more on this topic and differences between in and outdoor plants
if you consider the natural shape of MJ, it bears a resemblance to a Christmas tree. this shape allows water to be constantly carried out and away. When it rains, the hydrophobic leaves ferry the droplets ensuring minimal water accumulates close to the stem. So simply this means do not ever water directly up to or on the stem or at the base of the stem. I usually water my plants based on the canopy drip line. But minimum of 1ft away from the plant stem base.Thanks buddy!
I have a question for anyone who knows this though, does this mean I should minimally water near the plants and water regularly further away?

seedlings - so before i plant, i wet the material, which is typically leaf mold/ loam, with some rice hulls. I plant in to pre watered media, then I usually start seeds in modular 4in root plugs, using a wick matt to help keep the plant searching for water and developing its roots. When i pot them up, again in pre watered media, I always water little and often at the edges of the leaf tips, or using a drip tray.Thanks man, I'm just wondering does this apply to seedlings as Well? I just don't want to dehydrate her lol.
Huh? So what happen to apical dominance and auxin? And regulating sugars and hormones, not to mention different plants around the world, rainy or dry.if you consider the natural shape of MJ, it bears a resemblance to a Christmas tree. this shape allows water to be constantly carried out and away.

the other thing you can do is use old cola bottles etc, to make a humidifying replicate cover plant, which wont attract bugs of course, but is cheap as hell and can be used to create humid areas next to our plants to relive water stress.
If you cut the top from a 2L bottle, dig a hole in the soil next to your plant, say 1ft or at the edges of the canopy. Put the 2L cut base in the hole and fill with water, now cut the bottom from a 5L bottle, keep the lid on it. Place this over the top of the other, securing it with tent pegs or stones, this just so it doesnt blow away. As the sun rises, the bigger bottle begins to form water droplets, these run down the side and soak in to the soil, making the area around it damp. It lasts quite a few days, weeks even depending on conditions, but just top the water up to keep it working as needed. its a cool very cheap way to mimic cover crops :)

I'm not saying I'm right, I'm asking what about these things?
No worries bro,I'm probably wrong but I believe he was just referring to marijuana plants
The different plants around the world was referring to cannabis that grows in different regions. Like landracesI'm probably wrong but I believe he was just referring to marijuana plants

No worries bro,
Apical dominance is the reason it grows Iike a Christmas tree shape. Auxin is a hormone the plant produces, its in the stems and tips it controls growth between branches you could say. Apical like the tip of a branch, dominance like it is the leader.. guess you can say.
So the highest branch is apical dominance, as long as auxin is greater than cytokinin. If you bend that branch lower than other branches you break apical dominance. That is how scrog works.
More auxin than cytokinin branches grow more cytokinin than auxin roots grow.
Auxin will regulate sugars on lower branches to help keep control of apical dominance.
Read about plants not cannabis.Thanks man! I'll be reading more when I get home lol
yes it works everywhere, in door or out, great if you need to go away fro a few days :-)I have 2 questions actually... this should work indoor with my lec right?
Also couldn't I do 3-4 smaller ones throughout my pot?
this neat little clip shows why cutting at the base and not removing the roots, why no till farming helps tomorrows crops
