Right now 3 of my 4 Favorit strains grow the same way, just 1 Steam with NO side branches.(led growen)
The have good bud on them, but not like a plant with side branches.

Do you train your plants,
or do you just put more plants in your grow room


The 3 plants are;
Og kush (sweet devastating sativa pheno)
Zkittles
Amnesia core cut

I train my plants yes
sometimes I top early, and then try to keep the branches that shoot out equal in length by tying the dominant branch down lower. The higher branches will then grow more

other times, I just slowly bend down the top of the plant during the first few weeks of flower. When you do this alot of side branching pops up during the stretch period

I train my plants. I "supercrop" and LST with scrog net. I usually also top my plants two three times in the beginning of veg to keep the height down while creating a low, wide and even canopy. The earlier you cover the floor the better.

Top early veg for sides and OG Kush IME grows sort of viney

with these types of plants I would aim for the sea of green method. vegetate one big mother plant of these and fit as many clones as you can in the area to get a bunch of spear type plants with an even canopy across the grow area

you probably just have a strain that has strong apical dominance. you have to top them, sometimes more than once, to get them to branch at all. if you start early, and top each branch that you do get, they'll bush out. they load the growth tip up with hormones that make them want to keep growing. you have to get them to redistribute those hormones throughout the plant. watch closely, and if it tries to put out a new tip right where you topped it, take it off. may have to do it a couple of times.

that is an actual polyploid plant....i've never seen a real one before. whirled phylotaxy is the closest i've ever seen, although many people want to call that polyploid

I had a kiwi 2 pounder male plant that had the flat wide stalk with no branches. I still have some seeds from a chem/2 Iber cross from that male that still throws some of those plants. Stalks are flat and wide and the very top is super leafy.

i don't hate the strain hunters, but what they did was corrupt a shit load of land races with new genetics, forever losing those pure genetics for the rest of us, while corrupting any beneficial mutations and adaptations those strains had made to themselves before they could be studied and reproduced
