Pruning advice please? (see attached pic)

Am wondering if I should be pruning the plant in the pic? I took away some of the lower foliage (ie leaves) but should I be removing more or leaving it as it is now? Currently just entered flowering period (ie 12/12) not much flowering as yet though.

Would really appreciate some advice from the pro's on here:)

Thanks

if u want to clone it u could clone that big stretch at the top.
then those secoundary growths would become kolas

Hi hotchi thanks for info. Am thinking of cloning it also. Am quite new to this what is a "kola"? Is it a bud?:o

its the bud that comes from the main growth. not the secoundary that comes from between the leave stem and main stem.

if u cut the stem, about 1 inch about the node. then take the part that u cut off and make a 45 degree angle. then do all the cloning stuff.:thumbsup:

Excellent thanks for taking the time to show me:thumbsup:

I'm still not sure what sex the plants are yet - the one in the pic is hopefully female. Waiting for the signs! As soon as I can be sure will clone it (dont have enough room for separate veg/flower areas at the moment)

Nice info there Hotchi

Cutting side growth will make the plant what to grow taller, while cutting top growth will make it want to grow shorter. If you want a fat bud then don't clone the top. If you want 2,3,4, etc. top smaller sized buds then clone the top.

DO NOT TRIM LEAVES unless they are completely dead or naturally fall off. Leaves are need by the plant to produce energy. If you want to alter the growth pattern or shape the plant then trim suckers (the lower buds) or the top, NEVER leaves.

Ooops:( already trimmed a few of the lowest leaves. I'll leave them be now!

As soon as I can definitely see their sex (I have five on the go) I will start cloning the females.

Thanks again for your learned advice:thumbsup:
