i wait longer on veg cause thast when your Main root groth is forming so i think it causes bugger thicker buds. Personaly that plant looks small =/... From my experiences i have grown like that also i feel the plant has Bigger buds and more when you allow the plant to turn into a Teenager i call em Seems to me if you had veged that plant more like tell it was 3 feet or more would it of shot up like that? ( form what i have seen a plant only does the crazy groth when you try and bud them to small the plant thinks it would not get enouf sunlight and thus shot up like it was contending with other plants for light) From my Exp i have seen your roots at the 12/12 transfer decide everything higth and bud size and that pic would prove my theory because from my exp if you had let her turn teenager and a better root hold she would of been 2X's thicker Buds ..... Whats your option ? (my shit is allways like 7foot tall if held up but shits hanging around 5 foot due to buds weight) But i also grow hella crazy i Trellis my stuff like a Grape vine im getting about 5+oz per plant in hydryton with a water ring with the bubbler in tubes each unit is a bucket (copy of the drip ring working off of the air pumps)
