:thumbsup:which works better? I'm looking to start flowering when they reach the 24" mark, give or take an inch. I want to make sure to maximize my harvest, so I'd like to get them flowered to about 48" and bushy as all get out... So I guess what you're saying is I should "pinch" in one way or the other about a week out from the flowering switch, but which one is the best way. Keep in mind although I've consumed a truckload of bud, this is my first grow, and I just want to get everything the best I can for what I'm working with. Thanks again.
