I like the suggestions though, thanks. |
to my observation, at least with most strains, this is not the case. If you grow the usual indoor "christmas tree" you end up with one sweet cola, some good site buds, some small buds and lots of tiny stuff. Once the plant loses its tip it will grow 2 to replace the lost one, and if this step is taken ahead of time you will end up with a plant grown after a single topping into a stem splitting into 2 strong stems which both will grow branches and each a huge main cola. And taking in consideration that there is not the space to grow to "full" size as outdoors the colas will carry the main bulk. the one thing here that is also to be kept in mind is to provide enough volume for the roots to grow, the root system must be able to support multiple colas growing on a single plant.
