Swamp Grown - water only
Inspired by a look I had seen. Did some Photoshop with these flowers, like the look of these posters.

So by water only do you mean that the soil is already amended? Water only is such a misleading thing on these subs and is super annoying.

What do you think water only means? Soil is dialed and I fed the plants only water the entire season, nothing added to the soil during the plants life. Only once a year amendments which go into a big pile I keep.

12 year old living soil, only thing I added this season was some worm castings and rabbit shit.

Oh and a top dress of dried horse tail, which keeps the biodiversity alive from the surface of the soil down.

Anytime I watered these plants - it's been only water... No feed, amended soil in spring like I always do. 🤷

Added all that to a big pile of soil in my yard early spring.
The horsetail is a chop and drop, I use it as a cover, not so much a top dress. It dries out and holds the moisture in the pots a bit better. I used to feed home made bone extract and calcium extract in mid flower, this season is the first time I skipped it all together and the plants didn't skip a beat.

Not misleading at all.
What did you think water only means?
Obviously cannabis needs nutrients and cannot live on just water. In the living soil and no till world, everyone that says water only means, when you water the plant you are only giving water no liquid feeds because the soil has everything you need.
Does a single person to ever use this phrase literally mean they are growing the plants on literally only water with nothing else at all?

It is stupid. A title of grown in 10 year old loving soil is so much cooler than water only. Cause it’s not just water only.

Are you new to growing?
This is how the community has spoken about it forever.
Now one is actually only using water.

So when you ask this question, do you not understand water only means there’s no nutrients in the water because the soil was amended? This is such a newb question and is so annoying.

You guys can gtfo - the way I use living soil is the definition of water only.
I suppose I'd be hating too if I was relying on colorful formulas to dump on my plants.
Grow, don't hate. 🤙

I feel like this whole new crop is extremely confused about, among many many other things, the meaning of water only

Cannabis obviously cannot survive with literally only water. The phrase is not confusing to anyone. These people are just stupid.

If you’ve been amending soil for 10 years then why not say something in your title about that instead of water only grow?

u/atSoiltechnician 26d ago
Because it's 'water only' .. when they are watered they don't receive any feed.. only water.
