i originally necro'd this thread cuz one day i saw a few people complaining about necro'd threads and how stupid it was...so i went looking for a thread that if i necro'd they couldn't complain about. this is your bigger brothers, uncles, and older friends that came before you.
things i learned on my own.(mostly outdoor oriented stuff)
1.breeders finish times are accurate, growers just want to sound smarter than the breeders that actually made and grew the fkn thing.
2.stress induced hermies are not entirely a bloodline ending bad thing....it just means there's decent land race genetics in the plants genes somewhere.
I'm not talking one or two nanners, i'm talking full blown hermaphrodite...if you haven't seen one, you don't know what it is, but you would swear the entire crop and all it's progeny needs to be destroyed....nope, that's dumb.
3.Smaller plants outdoors in higher numbers can sometimes be better option.
4.Spinosad actually fkn works...use it. 2-3 sprays a month, don't go overboard.
5.fireants are insanely difficult to get rid of once established in a mound or pot. try to stop them before they get in.they don't hurt the plants but they totally ruin the human fun part of being near your plant.
6. root mass don't mean jack shit.
7.seeds really only need 3wks to mature. May be a bunch immature, but there's finished seeds in that plant at 3wks if pollen took.

Do you actually believe 1 and 6.
Personally, i have had just about every plant exceed breeder estimates, and used to keep plants small by growing in small pots.

Curious. Since you mostly grow outdoors, have you had plants in pots come close to the size of in ground plants?
I've found breeders outdoor estimates pretty close. Indoors not so much. Maybe just my environment

I know i had to acclimate to here before the plant would get over 5 ft..After each year if would get bigger . until they get back like they are suppose to be.10 ft.You cant get plants no more that just get big.They all only get 5ft.. A plant like that is not worth the time for the output. They have so many now Mostly for Indoors .Indoor plant dont get big.In the outdoors to start.They are crossed up so much.Seems like most seeds are for indoor.Plant use to get 9 to 15 everytime now 4ft is all.Sometimes i thing they just roll the dice for a name of a strain...Over Breeding is a Problem..

Thank god for Beneficial Nemtotes Green Thread will be the best dollar you spend Growing and Drinking dont mix.I fined that People will talk to much About there crop B Good seeds a must.Do not get indoor seeds for outdoors Plant just off road where you would never think a plant was Don't plant in pots in the woods..You will have to water too much..You will make a trail Your holes should be done by now.For April Taste does not Mean Good smoke ! Do not park where you grow. Get dropped off Have everything at hole 1st before you bring plants.. Always cover face !!It don't matter if they have pic. With face covered.. Been there Done That. If you Brag about your plants Your a dumb ass

no...no it doesn't...what matters is root space and feed regiment.
just about every commercial grow with tiny roots.
tiny plant big roots
big plant tiny roots
no...root mass don't mean jack shit. and i learned it on my own, cuz i had a hunch people on the internet telling me it does, didn't add up to what i was seeing in real world settings.
