My plant is extremely bushy and thick with a lot of nodes coming up in random places. Will this be a problem in flowering? Can I just separate the colas as they develop in flowering? My concern is the light getting to each cola. However my 1200W LED is doing a good job atm.

The plamt is looking great and bushy. And when colas begin to get big, you may need some sticks of bamboo to help hold them up but yes also to kind of separate them for good airflow. I think your light will also be good through flowering, 1200 led is pretty powerful. However if you were to do a slight defoliation and remove any leaves blocking those bud sites, it will help immensely, taking off 10-20% in the veg and then another small one into early flowering. Just dont get too carried away removing leaves as the plant will still need some good healthy ones. Happy growing great job already.

So long as you keep all the tops the same length it will produce many large buds. At this stage I would only remove leaves that are shading branches reverting them from maintaining that even canopy. Once in flower then you can remove the large fan leaves and lower branches that won’t get enough light to produce quality buds

I would transplant before flowering, to a 20 liter pot, to give the plant more space for the stretch. As for separating the colas, sure LST works great, tying down the branches helps a lot in keeping the canopy even and is not stressful at all. As for defoliation, be careful if you've never done it and only do it after the stretch is done, at day 21 of flower if you want to.

Hi, Defoliate the big fan leaves blocking bud sites so light can get through the canopy. That will help develop your colas ;) Hope this helps
