Don't be afraid to prune
dear herbie - thanks for the info and pics! i've only done three grows, so i'm wondering if you can expand a bit...it looks like you pruned many, if not most, of the side branches....my dream would be -- given that i have a very small space to grow no more than 3-4 plants -- to prune off practically everything except the main cola and maybe 2-4 side branches near the top...do you do this? (it looks like you do). if you do this, at what point during flowering do you do this...you suggested around the middle of the flowering period, so I'm guessing 4 weeks in? and finally, do you cut near the base of the main stem?
looks like you prune off a whole lot of plant material. do you dry it out and make butter / oil or something out of it?
best
jashjashbery Reviewed by jashbery on . Don't be afraid to prune Hey Everyone- I prune my plants generally up to the middle of flowering to concentrate the flowers and maximize the yield. For everyone, but especially those who top their plants it is beneficial to prune your flowers that are not going to mature to worthwhile product. Also, since light can only penetrate so deep into a canopy, lower flowers will never realize their potential and instead detract from what could have been converted into energy for viable flowers. So here are some Rating: 5
