Thank you! It's 6 mil greenhouse film.

I was determined after sitting in trim jail for nights and weeks on end last year I wasn't going to grow any bullshit larf this year. After early topping and a little lst early on last year I just let them grow. Now I go up to the plant and kind of spread open the canopy if I see scraggly branches not reaching the rest of the tops I cut it out. I think when they send these long skinny nodes from the bottom of the plant that spend all they're energy just trying to reach the top without any other internodes or bud sites the plant is spending too much energy to try and get one crown. I just see it as energy better spent growing buds that are in the sun on nice strong branches. Also if there are big fans on the top growth of the cola facing inward blocking light from the budsite I'll cut them. If you cut thoughtfully they will thank you.

when do you stop cutting on the plants? obviously by full flower I haven’t done a good job if I still need to snip, but is there a stage you typically stop hacking on them by once you know the end goal?

trim jail…that’s funny

I'd say probably after week 2 of flower or so. Once the stretch is done and the losers of the race are settled without thier own spot in the canopy I'll clean them up. I'm pretty much at this stage now, I've removed all the branches I deemed not worthy to stay and now I need to go back through and clean up some of the lower bud sites on what is left. As what was once the tops 4 weeks ago when I stripped up to the last 4 or 5 nodes is now like 3 feet below the canopy. I wont go too crazy but there's definitely some bud sites that can go.

cool thx. I’m behind you by 2-weeks or so it sounds like and started taking small interior branches off slowly last week, just a few a day.
