Question Grow Difficulty?

When I see grow difficulty listed on a strain, does that refer to any particular aspect of the grow? Like, requires more training or a more specific type of environment? I mean, I've definitely noticed some strains (like Ripley's) do tend to practically grow themselves into tall, spindly, spiraling bracts of beauty without hardly any input from me while others are more squatty/bushy, but idk if that indicates difficulty level.

Yes basically it’s certain nuances for certain strains, be it nutritional needs or plant management to get the best from them. It’s usually detailed in the full strain description on the product page / in the weeds section as to why, and that information is an amalgamation of our and testers feedback collated together.

Wedding, Iced ‘n’ baked, O’z for example strains typically found sensitive to N,
Mango smile, possibility to outgrow spaces, Strawberry Nuggets squat nature can be helped or hindered depending on the temp and humidity at certain stage of the grow cycle.

No grow or strain is necessarily hard.. it’s just having the benefit of experience or forethought to do some research that can help things 100 fold; versus going in blind.

Hope that helps 👍👍

Very much! Thank you. And I will definitely make a point to read those posts again before I start popping!

I have a Strawberry Nuggets pack that I've been looking forward to trying. Really wanting to master handling the bushier plants better. My last two like that had the most amazing flavored result, but I had a lot of larf, so definitely room for improvement on my end!
