have large outdoor plants,4 weeks into flowering, on bottom and inside are small to tiny limbs and buds, is ok to remove them to try and send more to large flowers, just not sure if this is ok, if they were younger or not in flower i wouldn't be concerned, figured someone would know or has tried this

thank you for any help

you can remove all that unwanted growth, more energy and nutes will go to remaining material. i do this at times, just feels like wasted energy on tiny unwanted twigs.

just remember if you remove more than 10 to 20 percent of the plat it may go into shock and take time to recover. sometimes its best to leave her alon and let her do her thing but you can cut them to boost cola groth

there is not that much i want to remove, just real tiny flowers and a couple little limbs, just wasn't sure if i could do it without hurting plant or larger flowers, would much rather have nutes going to big flowers than little tiny ones, thank you for reply

that is the way i was thinking also, send it to big flowers,they are about 16-18 "s long and 2"s across rigth now, look really healthy, will post some pics soon,will look you up when i do, thank you for reply

Yeah, it's a tough one.
Just remember, flowering cannabis usually drains nutrients from bottom vegetation toward the end.
I've read many trim the bottom 3rd of the entire plant(s) later in veg.

so you are saying that towards end of flowering, that lower and smaller branches and flowers help supply nutrients to upper flowers, i have never read or heard that before, interesting, would like to learn more about this,
thank you for reply

As I understand things, this ^^^^ would account for the yellowing and necrosis later in flowering.

yeah mine are yellowing now. brings up another question...remove the yellowing ones because they are drained, and sapping nutes that would be going to the buds? i think as long as your not cutting a ton off your good, ive never had problems with removal of small twigs. or even drained fan leaves. i dont cut alot though either...

doesnt a bit of stress produce more resin? seems to me it does, very frosty early on in flower, like gumdrops.
