thanks man. first attempt, just worked with what she gave me. started early and kept it as low i could, and crossed my fingers lol. on thing i did learn on this though, is i can see a major difference in cola size depending on how many lower branches were removed. i removed all but the top cola on a couple, and left up to 6 lower branches on other colas to see the difference. the ones with no lowers are looking like they will form one giant cola, and the ones with lowers may not fill in completely. i'll try to get pics of that tomorrow with day 35 updatedamn impressive job of mainlining. you wouldn't beleive the number of branches i've torn off my girls trying to get that 90 degree turn. i work in an emergency dept so i used some casting tape to make a cast for a partially torn branch. the other side if the mainline was to torn to saveView attachment 683889
I bet you could of saved it! I split a main branch down the middle. I had topped it and then was mainlining it out to each side and got a lil aggressive and she split. I duct taped it back up with reflective ducting tape.. Lol all i had close by!..It was literally laying on the floor, hanging by a thread! Anyway taped it up and used bread ties to secure it and still used yoyo's to get my mainline going... I did lose a couple fans as it healed... About 3 weeks later i took it off and it had a knuckle you would of needed a chain saw to get thru...damn impressive job of mainlining. you wouldn't beleive the number of branches i've torn off my girls trying to get that 90 degree turn. i work in an emergency dept so i used some casting tape to make a cast for a partially torn branch. the other side if the mainline was to torn to saveView attachment 683889
Please elaborate and post some pics of your findings... Btw i totally agree with your conclusion, im just eager to see the pics, and i like discussions such as these..thanks man. first attempt, just worked with what she gave me. started early and kept it as low i could, and crossed my fingers lol. on thing i did learn on this though, is i can see a major difference in cola size depending on how many lower branches were removed. i removed all but the top cola on a couple, and left up to 6 lower branches on other colas to see the difference. the ones with no lowers are looking like they will form one giant cola, and the ones with lowers may not fill in completely. i'll try to get pics of that tomorrow with day 35 update
how does bending the branch increase bud size?
No i understand cropping, i do it all the time. And i understand the canopy, but the wide funnel analogy i have never heard.Great question, here is a link that will assist you in stressing your plant to obtain higher yields. The bent branch will open up into a large "knuckle", literally creating a wide funnel to the foilage, buds etc on the other side. This also opens your canopy, so that the lower center branches can reach the main canopy level.

Day 49 Agent Orange
She's just crusing along filling in here and there. I definitely overfed her and gave too much light in early flower, that was my problem. The only deficiency I had was in experience, but I learned a lot with this grow. So, in that sense, its all good. Looks like I will have about 263 million seeds, so that sucks, but the nugs are sticky and dense and smell delicious! The best looking nugs are towards the bottom actually, go figure
I expect to chop her down in about 2 weeks. Just waiting for the hairs to crawl back into the calyx's and some amber trich's. Lotta clear still. She seems happy around .8-.9 EC, so im just leaving it there until i flush next weekend for a couple days with final phase and ph'd ro. then finish off with .3EC sugar daddy. on to the next!
