If you think about it, root pruning effectively increases root mass by MASSIVELY increasing the amount of fine roots in the inner pot. That place stays moist longer too so your plants can continue to draw nutrients.

Roots circling a pot are largely limited to the outer edge of the pot and when that area drys up, they stop drinking and slow down photosynthesis.

I disagree on some of your points FP. Yes root pruning does increase the primary root mass by alot at times. But in the process of the positive stress applied if done correctly it limits those secondary or tertiary roots to the consolidated primary root mass. Have you ever looked at your root mass after harvest comparatively a plant that was root pruned versus a plant that has not been pruned? You will notice on the root pruned one the primary root mass is more fibrous in nature because the secondary and tertiary roots are growing inwardly rather than outwardly.

That is what i was saying.

Root pruning sends out tons of little roots into the bulk of your growth media. A nice network evenl;y dispersed instead of focused on the outside of the pot.

His 9 lbs. is getting attention for all the wrong reasons.... Do not get me wrong the next beans I am popping are TGA but it is Timewreck and Qrazy Train both of which I expect to be dank as hell. But TGA as a whole is pushing out strains left and right, just kinda waiting for the dust to settle and see what sticks around ya know.

He does but he uses a lot of the same strain to make crosses and its a very stable strain aka jack the ripper, apollo 13 and vortex. I know he has been using jesus OG lately with his new strains which has been made by somebody else. I've watched a few of his testers on youtube grow out the 9lb hammer and had now problems. Who knows but I don't think TGA with rep would release a non stable strain, he has a lot of pro testers he uses.

I believe you are correct, otherwise I'd have been all over it
Minus Little Blessings, 1 and 2, Bodhi hasn't released anything bastard like to my knowledge.

I'd definitely be popping those. I'm still excited to see what late night, pain killing cannabis I can find in TER.
HP13 is from the original bastard series.

I only want to find beans if I let them get there. Otherwise they are undesirable in my grow.
That is why you have to run the seeds and find a stable mother......a keeper, one that won't hermie. It can take several runs but this is how new breeds are made. Luckily these seeds came from fems and no males so they are 100% fem.

Could you imagine all the pheno's you could get from Goji OG x Chernobyl? A lot thats what.

Chernobyl: Blood Wreck x Jack the Ripper: Jack the Ripper: Jacks Cleaner x Space Queen
Jacks Cleaner is from purple haze, Northern Lights, Jack Herer, Skunk #1
Space Queen: Romulan x C99, Princess x P.50

Goji OG: Nepali OG x Snow Lotus
Nepali OG, OG kush, ChemDawg
Snow Lotus: Afgooyey x Blockhead
Afgooyey = Maui Haze
Block Head = Sweet Tooth = Sweet Pink GrapeFruit = Blueberry = Temple Flo = Afghani.

I do my homework on the reg. breeding is very hard and takes a long time and testing. That is why most don't do it, the number of excellent growers out way breeders probably 1,000 to 1 and that is only counting the known breeders.

Lots of strains are accidentally made due to these same circumstances like Golden Goat from a breeder out of kansas his plants accidentally got cross pollinated by another and bam he eventually came out with the very potent clone only Golden Goat, the rockstar of Denver dispensaries.

True true many times accidents have made stains we love. However from my experience of bag beans and most likely accidental pollination, plants tend to have undesirable outcomes like intersexing. I'd much rather have true breeding happen from plants not hermied is all. To each their own, and I do love Golden Goat.

The Goji OG's were grown from seed and so were the Chernobyl. We grew out the chernobyl at least five times from a couple of strong mothers and got every pheno it is known to have, the Green Crack was a clone from Dark Heart Nursery that we get from Harborside Health Center in Oakland. DHN cuts, imo, are the best this dude knows his shit very well. I kind of wished we found a dozen or so seeds from the GreenCrack aka DreamQueen which DHN calls it cause he doesn't like the word "crack" in a medicines name, he is very passionate.

But I understand what you are saying.

Is that what they are calling it now? Up here and even saw it in the Bay it was being called Green Ribbon.
