ruderalis...I think I spelled that right.

Sativa do not respond as quickly to flowering photoperiod, and ruderalis is what was used to breed lowryders by crossing ruderalis with sativ' and indica'...

Why would you think that a auto-flowering "ditchweed" (ruderalis) would be the same as the long vegging, slow flowering of a sativ'?

that is the problem around here sometimes...people start seeds before they have read the proper amount of grow info.

This is why I am not a big fan of copy/pasting long articles from books to the forums. In my experience most don't read them, finding them too overwhelming. New growers need to read up on cultivation, but about 90% do not, and that is why we have the forum. Sorry aobut the rant, but I can't believe some of the un-educated guesses that members post, when they don't know.

Zandor taught me something early on...If you look at a post and the members are on the right track...let it go. NO need to post. If members have got it right, but have 2-3 other "sketchy" answers, then clarify the correct posting. Then htere are the cases of all the newbs gathering and spreding 1/2 truths aobut growing, and that is when we MOds stick our big NOse in.

Read up on your favorite plant if you plan on continuing to grow it. KNow what you are doing...It will save you and everyone invlolved in teaching you alot of time and misunderstanding. Have a great day LW
