4 days after topping, the plant is as good as new!
I think that due to some genetic imbalance in the plant, one of the main branches is way beefier (right) than the other (left). I supercropped the left branch hoping this will give it some beefiness.
After supercropping the left branch 3 days ago, now I have a more balanced grow on the left branch. Right branch is still better in terms of new branches that are a bit more developed than on the left side, but overall things are more balanced now.
Let's see how this goes.. 😅 I think in a week or so I'm going for the last topping (the growth spots for left and right branches), and some lollipopping. Not sure at the moment what the exact setup will be, as the initial one was going for 12 colas, but at the moment I'm tempted to have 6 on the left branch and 8 on the right polyploid branch.
Very nice plant, you did a great job.
Yes, I also have 4 side shoots that don't catch up.
I should have tied the larger ones further down until the others had clearly caught up with them.
@AcidBurn_40, I tried keeping the canopy flat - and managed to do that successfully during veg, but once the flowering stretch started I didn't have the space to do that as my box is pretty small (60x37x80cm)
