Because I’m fairly lifted on some high quality homegrown right now, I wanted to expound on this and see how many people feel similarly. If I’m an outlier, that would be interesting to know also.
For the most part, my decision making process for what to grow next goes a little like this:
- Think about what I want to grow next. Most often that will be what I’m running lowest on, be it a heavy indica for nighttime pain relief or a soaring sativa to go with my morning coffee.
- Pick some seeds or clones that satisfy the broad category from step 1.
- Grow them.
- Lather, rinse, repeat.
I really like that the plants that I’m growing now fit the sativa category with shorter flower times than my fourteen week Haze, but that’s just a bonus and not a big motivator for me. Similarly, if what I need is something that kills pain and hits you with the nap-hammer, I don’t care if it’s eight weeks or ten plus.
How do you decide? Is flower time a big factor for most people growing strictly for personal use?
