Could you share you logic for stressing the plants? I don't stress my seedlings. In fact they are coddled beyond belief. I currently get roughly an 75% truss 1 mega-bloom success rate.

How do you intentionally stress your plants... temps, lighting, watering, verbal abuse?

Cold, drought, excess rain, weeds, insects. And in the case of the 8.68 ripping the plant out of the ground. I posted some more pics, because they are worth 1,000 words.

Interesting concept, Gritty Ketchup. My issue is heat come June and not sure how much the humidity factors in, but I will have 2 plants both well rooted and one will flag. Best heat tolerant plant I ever grew was from Canada... go figure (1059 VMG).
