    Question Cutting off lower branches?

    So i was wondering if I have been doing this correct.... I have been cutting off the lower sets of leaves as the (new)higher ones grow at the very top. So basically my plant is just growing into a large stem with two sets of leaves on top. Eversince i had started to do this the plant is growing much faster (i was thinking it would focus all the energy to the top when i start to bud???) Any help out there.... am I doing this right.....has anybody ever done this before?

    Thanks alot!


    ---OH yeah.... if this even works will it give me larger buds?

    Well m8 u might as well start again m8 thats not to healthy. When they say cut of the lower leafs this means like the bottom 6 so the top 30 bush out more also when its flowing u can bend the top of the plant so it forces food to the lower buds making all the leaf cutting prosess work better :>

    If u get it to bush out and manage to bend the top head of the plant so the lower buds get big then u can string the lower buds up so they all face upto the light and that will be a nice plant

    That plant can still grow u need to leave all the rest of the leafs on it get a cain/stick to hold it because u have messed up the stabilty of the plant cos the stem is to thin and long u need to stabilise it best as you can and keep your fingers crossed and deffo bend the top looks like its going to be 8 feet tall lol

    This is all IMO cos i am a noob too :>

    I would like to now if this is correct
    what is the amount of leafs u can cut off and when is the best time to cut them

    i never cut any leaves off if they're green then let them go, they are doing some work for the plant. i bend all my plants without cutting the leaves off and it makes them bushier anyways cause light can evenly hit all the plant. however if you need to cut then uyou should onyl take a few for cloning purposes. cutting the leaves off will stress the plant. the more leaves you have the bigger youll get.

    Thats got to be one of the most abused plants I've ever seen!

    Why would a plant grow something if it is bad for it?

    I think this guy has read the wrong info! Some growers cut lower branches when using the SOG method of growing. What's that other plant I see on the right side of the pic? It has at least one big leaf from what I see!

    NO MORE CUTTING! Let it grow, Let it grow, Let it grow!

    Instead of posting stuff for newbies I wish people would just give them a push in the direction of good places for newbies to start reading up on how to grow pot.

    Like this link that has already been posted to this thread?

    Ok great Idea, from now on I'll send all to How To Grow Marijuana Instead of answering or commenting on threads! Thanks you have shown me the way, and I now see the light at the end of the tunnel! Just a joke! Yes you are right, but one problem with that, and that is trying to get them to go there instead of making tons of posts..
