36 days of VEG and now been 3 days that she's into flowering under 240W CFL. I just tied down the main colas last night again cuz she's getting taller and almost out of control. As u can see I don't have much space, is there any suggestion for pruning her and keeping the LST training up for two more weeks or so ?
should I trim any fan leaf off the plant if they're covering they bud sites ? Isn't that gonna shock her or take too much energy from her ?

Thanks in advance :)

Don't really wanna top her again, I heard that it reduces potency and things like that and i dont really wanna interrupt and re-veg. So u say I need to cut em ALL ? aint that gonna shock her ? :(

Not really many and myself have topped all tops , it would be the same for cloning , yes it will shock her into growing shoots out the sides of where you cut. Also giving a week if that for recovery and another for growth , then remove you pots / risers put a piece of foam or blanket to get insulation between your floor and the bottom of your pot.

And or skip the topping and just flip now and slower as she stretches lower her if needed.

Is it necessary to cut ANY leaf that is covering up a bud site ? Should I do it now even though she's already in flowering for 3 days ?

Yeah I misread , I wouldn't top in flowering and if this is your first grow indoors or whatever I would keep it simple and learn , main thing that will help is air circulation and possibly get desktop fan on ground shooting upwards.

And no with an abundance of leaves like you have there , lack of light penetration and the size of your area I would pick and choose , look for the big fans leaves in the center of the plant most likely not expanding outwards grabbing light but crammed up in tight space and remove a couple a day or so.

Its all a learning experience just make sure your not to baked to remember!

this is my second grow and i posted a thread before about it i literally fucked up that one by butchering her and getting all the energy from her cuz i just "thought" that better light penetration... bigger yield haha
actually so far I only trimmed like 4 fan leaves that were attached to the main stem and i was really paranoid not to get the same result as last time... so Im gonna go trim a few leaves now before i sleep just to make sure she'll get better light on the bud sites...

btw what about these ? lemme give u another perspective of the plant looks like...

i trim all fan leaves, it helps with temps and humidity issues. i have a small box also.

This is how i fucked up last time :D not much yield and last week of flowering all the trichomes were reafy to harvest under the microscope. So i got small ass "buds" and I should also note that i worked with only 90W CFL :D
anyhow this is how it was before harvesting and the other picture that is outta the grow box is right before harvest

Your most likely making the same mistakes as most new comers just get started , Not enough light , not enough ventilation , cutting way to early , and the biggest , experience. Its good to start from the bottom sucks in yield and time but you will be more refined as you grow yourself in this wonderful hobby/meds/fuck you dealers.

Money saved is money earned.

Hahaha true...
lets see what's gonna bring this time...
this is pretty much all i could do with this little ass box like I said this time i have 240W on her hopefully that'll give me some good result, uh let's not forget about dear advanced nutrients which I'm feeding her ;)
