My buds arent filling out

I heard that before you hang it to dry you should cut all the leaves off. But ive also heard of people leaving them on and drying it first. Whats the best way?

Then when out side gets crispy trim. Set in paper bag or box for 24 to 48 jar it fluffy and lightly with lids off 24 to 48 then put top on and moniter moisture in jars when burping 6+ times a day. Then as it starts staying less moist for longer burp less.

If you are in a hot dry climate just pull the big fan leaves off if you are in a cold humid climate trim before you hang. You can dry and cure tons of different ways it's not as complicated as people make it.

I mean in Michigan winter is quite dry...you could just take off all big leafs and trim sugar leaf when a bit dryer when buds are separated from plant...

Looking better, if its still in veg you are going to have serious problems with height if you don't do some training or topping. Because once you flip it back to flower its gonna stretch again and be super tall. Personally I would chop that thing down to about the 4th or 5th node and train it up. make it a bush instead of that lanky looking tree

Changing the light should not do that are you sure there wasn't a different problem? IDK how changing light source could possibly cause a reveg. Revegging is from the light cycle changing not the light source
Not true, I have 2 plants in a tent under cheap blurple led, 18/6. It started doing the same thing as this plant, I put a cmh 315w light in there and it straightened out within a week or so. Some cheap led's have too much red and will screw up the progression of the plant. Cheap fix is to add a couple of CFL daylight bulbs.

Yeah that's just not true...you realize she already figured out it wasn't the light right? You must be on your first grow? Maybe 2nd? What your saying is impossible.

I topped it yesterday after taking those pics. Hoping it would stop it from growing any taller

Sorry, oh most enlightened one, but shit that is supposed to be impossible, happens all the time. As far as my grows go, I was probably growing before your daddy first jacked his junk. Hell, I even remember when pot mellowed users out and didn't make them shitty about everything. I'm sure you know everything there is to know about everything that has to do with growing, but little guy, you got a lot to learn.
