How do you grow fat colas?

Nitrogen and phosphorus

The main ingredient in fertilizer, nitrogen helps plants produce sugar from water and carbon dioxide along with amino acids. Once your plant enters the flowering phase, decrease the nitrogen levels and increase the phosphorus levels to help the colas to develop and grow denser.

Should I cut off fan leaves during flowering?

Yes you should – but with the correct technique. A proper thinning will remove 20-40% of the mid to upper foliage every 5-7 days. Removing these fan leaves opens up light and produces better air exchange to the lower canopy.

Do plants need more water during flowering?

WATERING DURING THE FLOWERING PERIOD

Do bigger pots mean bigger buds?

Bigger pots does not mean bigger plants. The recommended pot size for transplanting is between 2 to 4 inches larger in diameter from the pot that the plant was planted in. This gives the roots enough space to spread and absorb more water and nutrients.
