Whats everyone use when they have a decent size young plant(say about 5 feet out) to get there secondaries to start running. I have one plant that is kinda slow growing the secondaries at this point. I used a little Miracle grow yesterday. How you think some chelated calcium 6-0-0 Green Flo would work at this point to get em going?

My 1193 Vader last year just had nubs for secondaries until the main was at least 10 ft out.

Genetics & timing. Secondaries form usually between 4 & 12 feet. Our 845 Bobier has secondaries at 6 feet. I've seen some plants such as the 805 Pukos wait until 12'. But even this varies from plant to plant.
