I am an outdoor grower and last year I took some clones from a friend who had what he said was a indoor/outdoor strain. I had these plants on 24 hr. light and in june before I put them outside they began to bud. I have been cloning for yrs and have never had this happen. I didn't have extra plants so I put them in the ground anyway and eventually they went back to the growth stage but never got their full size. Is this common when you grow an indoor strain?

Start a new thread with more details.

LOL no doubt, that post has nothing to do with pruning even.

Wow this thread seams to have really become a flame war. Good thing I am a glutton for punishment.

I am gonna chime in on Lollipoping being a viable tool to get better quality bud. I planted 10 Northern Lights x Shiva Shanti, got 6 females and 4 males. I worked from seed no cloning. The technique I used was to remove branches, not fan leaves, from the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the plant by the second week of flower. This is an 8 week strain and I believe I vegged for 4 or 5 weeks. This strain has a height of 50 - 60 cm or 19" to 23".

I was able to produce 1 -1.3 oz colas off of each of 5 plants(1 I seeded and left au natural). Finished height was about 18" -22".

The reason for growing these small plants like this is to create good air flow under the canopy and to avoid popcorn buds that I don't like, perhaps they would be good with some converted rice?

I was taught this method by a young man who runs several 4x8 trays and has never had a reg job. Neither he nor I are botanist, or even florist for that matter, but it did seem to be a good way to roll especially if you plan to run a few hundred such plants, not that I or anyone I know would ever do such a thing.

I don't care if you don't like my way of doing things it won't offend me mostly cause my way keeps me stoned. If you do see a need to flame me well "you may eat the peanuts out of my ....".

For starts, it's not new just like the mutts you guys keep buying thinking you're getting something better than what came before - you're not. It's quite funny really, every new crop of noobs thinks they are reinventing the wheel.

It's simple botany - if you remove the very unit that manufactures food for flower production, expect your yields to suffer. If you're picking out flowers located at the lowest budsites with your finger tips, I gave you a solution.

Good luck,
UB
