MOVING YOUR CANNABISL PLANTS
-----------------------------------------
Once you have germinated your CannabiSL seed, it's just like other plants and requires special handling if you want to move (transplant) it. It's not rocket science, but it will help prevent some "strange issues" that new growers sometimes report back to us. If you don't move your CannabiSL plants properly, you may experience growing plants that "jump" around at the end of an hourly growth period or you may find that your shake, sensemilla, or seed bricks "vanish."
Here's the drill:
- If possible, place your seed before germinating it. This is really the simplest solution: Plant 'em where you want 'em, and leave 'em there!
- Once you have germinated a plant, you can move it during the vegetative growth phase. To do this:
- Click the plant to display the owner menu.
- Select "Pause" from the menu.
- Right-click the plant, select edit, and move it. You may also take it into inventory while paused.
- After repositioning the plant, click to display the owner menu.
- Select "Resume" from the menu.
Plants that have entered the flowering phase should not be moved, as this will cause the bricks (produced at harvest) to rez at the original place where the plant was located. (If you have missing bricks, the first place to check is where you had the plants placed earlier.)
TIP: If you have indoor or indoor/outdoor plants and move them under a Grow-Lite, be sure to Pause before moving and Resume afterwards. If you rez a light over indoor plants after they are growing, Pause and Resume even if you don't actually move the plants. That way the plants will scan and recognize the lighting system.
USING PLANT FOOD
-----------------------------------------
Strictly speaking, CannabiSL Plant Food Spikes are optional. Your plants will grow at the predefined growth rate without them. Plant Food Spikes accelerate growth for plants within a 1 meter range. Just like real plants, you must manually feed them by clicking "Feed" in the owner menu during the vegetative growth phase. Each growth period takes approximately one hour, and you can feed the plant once during each period. Feeding increases growth by 5% during that time period. And just like with real plants, overfeeding is not good. Overfeeding results in a 1% decrease in the normal growth expected during that growth period.
Plant Food Spikes are time sensitive and last for 48 hours. They transition from green (100%-50% time left) to yellow (50%-0% time left) to red (expired), and you can see the exact number of hours remaining by clicking on the Plant Food Spike and watching local chat. While they are active, Plant Food Spikes will feed any number of plants (within range) any number of times (including overfeeding).
Plant Food Spikes are available on Marketplace and at our inworld store.
VERSION UPDATES
The CannabiSL Skunk Works is busy working on version 1.2. In the new version, each CannabiSL variety will have its own unique foliage color, and plants will be "feminized" so that you will get (statistically speaking) 2/3's females and a higher seed yield. We are also working on an easier way to move plants to address the issues mentioned in this newsletter. The new version will remain "genetically" backwardly compatible with version 1.11 seeds. When version 1.2 is released, we will offer a one-for-one seed swap to members of the CGBG. Keep an eye on the group for more!
Remember, bring your friends by our inworld store. If they join the CGB Group and put on the group tag, there is a Pot Bot that will give them a free Purple Haze seed! Then team up with them, see if you have a breeding pair, and GROW YOUR OWN!
In closing, the CannabiSL Team -- Djeaux, Gleaux, and BlueNote -- wish you and yours a Happy Holiday season and a New Year filled with blue skies and green plants! Happy growing! It's 4:20 somewhere! :)
