hi there everyone who reads this, thanks for stopping in and taking a look. i dunno if this is going to turn into what i want it to or not, and i hope people dont decide to use this thread to bash away at people for crazy or different ideas or ways of doing/trying thing or as a place to state that "literature says this so it must be so"(i say this cuz alot of people quote other peoples testing and experience) because i want this to be a "this is what i did and this is the results i got" thread, but here goes 
. i am a very curious, hard headed,hard working, determined, find out the hard way kinda person. i would like to try and use this thread as a marijuana mythbusters kinda thing. i would like to put some of the "myths" we all hear about to the test. i know that everything that i may attempt has probably been done before but that is where i need to know for myself if these things are true or not . i am sure there are others out there like me and this might be a good starting point for many threads on many subjects. i also have limited time/space/resources so if there are others out there with a bit of time/space and curiosity i am sure that there will be many different so called myths to try but it wont be easy at times. there may will be times that intentional damage to the great plant will be necessary and an ability to toss away plants and seeds without concern(in the name of science). fair to say it wont be a thing for the queasy . i plan on picking a certain myth(or more depending on what i can handle) and posting it as a grow journal so we can all have access to it. i am not sure if this idea is gonna fly or not but i think it is worth a try. i for one am not so fond of the way i get told that if i do something it wont work.... after 15+ years of doing it succsessfully and things like the " i dont think it can possibly work" attitude...followed up with "but i never tried" or " because so and so says it on page whatever outta this book" or experiences along that line. dont get me wrong i have many bibles here myself and a ton of growing experience and put a huge amount of trust in both but am still open minded to new ideas and ways as long as they are tried tested and true . if this turns out the way i hope, it will become a very important and informative thread. if it does not turn out to be helpful in anyway i will not continue on with the thread. it will take some time to properly prepare for this but this is a good starting point... i think .
i know there are a ton of things out there we want to see done but i would like to make a suggestion for the first couple of myths to try....
1) feeding seedlings - when to feed them and how much. i was told that i would kill them if i fed them half strength nutes before they were 2 or 3 weeks old.
2) lst or no lst, which produces more. does letting a plant grow straight up produce as much as a plant that is trained down. is there a noticeable difference in size, structure and overall weight?
3) not a myth but... intentional ph difference in same clones to show symptoms ie. 1 clone at 5.2, 1 clone at 6.0 and one at 7.5 in both hydro and soil
i dunno what you guys think of this idea but i am sure you will all let me know... and i hope you do .
if there are people out there interested in trying some stuff dont be shy.
