New bud site after defoliation. Keep or trim?
cnkicestarted grow question 5 years ago
Found those perfect healthy new bud sites after defoliation. Bud sites are below my trellis but have exposure to light.
1. Should I trim them to boost the main cola above? I'm in flower week 5 and my strain is auto.
2. Keep them.
Any suggestions?

Trim to help get the other sites fatter :)
As mentioned tho, keep em and dry em etc and see what your girls will be like :)

If you were a few weeks earlier, I would say cut everything that is below the trellis.
Since you’re in week 5, I would just let them go now. Cheers!

This late in, you really won't gain anything by trimming them now. Let them go and use them for hash.

Ensuring Fat Buds Once Flowering Begins?What can I do to get fat buds on a pure Sativa outdoor pot plant, once she begins to flower?
Stopped feeding, excepting a handful of wood ash, to increase potassium.
Super cropped her before I switched to 12-12 light, I'd read it'll increase resin production.
Any thing else?Week 1

The first grow isn't turning out well. Anyhow the buds are too heavy for the branches and one has already collapsed. Should I keep feeding the plant for the remaining buds and cut the bent branch.... or just flush->harvest, harvest all together? 10% of the tri's are amber.Buds. Other
