As the titles asks, do the individual buds need to be in the direct light in order to grow or even reach maximum size and potency? The reason I ask is that my plant(feminized white widow) out grew her cabinet and has 8 colas that I ended up having to cross over each other to tie down and keep below the light. This as you can imagine has created a very dense center with folage and budage. Ive noticed that some colas have ran off and left others in development and interestingly enough, the one directly under the light (no heat stress visible) is one of the lesser ones. I want to think that the regular fan leaves are the ones that do all the processing to feed the buds, but then again, the leaves in the colas must have purpose as well. Does anyone know the answer to this? The way that my girl is tied down now (rawr) is convenient and the most obvious way, but she still has a solid 4 weeks to go and if its going to be a problem I had better figure something out now.

The dense center is also cutting light from getting as far into the canopy as would be normal. I do have 2 crappy 70 watt hps lamps that I could mount underneath facing up. Would this be a good idea or would it confuse the girl because the light would be hitting the bottom of the leaves instead of the tops as per natures design.
