Optimal conditions would implicate the sun and X climate but where exactly on earth?, since many areas of sun and climates are evidently not optimal, as we subjectively observe. Even what could be considered the most optimal place in nature for mj objectively in reliability of reproduction, might not be optimal to us humans once we apply subjective goals.
That leads me to some questions.
People have reported that cmh reduces flower time, I won't say it's fact but lets assume for now it is. Is it reducing flower time because of the spectrum? and will it only reduce flower time by the value that it closer resembles the sun/natures most optimal place?. Or, is the sun in nature not optimal to us subjectively?, could we reduce spectrum, change light light cycles, increase raw energy/co2 etc etc and make a plant finish sooner and heavier than could ever be achieved in nature, objectively.
If you remove what you don't need and focus on what mechanisms drive what you do, then you will surpass nature in that subjective goal, at the reduction of the other attributes. Or maybe nature already accounted for this and plants only have a set limit of attribute counters that can be divided in varying quantity to any category. Lets say a plant has 100 points, put them where you want, but only 100. I guess the varying climates and mj responses to them could back that a little. For example, if your goal was to grow a mj plant in a cold country you could, the plant would not be huge but that isn't the goal, the goal is to grow it in a cold country, so subjectively all your points are in that trait, and you won. Ehh, it became a ramble sorry.
