thought id drop a line and show the results i got with bens tech. worked out great, though next time around ill probably do a little more under-branch pruning to try to control my results a little more.
i wanted to know how leaving the coty nodes on would effect the cola results, so 2 plants were planned as 2 toppers (one with coty nodes, one without) and the third was supposed to be 4 tops (left the coty nodes just because on it). heres a few details about them that made me want to control the branches more next time:
pic 1 - this was supposed to be the 2 top WITH the coty node still intact. well, one of the branches on that coty node caught some auxins, and it turned into a 3 head.
pic 2 - this was gunna be the 4 header. well, one branch just never got as mature as the other 3, so it ended up mainly just a 3 top. if you notice the cola on the left of the pic, its a bit bulkier and mishapen than the others. early on in flower it stretched to the light overnight and burned it. it was stunted for about a week, then started putting on weight twice as fast as the other 2.
pic 3 - this was the double that i removed the lower coty branches off of. came out exactly as intended, 2 tops, no retarded branches of any sort, and even looks more lush than the other 2 girls.
this has led me to want to remove those coty leaves on future girls, just for the control factor if anything. anyways, ive rambled enough, just wanted to share my results and thank everyone for the previous help and of course thanks to Ben for the great guide!
Keep it Rolled guys!
-edit- kept the 3 pics of them when they were a little younger below to show how they looked just before flower =D
-edit2- you may also notice pic 2 is showing a discernibly different pheno than the other 2 (which are identical). not sure if this has something to do with the stress from the light burn incident or what, but should be interesting to see since i imagine it will yield twice as much as the other 2 in the end.
