Bud growth - popcorn nugs ?

yeah maybe dont defoliate for now, first stress the mainbuds and let recover....

Hi I looked at your growdiary, and it seems u didnt top or fim the plant. Also you have set-up the scrognet but did not fold the plantflowers neatly under them to make a canopy. I dont really see the training either, where stems are bend over to give the others more light. So what u now have is: some buds are too far away from the light and some are too close. You can dial in the light way better if u slightly bend the highest buds lower and weave them trhrough the net, if u have led, then setup led 24 inch from canopy. set led to 100%. Then, defoliate underside, remove leaves that have no light anyway. Then follow supercrop, where u bend and harm each stem that carries a bud.. Feed a litte more phosphor and calmag, stop feeding with three more weeks to start flush. Dont be affraid to carefully bend those highest buds under the net. If u have a snap, just tape it up, it will heal. Good Luck!!

P.S. - don't defoliate, it can/will cause smaller and/or slower growth due to the reduction of the plants capability to produce energy through photosynthesis. Less leaves = less energy = less growth. Cheers, Organoman.
