I'm doing two grows at the moment with so many differences between them its hard to draw any conclusions... but it is raising some questions.
Have any growers using SIPs found that with that almost exponential growth that comes when the roots hit the res, that the plants produce a ton of very thin weak branches?
I'm finding that the plants I'm growing in SIPs are making TONS very thin branches that can barely stay upright even with the support of a scrog (that they grew through during the stretch). It reminds me of "stress growth" on trees, when 'suckers' start to shoot out of the trunk. Overall the plants -- judged by the leaves -- seem healthy, its just the form they took is odd.
And the oddness became obvious in comparison, in my other tent where I'm just growing in 2 gallon cloth pots, the plants look like stout little bushes, strong stems, big fat colas, hearty -- albeit significantly smaller -- plants.
