Is it them or me?

My first harvest ( Colorado )and my smoke is better (stronger)than any I've bought, other med patients say the same thing. I don't believe the strain has any thing to do with it.

[copobo]

strain has EVERYTHING to do with it.

:rastasmoke:

Well that's why I started this string.....different opinions:D

I think the grow has more to do with the product.

I believe the same strain grown by two different people won't give the same

product, the way you grow it means a lot:stoned:

I'm sure the Kush I grew isn't much different that the other Kush's I've

bought.

take it from a guy who almost never has more than 1 plant of any strain flowering at any given time (I love variety) - it is all about the strain. of course you CAN fuck up a grow with great genetics, but you can't take a "weak" strain and grow it right and expect it to be more than a weak strain.

This is true. Jesus himself couldn't grow hemp into meds.

OP, congrats. Most growers can't realize the full potential of their genetics. IMO it comes down to doing what's best for the plant, some can communicate with them more clearly than others....

a growers skill will only maximize the genetic potential of a strain, nothing more. what your beginning to realize is that most people dont know how to do that. you will learn better than most if you apply yourself and stay humble. OVERGROW

I agree

That's why I'm confused about why my first harvest was so good, I made plenty of mistakes in the grow and still had above average product.
Maui Wowi will be harvested 12-25-2010 :D
I didn't plan it that way, so Seasons Greetings everyone :rastasmoke:

[copobo]

just wait till you are harvesting your 20th round. you'll look back and wonder how you smoked that shit back then ;)

[ben7j4]

I must sound like a nut case, but understanding your successes is just as important as understanding your failures :jointsmile:

[TANKJR]

Every once in a great while, even a blind squirrel finds a nut...:eek:

Don't knock a good product you've grown...be happy and grateful...unfortunately, it won't always turn out that good...unless you've inserted a horseshoe somewhere it doesn't belong...shit happens on a daily basis, and the more you push the envelope, the more can go wrong. :wtf:

The good news is, you have some success to point to after the inevitable fail.
Congrats on the success! :thumbsup:

[copobo]

gotta remember, there is a little luck in every grow!

Shit happened all through the grow already, It's how quickly you react to it,
figure it out and make the adjustments

Ted Nugent smoked weed? .......ya gat ta be kidding

I bought lid'z for $7 on Hollywood Blv.......... 4 finger bags

not to mention how well you educate yourself. tens of thousands of educational hours and hands on experience will teach one plenty;)

push the envelope? Maybe there's the problem, I don't use a fire hose where
a enema bag should be used. My tea's are mild not even midland

[copobo]

did I miss it? what are you running?

medium? nutes? ppm? ph? kw? strains?

[ben7j4]

Repeat please.......didn't get the message

[copobo]

no message, just curious what you had such a great run with.

[ben7j4]

I'm sorry too, those were all questions

Lemon Kush.............I use shit tea + seaweed+fish & u nutes

And Two rules

1. KISS
2. This one my DAD taught me "if it works don't fix it"

Your a Pro and need to get the most out of your plants
This is just fun for me and if the plants want me to start checking that stuff
they'll let me Know:thumbsup:

[ben7j4]

I'll be running a string on the grow but here's some pic's

[ben7j4]

this is Maui the first of two plants, should be done Christmas day
you can see what a little CO2 can do compared to the kush above.

We'll see if this is also above average:hippy:

i think youll find that when you gyo(grow you own) you tend to be more patient. the time you spend on your plants is more fulfilling and rewarding i quality, appearance, flavor and aroma. the agenda becomes different when you add $$$$$. see how profit fucks everything it comes into contact with, up. i need ten pounds this week off of three plants or your ass will be standing in the unemployment line with mcdaniels. well this is not good growing practice and it will certainly disappoint customers when you place quantity over quality. looks like youll spend a couple hours harvestig christmas morning:D better get :stoned:

[KingOfTheRodeo]

hey ben7j4 how hard was the maui to grow? I plan on growing that for my first grow.

I'm thinking that my chemfree approach might have something to do with better quality :jointsmile:

[ben7j4]

Better?

[MEDEDCANNABIS]

each to their own what matters is the end result. i think personal preference can make a big difference especially in the beginning stages of learning. branch out from there and your plants will too.
