lol The unicorn's.. I like it!

It is so true too...

Most hydro I see locally is grown to 85-90% of genetic potential, now with soil, maybe 65-75% of potential... it takes work with soil, no doubt.

just wanted to point out a little symantics(sp) here .. help maybe shift your view from quality being an un-quantitative thing... yeild data sure, what makes quality wheat from cheaper wheat? protien YEILD. poor canola from great canola. oil yield.. what defines quality cannabis?? vegative yeild is only part of it your right buut yield of cannabinoids and terpenes surely is 99% of what makes a quality flower as far as growing 99% of everything else is processing soo can have wonderful huge yeild of fragrant rice but is processed bad and has mold sticks husks dust pesticides heavy metals but would be still poor quality when selling on the market. aaanyway bit off topic... carry on. just wanted to point out there is ALOT to be said about quantifying quality in ag. ...dyslexic speed reader lol..

Good point, clearheaded. I yield an awful lot more oil than plant matter, lol.

Your observation about water is more than likely due to an irrigation calculation factor called roughness. Basically the bigger the leaf and leaf density, the more "roughness", meaning more evaporation from the leaf due to its' size, width, etc, thus the observation you have made, the plant wants more water. The sativa will take longer to dry out as a result.

And I also agree with you completely about the mathematical formula for each variety, not just a grow! In large crops like mandarin oranges, an Okitsu has a very different feeding requirement than an Owari. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Cannabis is the same of that I am sure.

Excellent!

thanks! it could be roughness, or maybe something in the humidity levels, or maybe something in the seed lineage.. i only have experience with one or two real sativas (sams thai haze) but im pretty sure your spot on with N and sativas since they branch like crazy
