weedmaster I completely agree with you that the plant will direct its energy to injured areas etc....slowing main growth .I don't know that for a fact either, but like you I believe it to be true personally. I don't know enough about soil to say whether day 28 is "near the end" of flowering or not....it wouldn't be in hydro but I just don't know enough about soil growing to say ..... I don't like the weird look of that bud there....maybe it's having a bad day or something but I'd certainly like to hear Stinky or someone say that instead of me.
And mj.....I'd definitely check your ph.
