I have this plant

[4maggio]

20 years and it looks like no other I've ever seen. I'm not saying I've seen them all but this plant confuses me.
It is Cheese from The Original Big Buddha Family Farms. I've grow a lot of 'Cheeses' BB the most. But this girl is different.. for me anyway. I did not take the early seedling picture, I wish I had but nooo, I had to use it as a clone cut that failed anyway.
I suk at photography but this is what you get. You're seeing picks of the topped seed plant. After topping branches did appear but all are leaf and bracts up and down all branches. Even seeing her in person it's hard to tell where leaves start an potental bud sites begin . Am I over thinking this one?

Until it was topped it was just a single stalk no branches.

Looks vigorous and healthy. Report back with some flower pics if you have time

Don't know if I'm gonna run her. The denseness, while here in early veg, kinda makes me think/worry, 'mold' during late bloom. She's now only under only a 5 bulb, 2 foot T5 fixture. What kind of a jungle could she inspire under the LED?

my guess is that your t5 is 865 in the blue spectrum which promotes compact growth. she will stretch under the led light and become a monster

Thanks for the response aCBD. Yes, 4 blue bulbs one red but I've used this T5 configuration for years for seedlings and early veg. The density of foliage from stalk to branch tip of every branch is ??? density I've never seen before.. Don't get me wrong, I hope your spot on with the LED > stretch. .. If I run her..

if you have another red bulb laying around you can test her response.
pulling some of the big fan leaves before flowering phase will definitely help too. looking forward to see pictures of her rising in flower.. if you run her

If I run her..

i hope you do ! i'd like to see what that would turn into. a four foot long bud maybe? dang...

Are you're saying put another red T5 in place will provoke more 'growth/bloomish' reviling her potential structure? I'll give it a go. And.. "pulling some big fan leaves"? they're all the same size now, there aren't any that are bigger like a usual plant would produce. And AOH.. "4 foot long bud" that's part of what I'm thinking and I do not have the head room for that. I have about 5-6 weeks before another start.

yes, that's what i mean
those are some of the leaves i would cut to get more light to the branches.

Deleted BS

Before and after trimmin'

 

[aCBD]
