Plagron power buds/Zammi Biscotti comp

Hi Growmies. The Biscotti Teens have been adding a little size but definitely nothing like the stretch period I have been accustomed to. Rhey are looking nice and healthy with a very pliable stem still too. They have been easy to keep trained in their shapes with quite a good amount of mains forming in their own light and space. I have been pulling the odd leaf off here and there to ensure light is getting to the inner growth but nothing like a defoliation of any kind. I do expect that this will become a regular pattern during this period but I do want to keep as muchnof that foliage as is practical. I do hate killing off those huge fan leaf powerhouses when they have been doing such a great job and no doubt have some contribution to make during the final phase with all that chlorophyll still unused. The #3 does seem to be the leader for overall size but #1 is really showing some promising branching out too. No signs of their sex yet ( feminised seeds) but still to show the two white hairs of female characteristics. Usually by day 10 these hairs are showing on all viable bracts and the star shapes of flowering start to appear in the canopy. The Plagron definitely reduces the stretch which has left me with some very stout girls that could really hold some good fruit weight. I am hoping the real benefit of losing the stretch period is bore out with a final yield as halving the plants size at harvest seems counter productive on paper...... Time will tell. Be lucky and have great growth and sweet flowers.
