First off I'd like to congratulate Heirloom on the chop.
Secondly, I'm standing up in PJ's defense. Yeah, you heard me right.
Though I haven't followed everyone's grows as regularly as I've followed his minus a few exceptions but most of you have seen me make this statement before; "The Proof is in the Budding". I've witnessed PJ grow after grow have astounding results without blemishes. I'll go out on the ledge and say he's had the most consistency of the healthiest looking plants out of anyone I've followed including HB growers.
With that said, we must all remember there's no right or wrong way to grow. I've seen gorgeous plants in so many different mediums here on 420mag that I believe I've forgotten more than I remember. The only thing that counts is the end product and I personally have had buds from uglier plants that out shine nearly anything from my prettier plants. I must admit PJ's a tad bit aggressive in his beliefs but if I asked anyone of you who are religious about who is the Supreme Entity it would be hard to convince you otherwise and we all know there's hundreds of religions.
I'm not taking sides, just giving my testimony.
EDIT: If anyone's willing to send me a free HB Kit I'll be more than happy to do an unbiased side by side Grow using it alongside PJ's Organic Soil Mix following each step to the letter of both mediums using 2 clones from the same mother. I'm sure a lot of you know, experimenting & comparing is my thing.
I agree with you
B A R. You'd be hard pressed to find another cultivator among our troops that turns out product as consistently healthy and potent as PeeJay, and he does it organically. I count us blessed to have him willing to work by our side and share his passion in a way he does so well. We are all in awe of you PeeJay. Don't forget, if it weren't for my draw to no-till, which requires that I maintain my soil community in a way different from your single-use soils, I'd be right there with you. I champion your soils for the same reason I champion mine, the results are, as
B A R so eloquently put it, "in the budding".
We use different approaches to the same ends. This is what
is all about. Let's not lose sight of the fact that this fight takes all of us, united behind 420, to make his dream come into manifestation. Nothing is gained by allowing rifts to open between us. We are a team. I trust we all know that.
PeeJay, I don't want you to ever hesitate to come here and speak your mind (yeah, like I needed to tell you that!
) . I welcome the discourse. I will always step forward to counter what I perceive as intolerance of another cultivation technique though. It seems to be the way I dance here.
B A R, I'll have a fair quantity of the kit left when I'm done. I actually purchased the remains of someone else's leftovers rather than let them go to waste. I have to cover some fees this month I got hit with for allowing grief to distract me from getting bills paid on time
*mutter* so I won't be able to ship it to you until beginning of October, but I want to send you a partial kit so you can play. What do you say?
Laughing with you Bud. 
* Giggle *. This is so much fun. 
Wow! Such a relief!
Sure will grow nice looking plants.
. DeLahaze (Day 39) went back under the lights.
