Having an oudoor plant, is it ok to keep pruning/trimming my plant even though its getting close to the flowering stage? Or will it cause the plant to delay it's flowering process? I've heard the plants go from veg to flower at the end of July.

what IS pruning?
Because I'm growing in my yard, I have to keep my plant hidden behind a makeshift barrier. I topped it awhile back to keep it low and it got bushier. Some of the branches get long so I trim or top them which has in turn made the plant even bushier. Hopefully, I'm not hurting the plant in the long run.
topping shouldn't hurt the plant in the long run.. but what IS pruning?? what does it do?
try bending them. works great, i dont cut plants anymore slows down the growth. r
that plant kept peeking over the 7ft fence so i just kept bending her branches over & viola! r
I like your name name. Old school and it show's your age, kind of like E-Ticket ride.....lolQuote:

You keep cutting them and the temperature rises again. Notice the cycle?
The plant is forced into repair mode and that takes energy away from producing THC. Use LST method to bend the plant and keep it low and out of site if you need to.
tripruss....
I LOVE YOUR PIC!
Just love it. Everytime I see it...
Thats one fat ass plant you've got there, very impressive :D
Thanks Zandor, I guess the term lid is gone like the laughing pot of the old days! The only reason I keep trimming the plant is because I have to keep it mobile in case someone comes over I have to move it from point A to point B. So I have to keep it somewhat condensed. Thats the price I pay for growing in my yard. Thanks again for the replies.
I wonder how many members even know what a 4 finger lid was? lolQuote:

Now that wasnt very nice.....and for the record, I still measure my bags with my fingers.LOL! BTW, Im only 25 and know what a Lid is....sorry bout changing the subject zandor, but that is a nice friggin tree...my god!
A 4 finger bag was not really an ounce it was just how much weed you can fit in a baggie that was 4 fingers high. Panama Red was some of the best you could get in those day's even better then Acapulco gold and it sold for about 25 a bag.Quote:

Now you know why frisbee's were so popular in the 60's & 70's. lol
