Vegetative pruning...snip the baby..whatever...

[BlueDevil]

Ok, not sure how to phrase this (and yes I did do a search - just didn't find anything informative).

Anyway, my question has to do with newborns - specifically the issue of snipping seedlings in order to get them to divide. I was told that you should wait until after the 3rd set of branches have formed before snipping. But now I just heard from a friend that he never does that and just lets the plant grow as it would in the wild.

My question is if I intend to give the ScroG method a shot, at what point should I snip the little buggers, or should I not snip at all and just make sure it all stays under the screen?


thx guys n gals...

depends ... some strains like 'topping', more than others ... my Northern Lights love it, but the White Widow and Killa Queen seedlings I am presently growing, may not get the knife, I will wait it out awhile, see what they branch like ... :smokin:

Topping! Aha!


See, I learn something everytime I load this site. Now to do some searches with that actual word...
