Vegetative
Vegetative measurements protocol are the same across the different products.
For good representative data we want ideally 20 plants measured once a week. 15 plants is acceptable but best not to go below that. But: growers can consciously choose fewer or more, depending on how much time they want to invest vs. how much precision/confidence they want.
We advise to take vegetative measurements on different plants than the generative measurements.
