doesnt bud size decrease the more colas you got? when you snip the top? like anything over 8 colas? you aint gunna end up mutiple buds the size of the main fucker. should be sound we the vertical lightin standed an them bottom buds wouldnt fatten up not if they ended up 7ft + like they will with out the trainin.
No. Depending on the shape of the plant you CAN get multiple buds the size of the main one (according to the genetic potential of the plant of course),that's the whole point.
This is a perfect example of apical dominance and IAA distibution (my old Skunk #1).
If I remove the apical tip in section
A then the majority of IAA production will be distributed across the tips in section
B, making those buds just as big as the main one in section
A had it not been removed. Then the buds further down the rest of the plant will grow to the relevant size,if I make the plant completely flat like in SCROG then IAA is evenly distributed throughout ALL tips producing buds as big as the main one according to the amount of light used and the genetic potential of the plant.
It's misconception that SCROG works because of even light spread and is the biggest forum myth ever!
Biologists have known about the role of auxins since the 30's and I still don't understand why people on forums still regurgitate the same old crap over and over,it doesn't help anybody learn.
The definitive work on plant hormones if anybody cares to study it.
