I'm stoned and dont mind answering if your lazy and dont wanna look. Theres a bunch of ways to do it but to each their own... I have two methods that work nicely. To answer your question though, it depends on how you harvest. You can sit there and prune away ALL budsites from teh plant and cut it back some then revert to 24/0 and save your plant... it takes awhile but your plants usually donot bloom quite as large as the orig. (this is information ive read in grow bible books - i personally have never done it.) And no, you snip stems and clip away.

Imma do this as a 3 part post for pic reasons... this being first post
