you can trim a few off but its best that you don't. add a few more cfl's around it or get a bigger light...

bout how many more cfls ??? Cause I' got my setup m my closet with no good ventilation soo I pretty much gotta keep the dolor open cause it gets blazin n there... N I don't wanna take a chance uping the hps with a stronger one... U know. ?

need good ventalation and air flow during flower to produce nice buds. you can even when time to harves just cut all your big buds off and let the lowers go another 2 weeeks. big diff in bud firmness not bud size...

Oh yea?? I'll probly do that then. Cause that top cola is lookin pretty complete it's big lol , so n that case where do I cut at on the plant??? I don't wanna kill it lol

2 ways you can cut it.1st is you can just cut the limbs or branches that are done, or you can just cut the whole stock just above the unfinshed buds.i have done both ways and the plant will live...

i have a similar issue, my center cola shot up 15" so it is a huge cola, down 15" i have 13 colas surrounding it. Just cut at the bottom where the buds start separating. Cant kill it no matter where you cut, but just dont cut buds.

you can also tie the fan leaves back to let more light through

When you cut away a branch the plant will then focus on whats left and put its energy into the remaining branches etc. as above its ok to take away whats ready and leave the rest to carry on filling out, youl be surprised how she comes on.

Yeh i do that all the time, just been doing it today to let the light get to the bud thats got leaf around it.

Koo thanks for all the info imma go see wats the best thing for me to do I'd say that top cola has bout another week left n her, for now imma see if I can tie the leafs down or back, if that doesn't work after the wek is over I'll jus cut the top down, n probly from the main steam, n hope for the best, so if I do cut the steem down how long show I flower those lower buds?? Bout another month maybe?? And thanks all u guys for the help! I appreciate it!
