Day 18 Update - Do growers over veg through excessive training resulting is an abundance of leaf mass? With an average DLI of 48-64 do we achieve enough PPFD at lower wattages with the aforementioned question?
Wattage being 20-50w per square foot - is the concept of Vegetative growth and to a greater extent the lesser known term of Crop Steering the blind side of cannabis cultivation?
Defoliation being proven to reduce yield but also the observed effect of extra Vegetative growth occurring in response yet being interpreted as beneficial to yield. Followed by other methods like Schwazzing that entail removing the very organs which accumulate photon energy and are vital to photosynthesis.
Knowing that lumens are for humans and photons for plants, how long will indoor growers continue to accumulate and persist with the false ideas that contribute to improper steering for the sake of yield.
In a constantly evolving field where THC levels are irrelevant, proven, yet yield is prioritzed over the health and quality of the canna plant - are we as growers in supportive communities shortchanging ourselves for the sake of leafless, crispy burnt plants whose genetic potential we have forsaken for false practices and mind sets that do not benefit novice or veteran cultivators?
