hey, im a first time grower and new to this site. i'm currently in the second week of flowering. im growing by basic hydro using a 400w sodium and have five plants. all indica, strain unknown as yet. they have just sprouted flowers and i was wondering that if by pruning these off it will improve potency, yield and size. and does this affect the number of flowers after they revive and come back???? Peace

Howdy OD,

You do NOT want to prune the flowers..they are your harvest ! Not to be taken-until ripe ! The only thing you may want to prune,are the old and excess fan leaves,both for balance and to allow light to git to the flowers..you can prune individual leaves-in order for light to penetrate. You should only prune as little as possible anyhow,because everytime you do-you are shocking the plants..and it takes time for them to recover and extends your growing time.

You should nurture all the flowers and treat them well. If ya pull all the green peaches off the tree-they won't come back until next year.

Have a good one....Torog

Howdy OD,

10-4 on patience being a virtue ! lol It ain't easy..but I find that I git very attached to my 'girls' and taking anything from them-is painful and hard to do..lol. I'm proud of em,when they do good and outraged,as only a father or mother can be,when their 'children' are attacked by predators or when they fall ill..I have literally stood between my darlins and my girlfriend,in order to protect them,from her hungry gaze and sharp scissors..lol.

Harvest is painful..and I regard their fruits with the greatest of respect and honor..as one who's cherished them so.

Have a good one...Torog

your using a sodium light? Is that really good for growing at all?

[Original Daze]

well it appears to be working. i had the option of a halide lamp but truth is it was more money!!
i've got a bud using a 400 pressure Halide and pretty much the same grow space n setup n it is pretty much at the same stage as mine, although he decided to flower earlier to get the xmas harvest.
all in all it is fine, but fuck my room is Roastin@ the mo!
