Should have some more to contribute soon, moving and the 1st and can finally flower some bitches out again. Hate having nothing to show, what can you do. I live vicariously through you dudes for now, thanks for the fix. Respect
Lol, I hear you.
One of my more recent plant runs was not during a move per se, but life got in the way, important people were in the hospital, I had to move the setup etc. In a rush to get a watering done, I dropped a plant once. Temps got too high one day & one plant stretched too far. Things weren't good
A lot of times it's mentioned how resilient these plants are. If you are equating resiliency with being hard to kill, there are millions of plants like that, this is absolutely nothing unique. Resiliency means being able to return to original shape after shock or capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation or rupture. Quantifiably, I think that they are less resilient than most consumption plants.
A lot of times it's used just to talk someone off the ledge, after they have screwed something up & are worried. I get that. In 5 minutes I'll probably forget all about it & say it myself. It's just a misnomer. But I feel like talking about it. & Tnelz said I can talk about whatever lol.
But, really, when/if you blow it, that can be it. That's the opposite of resilience. If you miss a day & let it get real hot in there, I've seen plants leave the tent smelling like absolutely nothing, fully matured. But during veg, they were pretty stinky. A day of what it considers extreme heat & you can bleach the smell right out of them. Stress them too much in any way,
they decide they want a sex change! That is also the opposite of resilient (returning to original form...get it? lol) Then they try to convince all your other plants to have a sex orgy lol (I'm so high right now, in case you haven't noticed, no pain, no seizures)
You can downright abuse
a ton of vegetable plants, in ways you couldn't cannabis, & your tomatoes - for instance, will only be marginally affected. Probably not even noticeable. I grow lots of tomatoes. Same plants every year (several diff varieties) Every year, they are delicious. No noticeable difference from any other year, with little effort in comparison to cannabis.
We'll say a cannabis plant is resilient, but actually, when you mess it up, it can have a significant, lasting, impact. Like I said, the tomato will still be damn good. Provided the same amount of abuse...the meds, could be quantifiably terrible.
You know that saying that sex is like pizza? Just like pizza, when sex is good, it's really good. But even when it's bad...it's still pretty good? That doesn't apply to bud, in my opinion.
You can grow some
terrible cannabis, much easier than you could grow terrible tomatoes.
You can grow amazing cannabis, but you have to have almost every detail locked. The margin of error, to grow amazing cannabis, is pretty small.
I think the mistake being made with "resiliency" is that we aren't talking about the end product. Which, you can screw up, in a number of ways & combinations that will have a devastating impact on the final product. It's not a resilient plant at all.
Will it bounce back from near death? Most plants will.
Will the end product be as good if you abused it like I do my tomato plants? Highly unlikely. And whatever you did to screw it up, will that aspect of the plant "bounce back" to what it would have been if you hadn't? From what I've noticed, a lot of times...no.
Relatively, it's a very hard plant to grow well, at least for the purposes we seek.
