... i am always down to here how ur test goes please keep me posted.

Will do - I'll pop in from time to time with an update. A side-by-side test would be best - but I have good pictures of the last grow - same strain (indica skunk plants), same environment (mostly) but very little pruning. Should be easy to compare my current grow to the previous one and see how it's tracking. Of course, the ultimate test will be yield...

my son trims it all but the main shoot....seems to work for him....lavendar

I think this is most precise. Trim from the bottom so it promotes the most growth to the upper part of the plant. I deff read that on this site

I know from seed if you go 12/12 this will happen but how is it done with clone? its some way he trims them i think? its not lollipoping them either. i cant figure it out.

Irish... If he doesn't lollipop them, then IMO it's the genes of the mother plant.. She (the mother plant) must have been one of those girls that grow straight up and have no side branching. You know the ones that end up being mostly one cola bud.. He must of topped or LST the original mom and forced her to branch out then took clones. Of course (as we know) the clones would grow basically the same way the mom did, straight up with little side branching.

I think if you had some of those clones and vegged them for a couple of weeks, then FIM or super cropped you might be able to reproduce his results.. No?

Whata bastard, he wont show you how he does it eh? lol, I am sure you'd figure it out in no time tryin a sog method, but you like them bushes and they sure are purty to look at too!

hey i was wondering if anyone knew how to get those single cola plants from clones? I have a friend that grows clones and some how he gets these clones that are around 12" and its just one 2oz bud the size of a football. he wont say how he does it?

I know from seed if you go 12/12 this will happen but how is it done with clone? its some way he trims them i think? its not lollipoping them either. i cant figure it out.

Its all about the trim job and when you do the trimming. The idea is to keep the nugz as close to the stalk as possible. You can train them (via LST)..kinda cheating but its all good..

OR.. you trim the plants back to first node closest to the main stalk. Trim back as needed when your in veg. Most growers don't like to do this as they see more branches means more buds. This is and isn't true, depending on the strain. Indicas give off better colas. Whereas Sativa's do better for Scrog, lst'n and growing big plants with small plant numbers.

With that being said, Run indicas and trim the branching after that first node closet to the main stalk. I'm putting some picts for you right now, to help give you an idea of how to do it.

yup some people are asses like that. its was crazy i couldn't even wrap both my hands one the one bud. its was huge

that is true but not what he did

no no the strain he had like 50 different strains witch some ive grown and they were all single colas, and when i grew them they were not. its how he trimming them and its not lollipoping.

ding ding we have a winner. I bet thats how he does it!! makes perfect sense! I would love to see those pics when you get a chance. +rep for sure!

 

[TorturedSoul]

Over-application of a stunning agent such as Bushmaster or the like, combined with trimming, perhaps?

Here you go, i hope you don't mind posting the tutoial:

Baby plant

Lower Branching

This is an example of where to cut on the lower branching.

(((SNIP, SNIP)))

And in about a week these little nubs will give off enough foliage to promote the single cola branching as you want.

I trim a week before triggering flower and for plants that have a big stretch you can do it up to the 4-5th day of flowering. I like sticking to doing it a week before.

so you do this to all the branches right but leave their fan leaves i would Imagen?

 

[dogsnova]

its how he trimming them and its not lollipoping.

I miss read sorry bout that.. I thought he was doing it without trimming at all..

Yeah Butcher's trim job looks correct..

for sure. got my new lights in today. ill have pics up of the DIY latter on

 

[The Butcher]

You got it leave the fan leafs on. Keep in mind the uppers usually grow into a cola anyway. What your doing is insuring the inner-flowering sites get more light to give off denser buds. And with 2 sites instead of 1, in theory your increasing your overall yeild of that plant.

now couldn't i do this with LST? when the other branches think their the tops couldn't i just trim all them this way and get lots of big buds per plant?

 

[The Butcher]

Yeah that is exactly what you want to do as you lst. Leave the tops and maybe 1 or 2 below that. Trim Trim trim those lowers to help push that energy upward. You will end up with denser tops that way. I started toping plants, then with the multi-colas going Lolli-pop each and every one therefore increasing the overall yield.

 

[TorturedSoul]

Well... You'll get absolute largest buds in a situation where you actually remove all of the other bud(-sites) instead of just training. Same thing with pinching off sucker vines on tomato plants. And if you know anyone that grows 1000-pound pumpkins, they will tell you that part of growing those freaks is in removing all other buds so that all of the plant's energy will go towards the one giant fruit.

Only thing is, I remain unconvinced that such a strategy will produce the highest gross yield. And since even most small buds are larger than the average bowl/paper/etc., maximum bud size has never been that important to me.

But it does make for some fun bench-racing and experimentation.

 

[The Butcher]

Sounds like an experiment is brewing here..
