It all depends on the strain.

Yeah. I think i'll plant 2 of 'em in the ground in may, maybe three. leave the rest in their pots on resting on the dirt in the canna plot. then the males in the pots can be removed elsewhere, and hope fully one of the dirt ones will be female.

Growing from seed has the distinct advantage of having a taproot, which is not found in clones. That central taproot is what gives ya tall plants so i prefer it not it curled around from a pot. sooner in the ground the better methinks.

Also to see what is the best size pot for this, i'm growing 3 in four gallons pots and 3 in one gallon pots. yanno science.

Boring germing pics.

Cannabis sprouts. I fudge a little by putting three seeds to a pot to ensure a well rooted plant in each of the six pots. Will weed the extra out shortly.

I always tell people to plant 'em into the ground, but people are dense and won't take direction. Once they do, they never go back to containers. Even raised beds are sub-optimal, it limits root volume, increases water requirements, and allows soil temps to fluctuate outside of optimal range. They evolved to grow in the ground, and that's still where they'll be the happiest.

Yeah haysus, you got me thinking maybe I'll cheat some more and plant six more seeds directly in the ground. I got seeds to waste so if they don't catch up with the ones in the pots, no big deal.


Happy 420 and the plants on the balcony, still some frosty mournings, so too early for the garden.

Ya can see there not growing fast at all. A couple a little twisted, all stretched. Though healthy enough I suppose.

Man I already miss growing under flouros, so much faster growth rate.

My Friend. I had same problem. I quit growing them outside. The seeds I'm getting don't like the hot sun raying down on them is my guessin'

I'm talking the kushes I've had bad luck with outside and 1 year even in greenhouse

limited success and had to revert in emergency to grow some of my acclimated Chemo Big Boy

to ensure a continued supply of medicine.

Kushes don't like hot roots.

And in late flowering they don't like any high temps.

Is my experience so fur.

BTW I'm still experiencing.

Just to be clear. Safest to start and grow a while inside such crybabies.

Is it worth it to grow crybabbys?

Yes

Those things have plenty of time left to become ten footers. If you want them to, they probably will.

Seedling taproot porn.

Canna sprouts, notice the taproots on the canna were tender and broke so half the root is missing in the pic.

maybe i ought to put my teacher's hat on. Start a botany 101 thread. lecture about difference between a monocots (Monocotyledons) and dicots, why grasses (monocots) don't have taproots.

Or is that too trite to attract masses here eh prawn?
