since i have pruned my plants my colas on my big plant has gotten 2 x as fat as it was for i prumed also im only 3wks into flowering but the flower sites are really looking good. theyre sticky icky icky.


peace

Ive been prunning this bitch for a couple weeks and it just keeps getting thicker and bushier , i dont know the strain but ive never seen a plant quite like this , lots of retarded leaves and just 4 weeks old

As Godkas already said "In the wild, plants are constantly being attacked by insects and animals. I believe that pruning helps promote strong healthy plants and grazing is the way its done in the wild." not to mention huge rain falls, strong winds and so fourth. Plants take a beating outside.
I dont think high times would publish something in an attempt to have you kill your plants, nor do I think this is a debate that will ever be over. Its like the lighting debate, some will always think one way, and others will think the other. I like to cut leaves as I near my harvest date, if lighting is a problem. Which it usually is.
Peace

well im very happy with the rate im going at right now and hopfully after this weekend i will start flowering. I think thats the whole point to growing cannabis each grower has his own unique techniques and without that everyone would have the same plants, i love trying new things but with some insight from other. I will post new pics next week

im on week 3 of flowering and i've been pruning my plant since it reach 18-20 Inches. I NEVER remove perfectly good leaves, only ones that are showing signs of dying. I.E : brown curled tips, yellow leaves, crunches to dust in your fingers. Check it out, pictures in my journal

look maybe you all do something different but when mine are at 6 inches, i pinch the top /right under the first node the pinch is no more than me taking two fingers (thumb and index ) and squeeze it til it gives a little.this does alot 1. the top slows down and the lower branches come out , then it swells where i pinched it and from there down it gets fatter and this allows more nutrients to the top next time i do this is at 1 foot and ill see the lower branches will be half way up to the top this last time makes all the lower branches catch up to the top and now ill have 8 to 16 tops
