I take any branches or bud sites that won't make it above the screen. I do not trim any leaves. The nutrients stored get used by the plant later. They are the first to yellow. I leave them until they fall of their own accord.

Removal of unproductive growth debate I just wanna hear different peoples opinions on the removal of unproductive growth from plants as far as when to remove it and if you even remove it at all. Basically I'm just talking about removing random small shoots that don't get much light and wouldn't produce much at all for buds and don't grow well enough to use as a clone. Some say don't remove anything, some say remove it so your plants aren't wasting energy trying to grow weak branches. Please reply with your thoughts on the Rating: 5
