So I have my plant topped and I would like to start the flowering stage... However the new shoots (4 of them) growing at the 2 tops of the plant are only starting to pass their first node... My question is should I wait for them to develop more or is it ok to start flowering now? Because I don't want my yield to decline simply because I flowered before the new shoots could grow big and I know for a fact that the lower parts of my plant aren't going to produce much bud so I'm depending on the colas... Help would be much appreciated
Depends on strain but I pinch 2 weeks into flowering with Sour Diesel, 10 days with Durban and only a few days later when we grow Hash Plant or Black Domina. You pretty much cannot pinch enough. Embrace your inner Bonsai!
