i'm fairly certain it's because i vegged in the autopots. it did something weird to the plants made the node distance supertight. and livers is a fucking bushy plant to begin with. honestly its just one big clump of leaf and popcorn for the most part. the bigger nugs that can get the light are now going moldy. vegging in them is the only variable i changed. my mate uk greek unhooked his lines from the res and vegged naturally but in the pots has the exact same cuts and his have grown normal.
lesson learned. the hard way. again
cost me a fortune in lost bud. was doing some maths last night i have 11 girls some will pull me 2 and some will pull 4-5 so i reckon i'll hit 30-33. and as a back up plan i put half a dozen kush in 3 weeks later
