I have grown several crops in the past years since graduation, and I have developed a method that seems to produce more bud weight than traditional method. Every year I manage at least 150lbs, sometimes 200, each bud nice and large, completely organic growing that sets for a very smooth smoke. As for quality? high-mids. No idea of the name, but the strain is resilient (like any marijuana) and is mainly sativa. Gives you an idea of just how many plants I have growing.

I grow outdoors mainly due to my unlimited access to dense thickets in private property where no deer hunters go, and even I, who tracked a buck through about a hundred yards of briars before giving up, despise going into the area. Anyhow, my method is simple, and for the grower who has a situation set up like this, you may want to try it.

Before your seedlings are strong, buy lots of rustless, semi-stiff wire. You can find it fairly cheap at hardware stores, but there are alternatives. I fold up lots of wire into metal "U's" (2 inches wide, 6-8 inches tall) and go out to my crop (one huge, 200+ yard strip along an old fencerow) as soon as the stalks are strong. I bring camo and binoculars as well as a small bird book for cover and some roughing-it supplies.

Anyhow, I gently bend each plant down and pin it to the ground. Two weeks later, I come back and re-pin. I repeat this process every couple of weeks, trying to gently position each node near another so that the plant grows upward more to attain more nodes to be pinned. This forces them to grow all over the ground,, like a cover vine. The result? A foot-tall bud forest that is on an average of around 5 feet wide and 600 feet long. I don't mess with males as natural is natural, and I tend to let nature take its course with only that small intervention. Seeds never hurt anyone, and it's extra money each year.

Growing straight-up looks very obvious from a distance, and no one pays too much attention to low stuff anyhow, plus it's in a briar thicket on an old, unused fencerow that determines no current boundaries.

I didn't know what section to put this in, as it isn't that much of an advanced technique, just a basic tip and an idea.

I like these forums. Very informational.

I plan on coming here for any future problems I may have, or discoveries I may make.

Until then.
