How to Improve Quality and Yield with Crop Steering

In this clip from We The Growers E.24, Marcus Baldinger with Growlink Controllers breaks down what 'Crop Steering' is.
Crop Steering is an advanced cultivation strategy where the grower manipulates the plants environment in order to trigger different types of growth. Irrigation, temperature, humidity, and light are all different ways that you can 'steer' your plants to a desired result.
When Crop Steering, there are two different types of growth that you can trigger in the plant: Vegetative Growth and Generative Growth. The main difference between these two types of growth is the amount of stress that the plant is being exposed to. Intoducing stress to the plant may sound counter-intuitive but as Marcus explains in this video, exposing your plants to stress at the right time can trigger them to do certain things. For example, steering the plant Generatively at the right time will help stack more budsites along the branches, while steering the plant Vegetively at the right time will help bulk up those budsites.
Timing is everything. If you want to learn more about Crop Steering and when we suggest triggering these different types of growth, check out The Athena Handbook by visiting www.athenaag.com/

Great stuff guys. Thanks

In my garden, maintaining the DLI from veg into flower is the number one crop steering technique that limits stretching and tightens nodal spacing. Similar to seedling stretch!
Increasing ppfd 20% per day for the first five days at flip, is an effective light intensity buffering strategy. DLI and VPD modulation during transitions, done "thoughtfully" will improve yield and quality, imho.

So I ran the same strain fully Jen and then fully veg you get better quality and harder buds when you run generative butt you drastically lose out on yield so it's really going to depend on the strain your running sometimes hand-watering once in the morning in a Big 5 gallon pot which is generative steering gives you the best quality

Amazing video

[@BatmanBoss]

Thanks buddy

[@SaigonJon]

During generative stage do u allow medium to dry back when lights are on some or keep at field capacity and only a long dryback at night?

[@eliseoperez4523]

So we’re pretty much gaslighting plants ?? Got it

Crop steering is spending tons of money to make everything perfect and then guessing at a bunch of stuff to make sure you have bag appeal.

1000 words told with nothing? what is the topic of conversation? 0 specific information, what is this whole conversation about?😂😂😂

[@branjosnow6244]

Introducing negative environments to trigger a survival response, of producing this hormone that decides how much flower the plant will need, if it's life span is uncertain.
To try and beef it up early, I guess.

W humans thanks for the video

Can you say BULLSHIT.
