Basics of crop steering

[Chefdave]

Wanted to post basics of crop steering, this is overview of a professional data driven commercial crop steering program and protocols. The pictures are from cci black book which has inputs from whipple, advanced nutrients, aroya, and rhythm. This is the system that 99 percent of commercial growers use. It is only effective with total environmental control of your grow space, precise Fertigation and complete data tracking from sensors place in the coco or rock wool. It costs a lot of money for the initial start up, but the ROI for the increases in yield and quality are solid. Please note I understand that this info is irrelevant for most people, just posting if anyone has interest on this technique of modern cultivation. Crop steering has been used for 50 yrs, but the data driven cannabis specific program is 20 yrs young, and improving all the time through technological and equipment advancements .Cheers Dave

It's really simple, honestly, I know , a couple years ago when I first just looked at it, and didn't understand the wording and science behind it, I said wtf, no way , too technical, but then if you study it for 10 hrs or so, you get it , then you start to run it it and say ok, i see. I'm not advising anyone except someone who grows for profit to venture into it because it is expensive for the equipment to crop steer, not just the fertigation side of crop steering, but more so the environmental equipment needed to crop steer. But this is the only style of growing and system that I know of, that you can actually " steer" your plants to do want you want them to do. Rdwc matches or beats speed and yield , but is not as controllable and more of a pain in the ass for ph tolerances and drifting
