Im doing this with my tomatoes and pepper plants as we speak. People are like why would you do that?! I try to explain the fruits are always better but still get people shaking there head lol.
Simple vegetable tip for huge plants
No matter the plant just keep pulling off the flowers until they get huge. I know some people don't do it because they feel that is picking off potential yield but i always get higher yields by doing this. It lets the plant focus on vegetation in the early stages so it can pump them out like an Asian sweatshop the rest of the season. I did this for cucumbers one year and when i let it go i was getting 2 huge cumbers per plant every day. It was crazy you can see the flowers get pollinated and the next day there would be a foot long cucumber.
Tomatoes, peppers, & cucumbers have very good results

Oh I see I'm going to definitely try this out thanks for the tip
If u want to compare it to weed, it's like keeping it on 18/6 for an extra monthOriginally Posted by likethegood
I assume that everybody treats people like they like to be treated. So don't be mad at me because you treat people like an asshole.
So this would probably work for strawberries? I've got small plants already flowering a little, so doing this would promote more rapid vegetative growth without hurting yield?
Gonna try this with my chamomile as soon as i start seeing buds
So not exactly "any plant" Surly you wouldnt do this with cannabisCool idea, I maaaaaaaaaayy try it. Pics??? btw a foot long cucumber growing in one day pretty is hard to believe lol
Now, I do know some veggies you pick early and often to keep production high. The mission in the plants life is to make seeds, so beans for example keep picking them when they are young before pods fill out and the plant will keep growing and producing. AA bean plant left to fully develop seeds will not produce nearly as many pods... And just like sensie MJ the longer she grows without getting pollenated to produce seed her buds will get bigger.. Seeded buds in my exp tend to be smaller.
PS: I get the idea, but have never tried it.

im really not lying but i guess it was 2 days. The first day is when you see the little cucumber like the size of a thumb and then the next day it blows up like a balloon. I was handing them out like tick tacksSo not exactly "any plant" Surly you wouldnt do this with cannabis
