@con, wow, you have seriously chunky buds. Excellent work on the undercarriage cleanup. I’ve learned how important it is when you train a plant with a canopy. I have the Double Grape side by side with the Cherry Pie. On the DG I did a total shit job on the underside, and see what I have? Contrast that with the CP, on which I did a great job on the undercarriage, and every cola is big and chunky. Those crap branches and buds really rob a lot more energy, and therefore bulk, from your money buds/colas, than I ever thought. I’ll never fail to clean up underneath properly again, it’s such a dramatic difference. So you also experienced the leaves going nuts effect. I figured you would at least on the one. Are you enjoying the defoliation? Ha. For me it was like they didn’t even feel it or were aware that I took a huge handful of leaves - just like yours, they perked right back up and kept making more. Lol. But do you feel the chunkiness of the buds has anything to do with the side lighting? It’s a tough thing to gauge. But jeez, you’re like, universally chunky here. That’s kinda rare, no? I’d bet on the side lights having their desired effect. Great job.
