Whenever there is a debate about what's better for the plant when it comes to Yield&Quality increasing techniques there is a very hot saying that I keep on hearing more and more often lately:
"NATURE KNOWS BEST"
Now while I do not doubt that saying as a self-contained saying for a second I still keep on asking whether that is a correct saying when it comes to the yield and quality case.
Now lets elaborate a little here:
First of we need to think about what nature is really up to.
In my personal and humble opinion a Ganja seed that has sprouted from soil in the wilds has One and only One main objective: Survival.
Throughout it's whole life the plant will grow its powerful roots to feed, lengthen its stem and produce more and more leaves to get that light and eventually pollinate or get pollinated to produce it's breed(which is also an action of survival as the matter of fact).
Now when it comes to men cultivating that same plant there is a one core difference between the objectives. Men want RESULTS.
Nature does not want results. The plant is programmed so that it grows optimally. Nature is never results oriented. Nature is optimum oriented.
Just think about sensimilla for instance. There is rarely if ever any sensimilla in nature. Male and female seeds in nature have 50-50 ratio chance.
Also you can rarely see nights outside that have 100% darkness followed by.
There are also no timeswitchers for sun to make a strict 12-12 cycle.
Now I am not here to say that men need to do everything in their own way when it comes to cultivating.
There is a great mechanism that nature has provided us with which works very well. We just need to find those little windows of opportunities that help us to improve that what we desire be it Yield, High, taste, or whatever that is we're looking for.
The plant has been cultivated for over 10000 years so far, so correct me if I'm wrong by saying that it should have adopted to over hundrends if not thousands different treatments to extract very different benefits throughout that whole time.
With great respect to Cannabis Botany and Advanced Growing Science forum from which I have already learned something and Hopefully will learn much more.
