what do you mean the stems? you mean the ones that were left behind? If so, the plant is doing awsome still, growing and growing, it has grown 5 inches since he cut it in half, but the left over buds that were growing are way different than the ones picked, these are way more dense, sticky and stinky! I am hoping to harvest next weekend, or at least cut the big buds and grow the rest till ready. who knows lol. I cant wasit to do this again next year, but next time I will do more than one out side,

PS. as for my hydro they are awsome, Snow White is wonderful, Widow warrior was superb, and I can't wait to harvest that damm OG KUSH! look for my new post in hydro for pics lol.
