Harvesting Faster With An Outdoor Crop
There is one way to harvest a crop sooner when planting outdoors or in a greenhouse and that is by using clones, these are cuttings from a plant that the person has decided is the perfect refer for them.
The clone since it is a cutting will only need to root prior to being planted outside and this means it has already grown leaves and is on its way to maturing faster than a seedling. This is a large advantage, because it means the harvesting of this crop will occur faster than a crop that has been planted from germinated seeds. The person growing the crop will also know how long it will take for the crop to mature, since they have the mother plant that the clones came from.
Cones are also a great advantage for people that are planting refer in locations with a short growing season; this ensures that the crop will have time to mature before the weather becomes to cold for the plants.
One of the favorite things about planting clones outdoors is there is no need to wonder what the harvested product will be, this is because it is a genetic clone of the mother plant that was selected for quality.
The person growing the refer will also know how healthy of a plant this is and that will reflect on how healthy and how good the harvest will be. This is only possible with clones because they have the same DNA as the plant the cuttings were taken from, which was chosen for these types of reasons. |
