Lightbulb Trimming, Not Topping, Autoflowering Strains
permalink
I have looked all over the forum but have yet to find a straight answer for my question. I know it's a bad idea to top, fim, and clone autoflowers because they mature with age rather than via photosynthesis.

Check my sig journal for more info on my grow if needed. I have four female automatic AK47 plants, and they are getting pretty damn bushy.

Will trimming the lower leaves help me or hurt me?

Will it stress the plant like topping it, resulting in stunted growth?

or

Will trimming the lower leaves increase the nute flow to the budsites and main colas?

I posted one of my journal pics to show what I'm talking about. Any knowledgeable advice is most appreciated and rewarded with rep. Thanks!

I was under the impression that the lower limbs block the nutrient flow to the budsites. Isn't that why people lollipop? I've read it over and over, but not about autoflowers... Is that not right?

I'm not cloning. You can't clone autoflowers. The first post specifically says that.

I probably won't lollipop these, but I'm starting some auto White Russians soon, and I might lollipop them. Keep an eye on my journals.

lollipoping is done to give allthe nute, and energy tothe upper bud sites. and thining or trimming is done so that the light can penetrate threw the plant to the inner and lowwerbuds tomake for a better yield. and nicer buds.
