I am growing a variety that puts out one big cola and a lot of side shoots. Usually I cut these shoots off to concentrate the energy on the central bud. I didn't have time this cycle so the plants are growing somewhat smaller center buds and a jungle of pencil-thick buds underneath. The top buds are ready to cut, but the thin buds have one to two weeks to go.
