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.
