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 https://www.athenaag.com/

Can you say BULLSHIT.
Great stuff guys. Thanks
1000 words told with nothing? what is the topic of conversation? 0 specific information, what is this whole conversation about?😂😂😂
During generative stage do u allow medium to dry back when lights are on some or keep at field capacity and only a long dryback at night?
Amazing video
You kids and your stupid terms and leds. Why do you want to gmo everything in life? Take a chill pill and just enjoy it for once
Crop steering is spending tons of money to make everything perfect and then guessing at a bunch of stuff to make sure you have bag appeal.
So we’re pretty much gaslighting plants ?? Got it
Thanks buddy
In my garden, maintaining the DLI from veg into flower is the number one crop steering technique that limits stretching and tightens nodal spacing. Similar to seedling stretch!
Increasing ppfd 20% per day for the first five days at flip, is an effective light intensity buffering strategy. DLI and VPD modulation during transitions done "thoughtfully", will improve yield and quality, imho.
W humans thanks for the video
This is all bullshit. I've been growing indoors and outdoors since 1993. Back in the 2000s I was running 30 HPS light indoor rooms that were growing fire that was WAY better than any of this "cropsteer" bullshit you guts grow. I was using Hortilux bulbs, rockwool slabs, and GH 3 part nutrients. Best weed I've ever seen in my life.

So I ran the same strain fully Jen and then fully veg you get better quality and harder buds when you run generative butt you drastically lose out on yield so it's really going to depend on the strain your running sometimes hand-watering once in the morning in a Big 5 gallon pot which is generative steering gives you the best quality
