like my plants are definately to bushy right now for how I would prefer them to fit , as far as light reaching the low parts, and issues of huge top buds bending branches(almost every day a new one leaning over for me to prop up and fix lol) They like 4 1/2 to 5ft tall, supposidely "sweet tooth" strain. does anyone here firmly believe in just letting them go up naturaly? cuz I have 2 that I only pinched a tiny bit and they are my fav of all the plants, they stand up beautifuly and have like 1 super main cola each and then like 3-4 other towers that are pretty impressive compared to my other bushy ones. Like is the quality of one main cola better than that of bushy colas? And does stressing a branch make the plant rush more water there and makes those buds bigger? my friend was claiming that by breaking a little or bending it helpd the bud alot, jus wondered if any one had any opinions on that
To me it definitely depends on strands. I have several plants that I knew grew large cola buds which would be the ones to supercrop or train to your will. Others like Amnesia haze and primarily sativa dominate plants I allow to grow by themselves. They grow tall and seem to produce the most bud by letting them grow naturally. When grown naturally a lot of plants will grow their own main heads from bottom branches. This year I had a plant that grew wider than tall and it was untouched so to me its mostly depends on strand. If your growing indoors and you want to maximize your yield and do not have a tall grow room training your plant to grow wide with a lot of heads would be the way to go. hope this helps to some degree
