I've trimmed within' a week of going into flower.. Never had a stripped girl in a grow! Sounds like fun,for sure! I'm with CGI... I'd try it.. It would be shorter but bushy.. What strain is the one he stripped? Thats gonna have alot to do with the results.. Cool concept!

If you take lower growth away.. The energy is forced to the top portion of the plant..You take tops from the top of the plant it gets bushy.. Weird how the constuction of a plant and it's energy,works..Just the opposite in this case.
