*well go gently at first.. if you feel tearing instead of the typical crunching sound.. then yea.. guess your chicks arent made to be spanked :(
 
Lol awww lame!
Do you think ti will do anything at all? or just continue to grow back like normal? or stop?
 
Well This is my first good grow so far, so Ill let you guys know if it does branch off and make 2 tops per say, lol

I dont really expect it do do anything, it would be cool to see it branch offf though
 
yes, remove the weak shit .. i agree with the other post, unless those side shoots are near the top coming from a cola or an upper branch getting good direct light , remove all that skinny weak growth near the bottom of the plant
you only need keep the most lush healthy/thick branches to produce a consistent yield of colas .. i remove branches/leaves to shape the overall canopy to allow even light and air distribution .. my plants grow pretty big so i often have nothing at all for the bottom 6 inch/1ft all growth removed, to only allow bud growth at the top of the canopy where the most intense light is

i call those types of shoots/branches "side shoots" its lateral branching something like that .. :)
some plants have the tendency to grow many long side shoots from each branch, ive found this a good trait as all these plants produced many buds sites all over the plants and were high yields, these multi side shoot plants are great for scog .. cant say i have ever thought of topping a side shoot though :)
 
Lol thanks man!

Well ima wait a week and see what it does you never know... maybe itll create a whole new plant! lol yea right

its just an experiment, I think thats the best way to learn, see what you can and cant do to a plant :P
 
yadefintiely tri that up all your power comes from the bottom its like an inline perch all the smoke goes out the first 3 or 4 slits in the glass because its first in line like the little buds on the bottom of the plant..
 
yeh i agree its all fun, getting in and seeing what she can take
bending pruning etc etc i like all that, much better than those who are so afraid to do anything to their plants in fear they will stress them to death lol , get in and learn i say :mrgreen:
