Problems back
a while back you might remember i was having an issue with my plants growing bushy rather than vertically. I stopped growing to move house and set back up. did a first run in new coco and had no problems the plants grew as normal, second run re used the coco and they've grown stunted with more side branching than you could imagine.
anyway pic tells a thousand words so here goes:
the original plants that went bushy looked like this come harvest:

The new plants, not the same cuts or even strains, these all came from seed.

at first i thought it was because I'd topped the larger ones out and lollipopped underneath but this amount of side branching just isn't right.
nutewise they've had canna A&B and a little bat guano. nothing else.
I've yet to find anyone else who's had similar issues!!?
anyone got any ideas?
I was thinking i might get a fresh bag of coco and try up potting into that but there's risk of contaminating the fresh (if the issue lies in the coco?!). these plants have been under the 600 but due to the large sativa i have in with them they've been a good 2-3 foot from the light. so they should have been stretching for the sun!?

it's doing my nut in, but i don;t know how to correct it. i'm thinking i may have to scrub the lot and start afresh, new pots, coco, plants, but i'm loathed to do that without knowing the root of the problem.
anyone even had a similar problem? i can't believe i'm the only grower to have ever had this issue
