In this clip from We The Growers E.24, Marcus Baldinger with Growlink Controllers breaks down what 'Crop Steering' is.

Crop Steering is an advanced cultivation strategy where the grower manipulates the plants environment in order to trigger different types of growth. Irrigation, temperature, humidity, and light are all different ways that you can 'steer' your plants to a desired result.

When Crop Steering, there are two different types of growth that you can trigger in the plant: Vegetative Growth and Generative Growth. The main difference between these two types of growth is the amount of stress that the plant is being exposed to. Intoducing stress to the plant may sound counter-intuitive but as Marcus explains in this video, exposing your plants to stress at the right time can trigger them to do certain things. For example, steering the plant Generatively at the right time will help stack more budsites along the branches, while steering the plant Vegetively at the right time will help bulk up those budsites.

Timing is everything. If you want to learn more about Crop Steering and when we suggest triggering these different types of growth, check out The Athena Handbook by visiting [ Ссылка ]
