once i had a plant just die, out of nowhere. one day it was fine, the next the leaves were drooping.
i went to pull it up to do an autopsy and i'll be damned if it didn't look like a sharpened pencil on the end. it was pointed just like a pencil just below the soil. ants carved the stem down to a fine point.
2 grammes. from a hydro plant from a bunch of low yielding hydros that i kept in a corner alongside my proper flowerers. The plants were about 6ft from the light.
I do it all the time. If there's space, use it. I need all the bud I can get.
my first grow was all oaksterdam clones. we really messed em up. under nuting, heat stress, mites. on the smallest plant we yielded 1.75 grams dry. it was a kryptonite or sour grape. we're doing much, much better this time with bubble gum bubbas.
