Some Colas not fattening.

[Rollingstones]

Some of these buds are not fattening.

I think I know the problem here just looking for confirmation and possible case of action if possible.

Jack Herer in Hydro
Current EC 1.2
Currently in day 62 of 12/12 following 8 weeks in veg.
Plants were topped in veg.

These guys got super stretchy in early flower they almost trebled in height and left very little space in the tent.

Around day 25 of flower I was forced to super crop these and with a combination of bending and tying was able to keep them down a bit.

When plants were tied down they seemed to generate more bud sites.

Some of my stalks are coming of secondary stems.
Perhaps these are taking too much food from the main stem.

I think my canopy is too dense.

I do also have a good number of colas that look and feel decent. I think they might be 2 or 3 weeks away.

What light have you been using and what?s ya environment like. These 2 elements will be key here.

over crowded due to the training/topping/cropping - lack of light also perhaps
very dark leaves in mid/late flower so nitrogen is inhibiting them from fully developing


was she monster cropped mate?

My light is 600w hps
And I'm lights off 20c lights on 22 to 24c

600w is good, how large is the area?
they'll cover 1.2x1.2 ideally

with 50-60 branches/tops it's just too many for 1 plant to feed/swell every single one unfortunately for us all

Your thoughts are along what I was thinking.
I definitely think it's overcrowded.

Did I monstercrop?
I believe I did but not intentionally.
I few weeks back I trimmed off lower growth could this have triggered more growth?
Definitely got new buds really far down the plant.

They are getting very little nitrogen the last 2 weeks.

Thanks guys

Your expertise has confirmed my thoughts.

I will run thes out and use the large colas for smoke and use the rest making some edibles.

There are no other options at this stage?

plants can only supply so much before it's totally overloaded,

when you chop/top the auxins spread to every single branch and you get all those side branches/shoots everywhere
all they do is sap the food away from the main tops, that's why people lolipop

i understand the idea ''more branches - more buds'' but there is a ceiling to that
when u hit 16/32 branches she just can't feed them all

id cut away alot of the scruff and hope she simply diverts the food and swells up,
monster cropping has it's down side also im afraid, uncontrollable branching
