THAT doesn't help him much. all stems do NOT become colas. only if no other stem is higher than it. as in TOPPING.That doesn't help him much.
Technically, all stems become colas. If you want four good sized colas, either top the plant or LST the plant so it has four stems that go all the way to the top of the canopy. These will then become big colas
yes.......that one. thanx AlexUncle Bens topping for 2 or 4 main colas is the thread I would be reading.......pinch above the first true node for 2. Pinch above the second true node for 4. Most pinch when the 5th or 6th node appears....
Most welcome Scrog......yes.......that one. thanx Alex
true dat........LST fools plants into forming multiple colas also. any time the leader growth tip is removed, or bent below 90 degrees, that releases hormones like auxin, to shift lead growth to other limb(s).depends how you define colas, if you scog a plant then all the growth is cola if you do it right
each branch will have some bud growth on it, the closer to the light it is will normally make it bigger although some strains have heavy lower branches
general rule is, if you can get it in direct light, it will become a cola, there is no real limit to how many colas a plant can produce it very much depends on strain
and training methods
peace
Now why did you disagree with what I said but agree to what this guy said when its exactly the same thing?true dat........LST fools plants into forming multiple colas also. any time the leader growth tip is removed, or bent below 90 degrees, that releases hormones like auxin, to shift lead growth to other limb(s).
all stems do turn colas. the only difference is the height of the stem. if it reaches the top of plant canopy then it will be large fat cola, if it doesnt reach that high then it will still be a cola just not as large as the top ones. How else do people get hella bud from hella branching.THAT doesn't help him much. all stems do NOT become colas. only if no other stem is higher than it. as in TOPPING.
