Thanks for that - makes sense somewhat. What kind of fruit crops?Butcher Bob wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 1:48 pmAs for flowers, or extra branch growth, at nodes...this is normal plant behavior. Anyone that has done lollypopping is quite familiar with the constant need to strip this growth during flower, just as the quote you've posted indicates. This is not limited to cannabis, most plants exhibit it as sucker growth...and yes, it steals resources from the rest of the plant. Many fruit crops need to have this type of growth cut off so that it will not adversely affect yields. And unfortunately, once you start stripping it off, it will continue if the wound is not sealed. Wounded spots on plants, like when we do scarification to promote rooting when cloning, signals the plant to start producing generic cells at the site...which can then easily be converted into flower or stem cells. Remember, the plant is just trying to survive and procreate...it does not give a shit aboot the bag appeal you are trying to achieve.
Recently I've been looking at avocados a bit ~
Also another thing about the wounds and seeing them in flower after lollipopping..
Possibly could be from that. These plants in the pictures here are just growing... No wounds yet.
Just a preference but, I prefer the plants without them - just Calyx or Sacks..
But will keep in mind it's more common than I've seen personally...
No bag appeal for me. Although sometimes it goes hand in hand.
I'm all about the stone.. And not just heavy eyelids
