You use whatever means will get you the most material for cuttings.

Sorry, I aint into the romance and silly drills normally associated with curing.

Bueno bye

3 babes up out of 4 sowed. They get full sun today if it isn't too windy. We have a cold front moving in.

YEah, Woomiester is right. But if you have a really big plant, you might want to harvest your cola nugs first and then wait a week while the others catch up w/ the added sunlight. Harvest based on trichromes, not hairs.

If u cut THE 5th node i will get a bushy plant ?

Any update on if this works with auto-flowering strains? i just started my second grow and wanted to give it a try. Thanks!

you can bend the main stem and tie it off so it grows sideways. I did that and got alot more yield than I would have if I left it growing vertically.
