You are so correct and its a shame your grow thread has so many non related posts that detract from the importance of what you experienced.

It might make people not wanna read.

I will tell MB to cut down on the non tomato growing convo

When you are finished, it would be sweet to rewrite a post and show the pics of everything and the stages in maybe 2 or 3 pages instead of ...12 now...and what will prolly wind up at 20

NO buds will come close to the main kolas you have growing in terms of size or girth...but you will see a lot more to harvest as a result.

And yes, you are correct in that veg stage is so important as it really sets the frame work for the flower period.

Most excellent grow there 9ski......

You arent gonna beat up your dad are you
