Yea definitly did a NO NO and am hating life right now. I tried pruning my plants and cut perfectly good leaves off, i read up on greenmanspage and he says never to cut perfect leaves off, but i just saw sooo much growth beneth them and noticed the new growth was not getting any light so i decided to trim off Some leaves. the thing is my plants look great right now they are just compleltly stunted and havent changed for the past 5 days im very worried and hopfully time will tell.

yeah i trimmed alot of my leaves off of my 3 plants because im in 3 weeks to flowering and and i only got 4 weeks to go maybe less the way theyre looking right now. so i trimmed off hella leaves. so the lower buds will be getting light so they can form. i dont care if my plants stunt theyre already
over 1 meter= 39.35in theyre proably about 42inches right now. so purtty lol


peace

that far into flower it's not the plant that will stunt it's the buds. but carry on.

yup i said the same on your journal. They are probably fine. I try to prune over time. AT MOST less than 1/3 of mature leaves over all. If you need to cut 8 leaves do it over 4 days to help reduce stress.

i laugh out loud.

Hey cheeto, dont worry too much , i am going through the same issues right now, there is alot of controverse over pruning / i prunned during veg and a little while flowering now I do see the affeact of prunning during Veg but i was limited on space and money, and of course knowledge. I have some good tops but if i had not of prunned i would have longer colas, but they still look good
