Completely normal mate. I call them knuckles, it's just where you bend the branches it causes a little bit of damage, becomes far more evident when super cropping. Nothing to worry about.

Well that the plant healing it self and the better the knot the better the support . This is call super cropping or monster cropping or major stress training .. what Eva it call it’s a good thing I do this all the time come check out my page

Unless your stalks and stems start turning purple it's just a totally normal process . Check out the super/monster cropping technique. Part of that is intentionally building these bends in your plant to get more yield out of the colas. You're fine , coldkey! Hope this helps! 🚀

@Coldkey hi mate that is normal it's because when you bend the branches you sometimes break the membranous tissue of the stem (similiar to hst and supercropping) and as it heals it forms a knuckle of harder tissue Which aids the plant by being a lot stronger now and can hold more weight as a result Hope this answers your question and good luck

Ok well first of all she looks very healthy and the training you did there looked good. You spread her out good and she looks to take it well too. The whole knuckle thing is normal I've had my OG Kush plump up into a big knuckle where I super cropped the main stem.. it is very normal and will often lead to more nutrients being fed through this area Making a bigger cola as well..hope that answers the question ..waiting on the picture as well of that knuckle .cheers
