First of all before you start :flaming1: flaming me that this has been debated countless of times before and posted in several posts, I will state the reasons I started a new thread:

  • Didn't want to highjack someone else's thread or resurrect an old one.
  • It's not about the general concept of trimming but of specific branches on a specific strain.
  • I have valid info from a trusted source to backup the claim that it may be needed and beneficial after all.


This is regarding Green House Seeds Hawaiian Snow strain. According to this video, YouTube - Green House Seed Hawaiian Snow Grow with Japanese Subtitles done by the founder of Green House Seeds himself that created the strain in the first place, before switching to flowering they trim off the bottom branches to allow better airflow and also push all the power of the plant to the top into the colas. Or at least that's what they say at around 02:30 into the video. I mean, if THEY do it, shouldn't they know better? Just plain common sense I guess... or maybe not? :wtf:

I am going to do it anyway to half my plants and compare results at the end with the rest but I would like some constructive discussion/debate on the matter nevertheless. Any thoughts?

PS. Check my profile for my album/log. This is my first grow btw that's why I want to experiment a little with them. If they do make it through that is and I don't end up killing em.

Peace :hippy:
