Seeing you lop off all that on some really nice looking plants makes me have a little more faith in my decision to cut off just a little a week ago. I hope yours turns out to be a good decision, because that will answer my question with proven results. It would be great to get a few updates. I'm heading into the end of week 3 now(day 18 ), and finally starting to see some great results. Alot of the lower branches with popcorn buds on them are starting to die off. So if this works as well as we all hope, I'll jump on that idea and get rid of a few more branches/fan leaves.
