Organic Outdoor grow In soil. 1st time grow.
I knowticed this plant has three branches per node not two like my others. Will this increase my overall yeild? If so can i breed this plants unique features into some seeds for next year?
also- 2nd and 4th pic is of browning spots on a couple of leaves. is this possiable overwatering or pests? Any advice?
Newbee in norcal-
it might be pest i am not a big out door grower
but it is not over watering they look good tho
For believers, I think it may be very well assumed that all cannabis is a gift from God! ;)
Yours is neat in that it displays whorled phyllotaxy. This basically means more than 2 branches or petioles coming off any given node on the plant. It's one of the more common mutations seen in cannabis, since it is not detrimental to the health of the plant in any way and may be passed on to offspring. Many mutations result in totally non-viable seeds or sickly plants; this is most certainly NOT one of them.
Here's some notes on that one:
-Your plant will grow out of it at sexual maturity, when the nodes switch to 'alternating' placement.
-If you would like to reap the greatest benefit from that form, which is more vigorous main tops, the trick is to pinch the growing tip BEFORE sexual maturity, so that you get 3 major replacement main tips instead of 2. Note that you may do the same thing, or at least have the same effect, from the FIM technique.
Your yield depends very much on conditions, especially light intensity, overall plant health, and how well established the root system is. Claims of 150% yields over non-whorled plants are goofy, at best. There was a guy selling those things on like youtube or something for $10,000 per pack of seeds and making claims of increased production potential. Haha.
Anyway it's wicked cool, thanks for sharing the pic.
Oh- bugs- yeah you have bugs. Yeah it happens outside. Your plant looks outstanding and the damage is minimal. If you see any, pick them off. Don't sweat it- those marks are not from one of the pest genera that is a big threat to plant health.
"whorled phyllotaxy"
Is this a planet full of yellow cars made from dough? :stoned:
