I agree that genetics play a large role. But it’s a culmination of things.
The best genetics are worthless to a grower that drowns their seedlings. Or has ignorance and stunts with miracle grow (while some do just fine in it). Or tries growing by window light vs 5000 nuclear watts in a 3x3.
Growing good cannabis is a balancing act of providing plants what they need, when they need it. Many considerations in assessing success or failure.
All very helpful, thanks for responding! Definitely If I was growing indoors with a controlled environment I would expect best results. Since I am growing Outdoors in a backyard of a townhouse I am stuck with the humidity and short amount of Direct sunlight. So I have been able to rule a lot of things out. Next season I will try Photos 4sure to see any difference. Since posting three of my new plants gelato, wedding cake, zittles (All Autos) have been transplanted into bigger pots. So if a noticeable difference, I will continue to increase Pot size on new plants. Also I do like Ocean forest but may try others.
Hi - I live in San Diego close to ocean where the humidity is always high. I just started some auto flower seedlings and I need to grow them outside this summer due to space. But my landlord could pop by any time so Im trying to use the smallest pots possible in case I have to move them.
Two questions: What is the smallest pots I can use and still get good size plants? (I don’t mind if I have to water the plants every day - I’m concerned with root-bound). And, is the high humidity going to really screw things up? When indoors I run one or two dehumidifiers 24/7! Thanks for any help!!
Welcome to the forum.
If you’re doing autos and don’t mind watering daily I would suggest 3 gallon pots and coco. That’s your best chance in my opinion
They’re all planted in 3 gallon pots and doing well, thanks to you Underthestairs! I‘ve put them under one of my LEDs - figure I’ll do that for a couple weeks (to get them strong) and then put them outside.
Does that sound like a good plan or what do y’all think? Thanks!
Yep and long as you got a fan on them, or they can get pretty big and still be flimsy and soft when babied indoors. But u know that I just wanted to say dont forget the wind
Sorry, missed this first time.
Welcome to the community.
I dont remember SD having bad humidity issues. Summer Santa ann winds over the mountains normally kept humidity pushed out and down.
I’m 2 blocks from the ocean. I monitor humidity both online and with an instrument. It averages about 80% even in the summer. That’s only thing that sucks because there’s plenty of sunshine!
