pruning during flowering?

[denialisback]

anyone have any input, or first hand knowlege on trimming off bottom 1/3 of plants 6 weeks into bud, to increase airflow and increase top bud size?Wondering if it will affect or stunt plants?

well, the reason why the fan leaves at the bottom of a plant go yellow or start to die is usually because the budding plants tops are drawing the nutrients, (because the flowers are more important to the plant), aka the top cola of the plant.

Removing leaves from the bottom theoretically eradicates the amount of nutrients that can be pulled from the plants lower leaves.. but if those leaves didn't get a lot of light anyway, the air flow could be worth it..
