So here is my big question. when is pruning no longer helping my plants?? I have 3 plants on the go, 4x6x8 room, one 600 watt HID MH bulb, hydroponic recirculation program with General hydroponics Nutrients. I am experimenting with different pruning techniques. One plant I am trying to get very branchy (lots of topping) one i am trying to prune away most of the lateral growth, and the other I am trying to keep shorter, get 5 main colons, then top and prune away all lateral growth past the first bud sites. I started my flowering light cycle about one week ago. How long can I keep this up before i'm doing more harm than good. I usually prune only a bit at a time to let my plants recover. If i'm topping 2-3 weeks into the flowering stage, will i just be wasting a good bud site???
