Rockstar Clones from Bonsai to Outdoors.

They recover very fast from super cropping and thats usually why its used but sometimes if you feed them 5ml/gal ab and 5ml/gal procal when you super crop to far down the branch it can cause them to burn and need to be flushed so its usually a good idea to feed them fresh water after or only supercrop a few inches down the branch and preferably softer branch material because the woody branches can snap completely. They veg faster and stretch more in geopots, smart pots etc. with bigger leaves and less woody stems in veg but they dry out alot faster and require more watering and thats where you need to look at your feeding regime and figure out if the nutrients are to strong. I added a net on the larger plants because I want them to grow shorter in a scrog shape but I honestly feel that the net doesn't look very good outdoors in comparison to letting them grow freely. The only other option is to continue super cropping. Usually the nets are added before flowering starts but there usually using cages outdoors. With 2 additional months of veg I think they need to be started later in greater numbers or flowered in a light dep sooner because they need to be scrogged and trellised or you need to use huge cages and that is how these plants grow. If theres full sun all day long and there started later and are short and compact but theres alot of them its easier than climbing because they get really tall if there grown to full size. 4 weeks from a clone thats well rooted in a small container with full sun and lots of farmland thats enough work, 8 weeks full sun your looking at bigger plants, 12 weeks there probably getting to tall. 8 weeks from a sprout might be a good size plant to flower depending on the seed stock, 12 weeks from sprout is good. Cloning is a negative 4 weeks because of the rooting time and how long they take to establish themselves while sprouts are also negative 4 weeks or longer and the amount of time it takes is usually longer than a clone to start. - I put 3 of the larger plants each under there own net and 3 of the smaller plants I put under only 1 net but I broke a main branch on one of the smaller plants doing that. - For the best experience growing these visually don't use a net and use hemp string to support them or those twist tie rolls. I honestly don't like how the net looks and you could say the same thing about the fences that they use in the outdoor facilities for farming purposes. - My vision is fantastic and then you add the nets and im thinking not good. It works for shaping them and supporting the branches but thats the only thing it does. - I am growing these under the nets but I don't want to I think if you started germinating seeds in early May and it took 5 or 6 weeks at the least to veg them you could light dep them in a greenhouse or start them in a timeframe that they veg in June and July and start flowering in August but I don't think its always an easier idea to start them earlier than April and veg them indoors until May 1st because of how large they get but that does mean that your not purchasing hundreds of seeds and like I said before it takes thousands of 4x4's and 5x5's to supply a 10 pack of seeds here and there to millions of people. Some climates are really great and May weather is warm enough but it isn't so id say June and July making about up around 8 weeks is the biggest size plant that anyone would work with on a large scale. Your vegging ability is determined by how rainy the warmer months are, it isn't always going to be the greatest veg point. Your working with starting them under heatmats and growing them under the Sunlight instead of the indoor lights because of the amount of energy that is required to do something not as important on hundreds of hectares point. Its kind of looking like I gotta drive to the farm to work, thats a little bit of a different scenario than what we've seen in the past with these plants, they serve a purpose somewhat. Its definitely a district issue because they need to supply the field work but its an allergen plant that can't be worked on always in the heat making it kind of difficult to say that its a few people managing the drip irrigation and not alot of people so there is a feeling of conflict with these plants because a few people acquire alot of wealth while the rest are impoverished. Its a very sad plant if you look at it from that perspective. If it was 120 million in sales and 20 million in wages thats only 400 people making a livable wage and im sure that number would be increased from 100 million at the storefront but that 120 million could equal 3000 people fed as its definitely a small ruler. If I dig deeper it might say I need to feed 6000 people. Ive got 5000 people that are impoverished that aren't spending like they would of normally but only 14 million of the 100 million was spent by those few people instead of feeding those 5000 people. Theres a strategy for civilization but this doesn't appear to be one of them, it is a high population that is unlikely able to continue. I do get some filtered sunlight on a couple of the plants at 10:26 am but im only getting full sun on half the plants at 11:10 am so shortly after that the rest of them get full sun but the treeline gives alot of filtered sunlight aswell and that thats good up to 4-5pm and even though one of the plants is thick with stems and leaves from supercropping like you would see under 18 hours of light and they veg leafy I do think these plants are growing slowly and that might be because they were 297 days old and stressed when I brought them out but I think these do grow faster indoors under 18 hours of light so it might benefit veg speed if there under more hours of sunlight. Alot of gardens are able to get uninterrupted sunlight throughout the day and I think that is better but it does require more water. They do end up needing alot of pruning under these conditions and thats something that larger gardens may struggle to do because pruning is alot of work and it requires more than just removing small lower branches as it usually needs to be pruned to stick size branching and no small stems and at that point there is budsite pruning that could of been done so there isn't any small buds along the branching but that requires alot of patience and Im not encouraging that amount pruning. Indoors 30 days of veg is a long time, 60 days is a huge plant so 84 days of veg is 1512 hours of indoor lights vs 430 hours of full sun creating a massive plant, though the plant doesn't seem to react negatively to less than 6 hours of sun, when it it gets cold in September that isn't really a good time to flower this strain into cold October, its interesting to see it flower but I think its mostly a light dep strain if your trying to maximize yield. At 5:45pm to 5:56pm im receiving filtered sunlight that is covering not the entire plant and thats reading at 30-120 μmol/s/m2 or you can say PPFD or known as photosynthetic photon flux density and that means I get shade during the middle of the heat during the day so there definitely not receiving the full intensity of the sun for the entire day. Ive got 4 major trees that absolutely shade during the heat of the day as the sun moves and another one that does so later in the day and in September the position of the Sun isn't as good as June, July and August. It certainly means the lighting industry has the monopoly on gardening for sure.
