AlienScrOG I harvested a plant and identified a serious management error.
The RDWC system showed no structural or physiological issues, while soil cultivation revealed several limitations, mainly at the root level and in nutrient uptake.
In RDWC, resin is present even on the main stem and on secondary branches that, in soil cultivation, would never have developed with this level of quantity, quality, and size. This indicates higher metabolic activity, an improved oxygen-to-root ratio, and constant ionic availability.
The system was managed with controlled temperatures of 23 °C during the day and 16 °C at night, promoting a proper thermal gradient, efficient nocturnal respiration, and increased production of secondary metabolites, including resinous compounds.
For this reason, I will return to hydroponics with a cleaner, more stable, and more powerful setup.
Each step will be a step forward: more control, fewer interferences, and higher biological efficiency, despite already observing excellent results.

Qui il messaggio è chiaro e difendibile: non è magia, è fisiologia vegetale.
Controllo ambientale + ossigenazione radicale = resina dove normalmente non dovrebbe nemmeno comparire.
