Researched endlessly and could not find a definitive answer so as usual I went HAM and made a huge decision in line with my 'winging it' philosophy. The plant was so bushy I just figured so much bud sites would be in shade so I looked online and read to trim every dang fan leaf. So I did. Controversy? IDK. Plants didn't die, what they did was regrow every fan leaf over night and spring up a few more inches... intended... maybe? Things look ok at this point but now I'm not so sure about pruning so heavily. If its just going to regrow every fan leaf that I trim then doesn't that mean the plant is growing leaves not buds?
Aahhh. After scouting around this website for grows similar to my own I have solved the mystery of what I did wrong. I now realise I probably should have switched my lighting weeks sooner. Now the beast is growing at a phenomenal rate and I haven't even started to see bud sites. What I took for bud sites was just pistils I guess. Now I'm not sure what to do.
I feel that I kept my plant vegging for too long. It seems a lot taller than it should be and now I am not sure whether I should remove fan leaves or top the plants again to halt their upward growth. OR should I do nothing because they will stop growing upwards soon anyways?
Stop defoiliating in week 3 of flower, super crop tops if needed but don't top, it will slow it down,super cropping she will recover faster. Good luck,
Ps.your humidity seems a bit low👍
