alright make this short...i got a outdoor going...its 5 weeks into flowering...looks like its going 2 need more then 8...anyone know anyways to speed that bitch up?
I got a few ideas that have been passed down the grapevine.
One ? what's the height of your plant(s)?
What you gotta do is something called "splitting"
let's say u have a plant like this
>|< <~~~~ you wanna split or pinch, the leaves that sprout upwards, be4
|
there was ever even fan leaves, but dont pull off the WHOLE leaf, just grab the two leaves then pinch off from the top of the leaf, about 70% of the top leaf sprouts usually after the 2-3rd cola. Not sure, if it's possible right now, but you might be able to split at that stage now. What this does is causes your plant to grow upwards taller, as well as creates four different directions buds will come out instead of two. I believe, you pinch it again later on, and you get up to 6-8 colas.. Not sure, I've been growing out internediately for about 4 years
Better for you to do though:
At your state, you might want to try "bud topping". This will bush your plant outwards, causing a wide plant with big bushy buds. I split each of my 9 or so plants atleast 2-3 times, but transplanted them into soil too late, so they only got about 1 foot or so tall... So I topped them to atleast get them bushy at that low height.
Grab some sharp scissors, and find the top bud on your plant, the highest one up, and look for its stem below.. Trim all the tops of your plants off now (dry, and even cure for tast sample as throwing away is kind of pointless, unless your bud is REALLY unripe), and let it continue flowering for your month or so.
Pictures may also help here too!!!
