Each time a growing tip is clipped, the stem branches into two shoots, which begin to grow from the nearest leaf axils.

Pruning a growing marijuana plant is an easy way of controlling uneven growth without seriously harming the plant.

Don't prune the growing tip of a young seedling until after the first five-bladed leaves have formed, and the vegetative stage has begun.

Many growers prune the growing tips after four to five weeks growth to develop lower branches which will quickly fill all the horizontal space.

The greatest potency of the growing plant is found in the growing tips, and by three months, they should make a high quality smoke.

You can basically prune growing tips at any stage of the plant's development, but just don't overdo it.

Severe pruning can harm the growth of the plant.

It is always better to plan a pruning strategy for your developing plants, rather than haphazardly clipping off growing tips on an irregular basis.

Each time a growing tip is removed, the plant takes a few days to recover before new growth resumes on that branch.

The amount of new growth formed with continued pruning is limited by the genetic structure of the seed, and the conditions of the environment.

It is better to prune your plants at an early stage of their development, than towards the end of the vegetative stage or during flowering.

I don't like to prune my plants, because I feel that it causes unnecessary stress to the plants. The decision is ultimately yours...but have you ever given much thought to low-stress training?

Is the plant flowering... Or is it still in veg...
If the plant is flowering do not cut it back.
If it is still in veg.. or flower... you could tie it down...
and if the plant is in veg and is becoming a to big you may want to flower it soon.

I would say bend it over and tie it down but not on the bud sites that works for me but its just a thought you should try lst next time it worked great for me i did some funky stuff it looks like a spiral staircase but it did save me alot of room!!!!

Thanks for the citation Jimmybones.

I also am a big fan of string training. Tie the plant over horizontally- GENTLY, using soft yarn- and the side nodes will develop better too.

Don't tie the tip lower than any other node though unless you really want to switch apical dominance.

yea but wat do fools kno
