dude that would be pimp ass. 100 plus bud sites is what i'm after. Will the buds be as big as if i just let the plant grow on its own and had only one top cola??? My goal is to grow a few about the size of what FDD has grown. Damn he's got some nice plants. I don't understand how he gets such a massive yield out of his thre plants. Something like 6 or 7 pounds off of like 3 plants. Fuckin eh
I haven't seen fdd's plants could you pm me a link or post it. I am just getting underwat withna grow very similar to M blaze and his pics of the new girls ( name of thread, sorry don't know how to insert links with my iPhone) I'd be very inerested to see another big grow... I'll do a search.
The new budsites should be similar in size to the would have been single cola had you not trained. The two factors I can point out are that the cola or top of the plant recieves the most light in horizontal setups and the plant knows that this is the top or area of new growth so when it comes time to bud that's where the majority of the growth budwize occurs.
When you train the plant you are tricking it into thinking it has more than one top ( which it does... But not normally) in response to this the plant will develop more roots and stronger branches and main taproot. So to turn one plant into many. The plant senses the increase in light in areas that weren't getting as much and chemical reactions take place to encourage " extra " growth. Now 100 budsites is not impossible butbwould take paitence and a fairly long veg and or fast growing genetics. Reasonably you could get between 25-40 per plant in a 8 week veg from an established clone of known sex. And I mean tops not counting lower stragglers which you can cull early to promote the top bud growth.. But don't remove the fan leaves if anything try to make the leaf canopy as even as possible
