are all the natural bud sites just as big as the main? im guessing side branches are smaller due to no training? from all my reading the trained plant should be producing even/bigger buds in the same environment..
more lights - more buds - even canopy
but then aqgain.. thats why youre testing to find out exactly which one produces!
I tested it and it works, managed to get 18 zips in two harvests off a single plant 27" tall (ThinkBig). So now I know that can be done I don't have to do it any more, and that is a blessed relief, now I'm freed up for more interesting adventures, in bud whispering.
