Whats the simpliest thing you van do to get bigger buds
Veg longer, for bigger roots....
Once in Flower.... I have found, there is nothing, in a side by side tests, that really helps your plants get bigger...
Genetics.... you can not out grow what your plant is pre determined to grow to...
...
Well, maybe add more light in Bloom... [too late for more time in Veg]
I grow the same plant/clone of clone every time...
I have noticed, that my yield will be almost exactly the same, every time...
It doesn't matter if I have LST/Fim'ed/ etc... big bloom, nutes... the same...
Now others may have a different opinion, however, you are in Bud... Cutting now of bud sites, seems counter productive... Doesn't it?
What are your plants saying?
