Too many shoots!

Using GH nutrients in soil with a 100 watt light board. Switched to a couple high output flourescents and no change. Lightened up on the FloraNova Grow last couple applications thinking that was it.

What exactly is your issue?
The plant looks great.

There are an insane amount of little side branches coming off of every branch

And that's a problem why?

Some strains just do that, trim them off.

Plant looks great to me . When you flower it and it stretches it's very likely to be solid top to bottom buds . What strain is it . I'd definitely clone that before flowering , it could be special .

I dont know the strain, it came out of a joint from a guy that is VERY picky about the quality of weed he smokes. Quality being relative of course but but he likes good weed and I think your possibly correct. One in a slim chance I find a seed like this, AND that it popped. The J was half smoked

Lololol...I dont fuckin know...annoying i guess? Maybe im looking at it wrong? Every internodal space has a knew branch, gotta keep taking off leaves so the lowers get light.

"too many leaves"

!

Like Pink Floyd says "Grower, leave them leaves alone!"

Bud sites at the bottom of the canopy will never reach an appreciable size. You can remove leaves to get them more light, which helps them mature, but the further a bud is from the top of the plant the smaller is will tend to be because there's less growth hormone available to increase the size of the bud. The buds at the top of the plant will be the largest because those buds are the ones that will tend to ensure that the species survives.

The best thing you can do to get more light to the buds on your plants is turn up the PPFD. If you're not at 800-1k µmol, you're just "Stomping out the piss ants and letting the elephants run wild."

Every 50µmol below the light saturation point (800-1000µmol in ambient CO2), causes a drop in yield of about 5% of your crop and you cannot make up for low light levels in veg by raising light levels in flower. Start lotsa light early and you won't give a s*it about the larf under the canopy.

Typical grow for me (and the last time I will ever grow two plants in my tent). Broke off two of Donna's branches and still got 14.1 ounces.
