4 months agoAsk a Grow Question 4 months agoThis question falls under the seed vs. clone discussion.
This is the first time I’m growing clones outdoors. A couple in 10G containers and a couple directly in the ground. I’ve grown seed plants in the ground before, and they were huge! 14Ft tall! I dont want to say this but they were too large. This year the cloned plants are growing…

Genetics determines vigor, size and structure. Every plant is an individual. Seedlings can keep a more symmetrical structure for longer but that has little bearing on vigor and overall size.

So youre suggesting its the genetics and not seed plant versus cloned plant? thanknyou for yoyuyr thoughts

In an outdoors setting, the tap root from the seed could be very beneficial and definitely impact the growth “potential” of the plant.
You’ll never exceed the genetics… But a tap root seed outside in dryish conditions would reasonable be larger than it’s cloned counterpart.
If you’re managing nutes and watering outside… I wouldn’t expect…

Triploid? another interesting thought.
Freaky stuff happens in nature. They are curious looking seeds. I’ll have to pop em and find out what happens.

I definitely will !! I’ll try to remember to post an update when I do.

thanks for your thoughts! the strength of the pollen never occurred to me. the grow was with low wattage lighting in a 1.5’X3′ tent and the lung room temp was also fairly low. so the plants may not of had the full vigor of their potential.
(I’ve popped a few of the normal looking seeds from the batch and they are growing well.)

Anyone experience this, when growing your own seeds? 5 seeds out of the entire seed harvest.
What do you think?
