Relax brother. All opinions are welcomed. I probably will **** it up but that is completely fine! Eventually, I’ll have it mastered or realize it doesn’t fit into my methods. As a new grower, I’m just trying to root my seeds and play with them as they grow. Finding my way

Mine go 9 days before each watering in the flowering stage unless I get sick then it’s possibly 11-14 days and that was a bit hard to bring em back I know that some home growers allow their grow rooms and spaces to get pretty hot like 90°F to 101°F like every other week during flower to also produce drought stress and heat stress to trigger an attack on the plant also to produce more trichomes

1000s of methods produce great smoke. We champion all grows, but we wish everyone dankness, no matter how they achieve it.
Thats what sperates this canna family forum from others.
We have great growers who grow great bud from solo cups, is it the best way? We dont care, hope he grows some sweet bud.
Was that the Bud of the Year passing tips? Note to self, might try this on a plant or two.

Did you ever start this process? Just curious how it is going?

I watered to drought my whole last grow. Start to finish. Got some big plants. Half the time because I was scared to overwater. Now I understand it but would prob do it again if I stop the autopots. Also I think cx makes an additive which sticks to the roots and tricks it thinking it’s dry? Something like that. Don’t quote me. Manny from autopots mentioned it one day. Just a fyi

Beginning of week 4 in flower now. I will be starting to introduce water stress on 2/3 plants to see if it makes a difference. Or should I do 1/3? They’re now 3 days without water and I plan on going at least 10 days but it seems like by adding the 600w boost HPS light next to the ts1000 led 150w the pots are drying much quicker because of the heat of the hps? I try to keep it below 88 degrees Fahrenheit but sometimes I forget to crack the door to let the cold air of the room cycle throughout the closet and it’ll get above 93 but the girls haven’t seemed to mind… @DoneDeal

What’s a water stress
Supposedly by letting the pots go to drought before watering it will increase the flowers POTENCY but not the yield. I have never done it, I’ve always watered my plants when the pots felt light but still had moisture.
Also, as another grower stated they water to drought the whole grow. Which I could see possibly increasing the plants size and yield if done right during the vegetative stage. Due to the roots stretching to find moisture? I’m not sure, I’m still a new grower myself

This would be the preferred method for routine feeding and watering using soil. Drench to drought

Definitely noticing a ton of increased production. Not sure if that’s because I’m in week 5 or what but definitely noticeable since I’ve started watering 1x every 9 days
Dam 9 days that’s crazy! Share some pics if you get a chance!!
Will do! Give me like 10 minutes. (Mind you these are only under 150 true watts of power) The mars Hydro TS1000.
But the trichrome production has increased a lot. Size as well. And 9 days or 8. Can’t remember 100% but it was more than a week for sure.
This is the main cola of the plant that did not get water stressed
All plants are the same strain, under the same light and have got the same care until recently introducing the water stress to 2 of 3.

IMHO the biggest impediment to the growth of awesome cannabis is the human standing outside the tent…proven time and time and time again…in this forum and many others.
Sadly, there is no magic sauce or technique one can employ to make the plant do anything suddenly “spectacular”. Water stress will likely lead you down the road of hermies…like almost all other stressors do: heat, light inconsistencies, too little or too much nutes, etc.
I’d recommend focusing on mastering the basic process of giving the plant exactly what she needs when she needs it (a heck of a lot harder to do than you might think). If you can nail that, you’ll have the best weed you’ve ever smoked/eaten.
That’s the key to incredible weed…no tricks, no gimmicks.
