I believe it was Ghandi that said this firstgo with a fan
fuck the police
Totally with you here...peaceBelieve what you want JN811.
Wind does indeed improve the density of the stem/branches of ANY plant in the universe.
How ridiculous.. Im outta here.
Maybe you should JN811, we might get banned, or written up for contacting FDD2BLK, for whatever reason.
good point.. name calling will win this argument.. grow up.. your just wasting space once again.. OH IT DEFINETLY DOES CAUSE PROMITIUS SAYS SO!! .. why say anything.. u dont look smart because you voiced an empty opinion I love it how ppl call me arrogant cause I understand botany and can grow great bud and a ton of it... must be the fansdebates are logical this guy is just arrogant and ignorant.
in nature cannabis has wind blowing on it and it definitely makes it stronger.
thanks for the info. honestly I dont think my stems need to be any stronger than they currently are, or could be with the addition of fans.. I couldnt break them with my hands so they are strong enough in my opinion.. but pointing a fan on plants constantly can also dry leaves out and slow flowering... just another fact.. making ur stems stronger will not increase ur yield.. anyways thanks for some info with content.. but Im sure you can agree lighting will affect stem growth at least as much, in my opinion, way more than wind...I have seen this same topic of discussion many, many times over the years but people keep debating it. It is threads like this that make me wish growers would learn a bit of botany.
Very simply and very basically put, tree trunks and bush and plant stems will all sense pressure they are under and if needed they will adapt their growth, they will grow more/larger/stronger in the way or ways needed. Depending on what sort of stress a main-stem is under its growth will be different, along with much of the entire plant for that fact if conditions would be severe enough.
Lateral movement caused by wind, the side to side, back and forth, twisting and turning, pushing and pulling stimulates growth in plant main-stems and the same in bushes and the same in tree trunks. It is a scientifically proven fact … so learn it, live it, love it ……. and then for the love of Hannah, stop arguing over if it actually happens or not.
If the wind always comes from one direction an involuntary growth pattern called flagging can occur but that takes fairly high winds before a real problem would develop and it is unlikely that anyone would put that much air movement into/through their plants. In severe cases growth on one side of the plant can either die or just not develop and most to all growth will be on the other side of the plant and in a direction away from the wind, and the plant will of course lean in the same direction. No one will ever have such conditions in an indoor grow-room. You might see that growing outdoors depending on if where you live has the unique conditions needed to cause it. But it is a growth reaction caused by wind.
If winds are high but not primarily from any one direction another growth pattern will be seen, It is called thigmomorphogenesis. The least protected plants, those taking the worst of the wind, will have shorter stockier growth and those more protected will grow taller and be more branched out.
So what is wanted is light to moderate air movement that does not always come from the same direction and the results will be thicker stronger stems and more uniform growth.
they wont collapse but they can def. snap off when moved.. Last grow i had that happen a couple of times when they got entangled with others. If this is a concern buy some twine and tie them to the main stem.. This grow my branches are all much stronger.. I think its dependent on the strain, nutes, lighting, ect.. and yea I think branches continue to strengthen throughout flowering.Do you guys think the weight of a branch on a marijuana plant can become heavy enough quickly enough to become a problem? *Is it possible for buds to grow quickly enough that the stem/branch cannot strengthen itself at a proper rate and collapse? *Do stems still thicken and strengthen much after the first couple weeks of flowering?
