To many kola's

Hey Spidermite, have you heard of Kyle Kushman? He does a technique to strengthen the stems that he calls cannabis (or Kushman) chiropractic. He essentially creates little breaks in the stem without breaking the skin up and down the stems so that when they heal they are stronger. I personally have not had the balls to try it yet but the theory makes sense. Here is a vid timestamped to the "chiropractic" part.
 
I'll take a look. But does make a bit of sense. When you super crop, the area you bent the plant over gets alot bigger than the rest of the stem.
 
You know those mums in the grocery store plant/flower section. That's what it reminds me of Ell when you said that. Like a pot full of blooming rust colored mums. LOL
 
alltatup, Just take a nursey pot and flip it upside down- then place your plant on that, as it raises the plant about 10" -perfect height for the second stage harvest!
 
Totally makes sense. The plant can only produce so much during photosynthesis. Dividing that amount amongst multiple colas would cause a reduction from any one single cola getting the bulk of the goodies.
 
Dont forget the more colas the larger the plant, the more leaves, and the larger root system. All this increases the plants ability to utilize more light, nutrients, and water.
 
Here’s a good educational website. It covers everything from virus to fungi to plants and animals. Not all of it is pertinent to our gardens, but the stuff about plants is a fantastic primer on how plants work. Be sure to scroll down the list of courses to find the plant subject matter.

It’s interesting to understand the flow of nutrients and water from roots to leaf and back again. How the stoma works. And more critically, the movement of nutrients from leaves to fruit/reproduction cells (Hint: it goes from the leaf to the closest location needing it). It’s important to understand that there is a ratio of leaf-to-root that always wants to be in balance. Throwing this equilibrium out of balance can be useful, but understanding, what happens to the plant and it’s potential outcomes, is what we need to know.

Last few weeks I’ve been going down the path of learning more about plants and photosynthesis.
 
YYCannabis Here's what I just learned on the biology website:

We're in the same Domain!!!! I knew we were related!!! :laugh:
 
Glad you found the link useful. In today’s era people want quick answers, relying on the experience of others. Unfortunately, even if you follow an experienced person’s advice...on any subject matter...it’s good to understand the underlying reasons why the answer is either good advice or bad advice.

Plants take time to grow. Use that time to learn. 😉
 
But yes, seriously Mr.furley, do you not agree with the principle that for indoor growers limited by space, it's better to grow fewer and larger buds? I mean, that seems to be the principle used by all the master growers' plants we see over on GWE.
