Hello again ,
So my question is about colas. By colas i mean the main bud at the top of the plant, the one that looks solid and looks like 1 giant bud. I saw a video by seemorebuds (15 lbs in 80 days) and it was curious to me that the person in that video got a bunch of colas like he did (when using the aqua mist hydroponic system with 4 600w hps's for 100 plants) because the only light the plants had was on the tops. It was so dense with foliage and such that no light was available to lower branches/bud sites.
Do you need to do Low Stress Training or something similar to get thick colas? Or does the energy the plant gets from the tops transfer to the buds below the very tops? I was under the impression that if it doesn't get direct light it doesn't grow (or at least doesn't mature all the way).
And do lanky stretched plants always form some sort of cola or is it possible for the pant to be to stretched to form them?
And one last question i have, if anyone can answer it, is how are the colas formed? I mean like do the 3-4 little bud sites at the top of the plant swell into big enough buds to make 1 big cola? Or do new bud sites continually pop up until they all form to make the cola? Ive never actually paid attention to how they formed... and now I'm curious .
Thanks again for all the help guys.
