I switched my light to full spectrum, which was providing a bit more light and heat, so I raised it to like 1 ft. The manufacturer suggests 16” but I’m trying to keep my nodes close together. So far these are coming in super short and bushy.
Introduced some micro nutes and and a bit of Future Harvest’s easy bloom+ to the feed schedule.
1 of these was a bit taller than the others so near the end of the week I topped her and started a lil’ LST to expose those nodes better.
I have to leave town a few days so I just set up a little drip irrigation system to give some fresh water every 2 days while I’m gone. These ladies are due for a flush anyway.
Will a node that is from a bottom branch still produce a fat cola if it’s up in the canopy the same height as the top buds? Or does it need to be a top bud?
They are looking nice and healthy! And yes, any lower branch that grows even with the top will produce a nice fat bud the same as your main branches. That is why it is important to try to get light down to as many branches as possible. I take off a couple of the bottom nodes in veg but leave most of them there. As my plants go through the flowering stretch I watch the lower branches to see which ones are growing to the top. If a branch isn't growing up trying to fight its way to the top then I cut it off. I also remove big leaves from the top that are blocking light to the lower branches. It is definitely a learning process to see how they react and find a training style that works for you. Good luck!
I top my plants to make 4 main branches. If you look at them, all of the other buds come from lower side branches. You can get the same results with lst.
