You're going to end up with a bunch of small buds (popcorn buds). You need to decide which bud sites to keep and which to get rid of. The lower ones that don't get any light are usually removed so that energy can go to making real buds. Fan leaves are important, so you want to leave them intact as much as possible. However, if they are covering an important bud, that needs to be remedied. In descending order of preference, move it, bend it, break it but leave it, or remove it.

A small bushy plant is probably an indica variety, and a tall skinny one is probably a sativa variety. In general people say that indicas are more potent. Both can be trained to do what you want. It is basically a bad idea to just let a plant go wild and do whatever it wants, just for the reason that we don't want it ending up like yours.

I highly recommend the use of a screen, and for your light you ought to go one step farther and make a stadium screen. Here's one of my old stadium grows: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...questions.html

Search these to find out more ways to control your weed plant:

- LST (low stress training)
- FIM (fuck I missed)
- topping
- scrog

Done properly, these methods could add another 25-50% to your yield as opposed to what you are doing now.

I would watch that one carefully that's getting close to the light. It looks like the first thing to go would be that nice big cola.

The good news is: Those plants look nice and healthy, and soon you're going to be able to smoke them. Nice work.
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . Do the flowers need light too? I have two plants going that were in a cabinet and now I have taken them out and put them in the closet. One of the plants I have (unknown strain) has always been vertically challenged but has grown like a bush and is very wide and full. The problem is its so full that not all the flowers get good light, and I know I have asked this before but should I prune any for the the flowers to get more light? It just seems that I have so many leaves and flowers, but when is enough leaves enough and the Rating: 5
