Plant Sizeing And Spaceing

Plant Size and Spacing
- Manjuana varieties differ not Oflly in their growth rate, but
also in their potential size. The grower also plays a role in determin-
log the size of the plants because the plants can be induced to flower
at any age or size just by regulating the number of hours of uninter-
rupted darkness that the plants receive.
Growers have different ideas about how much space each plant
needs. The closer the plants are spaced, the less room the individual
plant has to grow. Some growers use only a few plants in a space,
and they grow the plants in large containers. Other growers prefer
to fill the space with smaller plants. Either method works, but a
gar den with smaller plants which fills the space more completely
probably yields more in less time. The total vegetative growth in a
Worn containing many small sized plants is greater than a room
co ntaining only a few plants. Since each plant is smaller, it needs
less time to grow to its desired size. Remember that the gardener is
in terested in a crop of beautiful buds, not beautiful plants.
The amount of space a plant requires depends on the height the
plants are to grow. A plant growing 10 feet high is going to be wider
than a 4 foot plant. The width of the plant also depends on cultiva-
don practices. Plants which are pruned grow wider than unpruned
plants. The different growth characteristics of the plants also affect
die space required by each plant. In 1-or 2-light gardens, where the
plants are to grow no higher than 6 feet, plants are given between 1
and 9 square feet of space. In a high greenhouse lit by natural light,
Where the plants grow 10-12 feet high, the plants may be given as
m uch as 80 to 100 square feet.
