What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

outside grow. pots 21×18. big enough? hot dry area . should I burry pots? will shade cloth be needed on 120 degree days. my well water at 7..4 should I take it to low 6. thanks Admiral at wahooscott44@gmail.com

Well the amounts they post are always in a sea of green. So they have alot of plants in the amount of space. I can say that over 1000g can be done in a 4x4. I exceed that sometimes but I use a 1000watt hps/mh and another 424 actual watts at the end of flower. But I grow far more plants than probably anyone here. But that is in cbd plants. 600 grams per 4x4 is possible for everyone. Just takes practice and loving and treating your plants like a pet.

I’m asking mainly in reference.. because the journal I may post next.. the lighting is 1200w led with dwc hydroponics.. single topping with lst.. in a 4.5/4.5 Mylar (grow tent replica) oscillating fan.. fox farm nutes and hydro guard.. strain Black berry kush and 1-95 with bbk suppose to be around 450 and i95 suppose to be up to 400... I also have some amnisia white rhino and blue dream and thc bomb 450,350, 500 550 respectively I have caramelicious too but can’t find quantity info.. on that one.. all thc level around the 20-25 range I know these are all under perfect conditions I’m just trying to figure out.. my next step..
Kinda a copy cat of nebulas.. I get a lot of starting ideas from this forum.. I’ve been a farmer for a bit now

In the article the tent is 4'x4' and just over a m2 but the grow could have been done in a 3'x3' which is smaller than 1 m2. The total harvest was 646 grams so the breeders estimates are not out of line but a beginner in soil with mediocre lighting is generally not going to come close. That was a high performance hydro grow by an experienced grower.

Thank you oldjarhead100 that’s a great answer and pretty much what I though.. but when I was reading nebulas example it confused me a bit because I thought her grow was near perfect

[Farmall]

Although a nightshade plant, it does not grow like a tomato which would put out roots

[oldjarhead100]

No it wont I did a fluxing last summer and had all of the side branches tied down no roots grew on them ,now if you covered them with soil maybe

[oldjarhead100]

the estimates that breeders give are under perfect conditions, if you can get 350 from one plant with a 600w light .I would say you had a very very successful grow .

every time you stress a plant it hurts yield

[Daskahn]

NebulaHaze Here’s my question.. in your example grow(wonder women under a 600w mh/hps) you got 351g off of one plant.. and I thought that was wonderful and more then I could ever hope for.. but I looked on seedsman and they claim the average weight could be between 450-550 m2 I believe do you think they are exaggerating or do you think something could have been done differently?

?? If I bend my plant over and pin it to the ground at the nodes, will it create additional roots from there?

[KLong]

I may wind up pinching the tops on the sativas. The main top if it gets really too long and the side branches if they take off quickly or I simply want them to fill out with more colas, but the intention right now is just to bend the plants over towards the south, the sun and downhill without any pruning and let the side branches grow up with the oldest branches being tallest.

[Daskahn]

Your plant probably won’t grow six feet tall after being bent and staked best thing though is you can pinch the top/s so if they start to get taller then you would like.. this will slow the growth and help fatten buds anyways

[Daskahn]

I’m not nebula but in general you should only prune your plant twice.. one time in veg and one time in flower.. there are different methods but less stress is best

Hi Ken, I don't know the answer as I'm strictly an indoor grower, but it's an awesome plan and an excellent question.

[KLong]

If a plant will naturally grow to 6 ft tall, will it grow 6 ft horizontally when bent over?

When simply bending a plant over in No-Technique Plant Training without topping and without staking the branches out to the sides, How high can I expect the side branches to grow in relation to the original plant height?
Will they be closer to half the height of the plant or will they stretch to nearer the original height? Will they turn straight up to form little trees of their own that need to be pruned or trained or will they stay shorter and simply form tall colas that need to be staked and supported?


This is for an outdoor garden that I am planning for this spring. I have a discreet protected garden space where I can to tie the plants down and let them stretch out across the lawn in full sun, but I'd prefer to not have them too tall, and I have seeds for Durban Poison and Diesel. two tall sativas, as well as White Widow and a Northern Lights Shiva blend.

thanks, Ken
