ok here's another one.

2 clones, same mother

one went into the ground in the early spring. one went into a pot about 3 weeks later. same mother. same batch of cuttings. started inside under floro tubes. cut at the same time off the same mother.



this is the one in the pot. it has been flower for 3 weeks. nice top colas forming. good crystals. some density.






now this is the one in the ground. it is directly behind the one in the pot. the one in the pot is shorter so they both receive the same sunlight. the one in the ground just started to flower a couple days ago. it is 2 weeks behind the one in the pot.







so why? why does this happen? why is one plant at least 2 weeks ahead of the other when they are the same plant? how can this be explained? everything was done exactly the same other than one being in a pot and the other being in the ground. so how come they are so far apart as far as flowering?

Perhaps the one in the pot is better soil as compared to the ground or some shit.....I dunno really.....at least it's not dead

id have a guess that the pot has a better rootball then the plant in the ground so takes up feed better = 2weeks ahead of the ground

As you couldnt feed every root thats in the ground with water/nutes

Thats's a good assumption.

good assumption but i'm not buying it.


more info. the soil was the same mix. i dug a very large hole and replaced the native soil with the same mix that is in the pots. though yes, the one in the ground will spread out more. but to affect flowering? i don't know.

Have to say, all things being equal with the exception of pot vs ground I have to agree with BB. Developing roots take a tremendous amount of energy, and until they fill up the hole the growth will probably slow significantly. If you really want to check this, repeat your experiment. I think it will turn out the same way. They look great anyway you grow them tho'. GL HH

im guessing the one in the pot has alot more Nutrient build up then as the one in the soil where nutrients can flow all the way to the center of the planet. Thus having more P which induce better/faster flowering.

could it be that the one in the ground somehow was stressed in some way the one in the pot wasn't?just a guess..

i dont know the answer to this .... all i gotta say is fuck me sideways .... in the second pic ... itlooks like a field of reefer plants ..... thats like ... a fuckin day dream in my head
