Apical Growth

The UK is an Autocracy. We have a head of state that no one elects, an upper house that no one elects and a government that is elected by a minority. Unless the ruling classes suddenly all become stoners it will always be criminal. The only way it will become legal is if the ruling class can make some money.
I'd guess there's more than just money as a leveraging point. I mean, that's probably the biggest, but if there was large enough public dissatisfaction, that also could cause some action...and I don't mean dissatisfaction about cannabis laws...sometimes its worth throwing the 'little things' at the peasants so they think they're getting concessions and being heard. In many ways here in the US states have legalized not because of any true political motivation beyond that it's widely popular and politicians need a few points at and in the polls.

Here the opposite is true.

I’d be staying out of the light and off the radar regardless!
if the law change it wouldn’t be for “our” benefit.

The price would eventually fall and broccoli would be just as valuable.

I look at the majority of the American model and cringe ( no offence intended)

I give away 75% of what I grow, so that kind of stuff is why the market is in the tank. Not so worried about the law changing, I have the setup and seeds have been legal for years. I applaud their attempt at making the business socially equitable, but of course politics muddy the water. Also, they're slowly expunging criminal records of cannabis convictions and commuting sentences for those who have been imprisoned.

Spumoni has a phenotype that does this from a very early age. Starts alternating nodes after about the fifth node. Makes manifolding a fun experience - just count the twos, even if they aren't opposite each other.
o youd have to top early then, Im running Spumoni as well, topped it early though and worked out well.

You mean after they start alternating nodes? Same as any other plant, just pick a node below the top and cut
But I dont think that will split the plant into two tops, controll height will it? I guess thats my main concern is height, but on an Apical plant cutting the top will it cause the plant to stay shorter and bushier or will it continue to just grow apical?

I've grown it a few times now - top quality every time. I'm sure you will enjoy her very much. I've found two main phenos, both with a classic fuel/cookies flavour - one slightly more stretchy than the other (the stretchy one is the one that alternates early). I have had one of another pheno that actually tasted more like haze to me - but with a serious indica effect.

Regarding the alternating nodes; I haven't really had a problem with it. Quite a fun little new learning curve to be honest.

Great user name by the way - probably my favourite Led Zep song! Nice one! :-)

I've only grown her in soil. Not the greatest yielder in soil - but the flavour is as good as it gets.
