Do you clean up your plants before going to flower? I have found it to be very beneficial to drastically clean up my plants and remove anything that will not make it to the maximum penetration level of my lights. It also makes sense to remove growth that will never really amount to much, but still steals nutrition and energy from the top buds. I know this practice is common knowledge to most experienced growers, but the goal of the following pictures is to show new growers of weeds, just how drastically some of us clean out these plants. Don't be shy... it really does work well. I try to do this before flowering starts. I have a theory that while vegging, a plant will simply try to adapt to whatever you do to it, as evidenced by some of the crazy formations we can create with LST. I also believe that once the plant starts to flower, it has one goal in life... to reproduce. Anything that we do from that point on to interfere with that can annoy the plant. Plants in veg adapt... plants in flower react.
