So I've got some plants that have been in 12/12 for about 30 days. They are indica dominate, safari mix/satori.
If it matters, I'm growing in canna coco coir, few plants in 2.5 gallon square pots, and a couple in 6 gallon round pots.
I've been using canna brand nutrients, still using canna A/B, no PK 13/14 yet. Also cal/mag+, hygrozyme, a 1/4 dose of floralicious, and at a PH of 5.8, still trying to dial it all in.
I know I have too many different strains, and did a number of things wrong/not the best way, I've learned, but I'd still love to crop out as much as I can!
It's my first grow, they veg'd for a long time, and grew too tall for my room, so I cut them back a tad about 6 weeks ago, but only 6-12 inches.
Until about a week ago, things in my room were a mess, plants pushed up close to the lights (2 x 400 watt CMH aircooled very well), too crowded, wasn't watering as often as I should (twice weekly) just not good.
So I dropped plants outside, removing a total of 5 from the room.
1 week ago I bent/tied back the plants by the main stalk, and was able to drop the lights by almost 2 feet.
Only problem now is that there aren't any main colas at all, not really even anything resembling a cola.
There are alot of budsites, some of which I know will be pointless.
However I also figure that I've got some extra flowering time added on, due to how things went, and tying the plants back, etc.
So I have a few questions...
#1. When should I trim budsites?
#2. What should I trim and when?
IE, if I cutoff a ton of sites right now, will alot of energy go into making a few solid colas, or will it stunt the plant?
What should I do? There are lots and lots of budsites. Lots.
I should take a picture in the morning, it'll explain things better.
