if ye never try,ye never know,i broke some plants to shit and they still grew,dont be afraid to bend or break a branch here n there,just see what will happen,its kinda fun,coz its totally abnormal to do,but works good,try new things people
Ummm that's actually not new at all. It's called supercropping. But the way you describe it, it sounds more like you went all hacksaw Jim Duggan on it

Read up on supercropping and LST. Both are great methods for making the plant grow out instead of up. They're also perfect for creating an even, flat canopy.

..I dunno what's going on, but Gary's probably one of the smartest, best growers I know on here. I personally like Big Buddha. He is just saying, don't break her open or go overboard. You're only supposed to squeeze and break a bit of the insides. And opening the outer skin will leave it open to infection.

Thanks for the compliment, but there are far better growers on here than me. We have peeps like @doublejj that dude doesn't just grow plants, he grows a forest of weed lol @Garden Boss grows some trees as well. Then there is @Dr. Who and @RM3 , both are very knowledgeable. If you need to learn vertical or dwc @ttystikk would be a great guy to start a convo with. @Dr.Pecker grows some nice looking plants in organic water only soil. @greasemonkeymann has the organics down, if you need help making compost, hit him up.I know a couple of other ninjas that kill it @Diabolical666 and @.Pinworm. both of them go hard outdoor AND indoor! I recently got to see @Bob Zmuda animal cookies(I think it was?) and it looked killer. There are so many more and I hope nobody gets sad if I left them out

Hey there new grower! Are you excited to grow your first plant? Ready to start harvesting pounds? Well, hold up there homie, you have to be able to get through a full grow from seed to harvest and drying before you can start slangin them bows. Lets makes sure you get off to a good start by avoiding some of these common rookie mistakes bruh.

Rookie mistake #1 Read read read!
The best thing you can do before you ever start growing is reading up and learning. A lot of the questions asked in this section are questions that have been discussed time and time again. This is the boring part for some and I get it, reading a book isn't on the top of the list of things do(getting stoned and pimpin hoes ranks pretty high up there though:blsmoke:)

Rookie mistake #2 Planning
Since you skipped over the studying part you're not all that familiar with a proper grow room environment(with your non-reading ass). So you didn't take the time to go over what you needed and how to set it all up correctly. There are a lot of things to consider here. Things like heat and air exchange, plant count, vertical grow space, and lets not forget smell:shock:

Rookie mistake #3 Over-fucking-watering

Now that you got a little corner of your closet all decked out with a 14w cfl that you stole from the kitchen, a cut up milk jug with miracle-grow soil, and tin foil taped to the walls you're going hard! So you have to make sure this little bitch goes hard too. Time to pour a gallon of water on half a gallon of soil at least 3-4 times a week, that'll do it! NO NO and NO! The soil does NOT need to be fully saturated 24/7! Go back to mistake #1 and read up on watering you asshole:finger:

Rookie mistake #4 Over-fucking-loving

The plant is wilting and the leaves aren't as green as they were yesterday so you flip teh fuck out! You start seeing all these deficiencies. Is it P? No, maybe it Ca? Maybe I burnt it? Must be time for a flush! Yea, lets dump MORE water on it to clean out all that nasty shit in the soil:roll:. You go through all this stuff in your head when its probably just over watered. If you stopped trying to figure out what's wrong with it and backed off the watering, everything would've been fine. Which leads to the next mistake.

Rookie mistake #5 Lack of patience

Because you over loved the plant, you never gave it time to fully recover before you created another problem. Most of the time you have to just let the poor plant grow. We get in our own way sometimes by being impatient. Lack of patience can fuck you in more ways then one when it comes to growing. There is not one single stage of growing weed that can be rushed from seedling to vegging to flowering to harvest to drying and finally curing. You should not skimp out on any of those 6 stages of growing.

Reading this will NOT make you a master grower, but I do hope it helps a new grower avoid a few headaches on their journey to slangin bows and pimpin hoes:hump:. Growing Cannabis can be a very rewarding experience, but there are some that have gave it up because they made it more difficult than it needed to be.


Good luck and happy growing
:peace:
Does growing multiple strands together affect weed quality

Does growing multiple strands together affect weed quality
No, as long as you know the strains and can give each one what it needs. I would prefer to have each strain in its own section, but only because I like to give each strain its own space to do its thing. Some plants grow taller than others and would shade the shorter ones out. Some are hungrier than others and can handle more fertilizer.

My point is I wouldn't want a tall ass sativa right next to a short and bushy indica. But if I had to, I would raise the shorter plant up to the same level as the top of the sativa. So you just have to accommodate each strain.
