nature does it. Any plant after harvest with water removed will compose of roughly. 46% carbon , 43% oxygen, 4% hydrogen, 3% nitrogen, 1% phosphorus, 1% pottasium , 1% calcium, 0.5% magnesium , 0.5% sulfur, all the rest of the micronutrients make up last 1% All carbon consists of three atoms in varying combinations, carbon , oxygen and hydrogen. Carbon Carbohydrates =suffix , hydrate Carbon hydration Sugar water. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. LMAO 0.02% no life on earth can exist 0.03% life begins on earth 0.04% 2025 0.05% END OF THE WORLD!!!!! RUNNNN BLOTCH OUT THE SUN! Does that make sense? Around 74% of all nitrogen fertilizers are derived from petroleum gas refineries. Can't patent what is created by the creator of the creation; the law of the land supersedes maritime law of commerce. Imagine the whole world woke up to the fact that there is a creation, a creator, lol, certainly wouldn't have as many pedophiles if they knew what was waiting for them at the pearly gates. 1% of the population are psychopaths An estimated 25%+ of CEO's are psychopaths, probably rising dramatically for megacorps. Corporations use Logos.

Yes, a lot of this is BS, and the main purpose of this website is to be a marketing platform so others can see shit and then buy it hoping it will do the same for them. Grain of salt with anything "internet" related. You can find some good growers on here or other forms but lots of them have moved off to do their own thing as they are sick of the shit they have to deal with here.

Bwaha, i was just reading over some questions and ran into a perfect example of how 'doing' does not teach you advanced concepts like DLI. experience is a great way to learn, but it is not sufficient on its own. On its own you fall into anecdotal traps... things that sound right but the volatility and fog of war that results from numerous changing variables makes discerning actualy cause and effect from a handful of plants completely impossible on anything that isn't terribly obvious. people still that have grown for years still struggle with the concepts behind DLI. Light intensit is a rate of photons per second. A rate without duration is useless. Duration without rate is useless. The fact that it is relative to things like atmospheric co2 , temp and rh also seems to be tough to understand. experience + education creates a synergy that neither can reach alone. Anything that is written differently is just a sign of insecurity.

The articles and grow guides on cocoforcannabis is the best info i've found. The least amount of bro-science by far. The user-submitted stuff is as suspect as all other forums about pot. you can tell by the nonsense verbages used in most things if they are real or some figment. You'll start to see the same phrases repeated that sound science-y, but have no substance. Like 'cutting off leaves so the plant can focus on flower' lol. if they use the word "activates" in some vague way it's probably something retarded. people will argue about things that are quantitatively not true until they are blue in the face because it was a long-held belief before evidence showed how nonsensical it was. you should see parallels in other aspects of life too. The common beliefs are usually bat-shit insane. Like beleiving stress causes heartburn, that eating before swimming causes cramps, or playing in the rain makes you sick.. old wive's tales, anecodotes and gossip. the truth is between small sample sizes and limitation of our senses, you cannot monkey-see; monkey-do advanced concepts. you actually have to learn a base of knowledge some math and advances slowly adding more layers of education before you can even start to gain work experience. We are well beyond the limitations of the eye and tactile senses, which makes some people incredibly insecure and belligerent when their long-held beliefs get tossed on their head. There are numerous, repeated examples of this throughout modern history. The anti-vax crowd is an excellent example currently playing out.

Yes, a lot of BS/ghetto science out there and almost everyone wants to get you to open your wallet on useless crap....i.e. flush "enhancers". Experience is the best teacher...........however, if you are looking for some ground level basic tips, Mandala Seeds have an excellent "grow guides" section at their website. Another forum worth exploring where shared experiences is the flavor of the day, is "icmag.com".

I forgot to write, so let me add. Grow cannabis as much and as often as you can and that's how you'll progress. There is no better manual and no better teacher than the plant itself. When you get to know her, you will get to know her more and more over time, just like with a girl, where after a while you will know exactly by her, what happened and why she is angry, without her telling you anything, do you understand?

There are such things, but actually there are more of them in all other areas than in the world of cannabis. People who work with cannabis, primarily do it because they love it, and only then other reasons come into play... people in this hobby or business are not envious, vain and similar as is the case in other areas, so I think that there are very few such things in the world of cannabis. The colleague before me explained it best. The answer is: Yes, there are such things in the world of cannabis, but I would say no more than 20%, although that is a lot.

My personal opinion is that cannabis has been illegal for so long (and still is in many places) and thus prevented proper controlled studies and scaled agriculture experience (but the good news is that some of that does exist now if you hunt for it). So instead people relied on personal or group experimentation that was passed down or shared in various forms (it's actually fascinating to think about as it is one of the oldest crops for mankind, predating even corn, and we are using some form of this passed down to us). Some of this cultural knowledge works well and some doesn't. And to further muddy the waters, plants are pretty adaptable, and different environments or climate patterns can make those methods more or less successful. As a new grower, I found it hard that even in the grow bibles or online manuals, there was no clear prescription of the easiest "go to method." Much of the knowledge contained can be wishy-washy, suggestioning you can try one way or another, and sometimes even contradictory. And yes, many are produced with the goal of selling something, and sometimes that impacts what they write--but often the lack of scientific proof that one method is better than another impacts it more. But this is really no different from gardening at large, there's lots of misinformation in the void of scientific proof and plenty of companies that promise their products will work (and some do, but not all, and not all to the same degree). One source I have found solid information to dismistify fact from fiction is a scientist gardener Robert Pavlis who runs a blog called Garden Myths (also has videos and books). He doesn't focus on cannabis, but rather how to grow just about any plant well. I like him because he is always studying and experimenting, and when he figures out he was wrong (based on new scientific studies), he'll admit it. I don't think he's perfect, but probably the best overall core knowledge I have found. I also try to look at cannabis controlled studies, PubMed has a bunch. Some are very objective and provide clear guidance. Others are covertly industry sponsored or provide unclear results, so you have to read carefully. This is also a crop that too me is a bit like growing the biggest pumpkin for the county fair, most people don't want a wimpy yield. Therefore, there are lots of people experimenting with techniques that push the boundaries. Part of what I like about Grow Diaries is that you get to witness all kind of technique, experience, and experimentation in action. But great question, I'm definitely eager to see everyone's responses!

Yes and no, growmie 😂 tons of diaries here show people trying alternative methods, brewing their own nutes, or just experimenting to break away from the usual bottle-fed grow life. If you're more into advanced stuff like breeding, clone hunting, or rare genetics, Overgrow is worth a look — more old-school but a goldmine for deeper knowledge. That said, there are some of us here doing weird or risky shit too. Here's my latest madness — might work, might nuke my grow 😅 but that’s half the fun. Still tidying it up, but this is my current project: 👉 growdiaries.com/diaries/275802-grow-journal-by-yan402 Good luck on the hunt, may the dank gods bless your next grow 🍀🤞🔥
