Pimpin, you tend to run a lot more sativa heavy strains than most.

When I build my rooms, I like to be able to adjust temperatures. I try to shoot for lights on temps to be controllable down to 70F if not lower... Higher temps are easier to achieve

We must take into consideration that many of the drug cannabis strains are from mountainous regions (lower temps and higher UV exposure in most cases)

Although most cannabis has been "bred" for indoor environments, some of the sport phenotypes will show ancestral traits. Many do not realize "dialing in" a strain is done by producing the environment that strain would have acclimated to. This includes: soil composition (nutes AND density etc), RH levels AND temperature

:joint:


ehhh, yes and no - seed ibl maybe, but most things are so hybridized i dont think we can say "dialing in a strain is done by producing acclimated environment" because i've seen strains taken to different environments, grown out over the years and acclimated to the environment....still "dialed?" in, and what's DIALED? is it dialing in your room for outstanding climate, is it dialed when your strain is kicking 1g/watt, or is your strain dialed just because it expressed ancestral traits...IMHO its the top two...the latter ive seen done with strains that weren't at all fed in the way they've needed...besides most landrace strains dont get the nutrients they need(ed), thats why they became way more popular once our good brothers & sisters took the seeds and cultivated em elswehere.....the reason these strains were special is because they were still dank in the factors, variables they faced....i have always found way better growth in higher temps, not too high but right around 79-82, and night time at around 60-68; for every strain, i think about the outdoor climate in summer time in high production places (i.e. northern california), it might be lower temps in mountainous regions with higher UV , but if you've ever spent time in those places with the higher UV its actually a lot warmer....especially if you were to measure the temperature of the leaf....and on the reverse ive seen cannabis growth go silly in a greenhouse where temps are over 85degrees with plenty of airflow and UV-B is filtered with the plastic covering, why is cannabis so outstanding grown in hawaii????

I guess it depends on what you grow for - lots of green plant material - or lots of resin.

Dialed to me = the most resin production possible given the genetics you are working with.

After all - cannabis is the messenger - resin is the message.

You smoke as much yield as you want - but if I harvest 1 ounce vs your 30 ounces - and I have a higher content of cannabinoids in that single ounce - you can keep your bulkers 'mersh to yourself...

Growing MEDICINE...is about cannabinoids and terpenes - NOT weight on a scale.

You wanna talk about dialed - well, make me pass out from a bong rip - and then I'll pat you on the back and say well done...when my eyes open that is.

Otherwise, all you are talking is subjectivity and OPINION as to what matters to the individual goals of a grower.

Personally, I say f.u.c.k. all that - get me "there" in as few hits as possible - and then I'll talk and listen to what you have to say about what you do and why - otherwise...you are just another dude growing some flowers.

Not to be snide or anything else - but somethings are NOT as subjective as people want to make them seem. It either is or isn't top tier. Period.

Aside from that phenotype = genotype + environment. This is scientific FACT. Environment is a variable that must be considered if you ever hope to maximize a plants potential. The BEST pheno - ALWAYS comes from an environment that has been "dialed" allowing a plant to reach it's maximum potential.

The ONLY argument you could EVER make against this - is that natural sunlight vs indoor lighting allows for a fuller more broad spectrum of cannabinoids to be developed and therefore is capable of actually being better than the very best controlled indoor specimen. Otherwise - if your environment isn't CONSISTENT, with MINIMAL fluctuation - your final product WILL suffer. There is no room to debate that - it is simple fact.

FAM keeps holding it down!!! Big respect.

Finally got a new PC, time for some pics. This scrog day 70-71, flushed for about 9-10 days. Whole scrog - FBPK front right, CB x DB Bx1 back right. Doc's OG back left, WiFi front left.

exactly!!! :thank you: i hope my point wasnt taken overboard, i was just merely saying that term "dialing in" is a subjective term, and what matters to you may not matter to me....in this case, it most certainly does lol :)
