help (advice)

help..what will happen if I trim the bottom branches from my plants second week into flower noticed that there stretching as well?

Why?

nothing much, they may stretch a little more. keep an eye on temps, light and air quality, humidity, air flow, to control excessive stretch

just heard (seen) that top colas can benefit more than the buds I don't really need

All you will be doing is cutting off your lower bud sites. Doesn't matter much to me, it's not my loss.

so would it be pointless and let them grow as naturally as possible?

Less stress is best.

BEST ADVICE

Depends on the situation. If they are not receiving much light due to a full canopy or light dropping of due to distance then they wont be very fruitful by the end.
Why keep airy nonsense when removing it allows the plant to focus on buds that will fill out properly.

Pics of setup would help.

I would defiantly defoliate in there mate some big fan leaves blocking lighg

It's my first time growing just don't want to go cutting things...stuck!!

Any big fan leaves that are blocking lower bud sites remove you can take about 25% of the leaves off each plant and you’ll be ok it’s not overcrowded in there just a lot of leaf they come back quick !

Have a search of defoliation on the site

Fan leaves are like engines providing power. More power equals bigger buds.

I like to spread them out some and bend and tie down the mainstem to promote those side branches to grow up into tops. Makes bushes.

Look up LST. Light stress training. I don’t do it in veg. Just during stretch.

But best to do this during stretch around day 6-10.



I used binder clips on the pot edge to anchor and soft garden tie to hold the main stem down.

That plant will yield nice. Looking good.

To a certain extent yes but defoliation will increase the yeild as he won’t end up with undeveloped bud that’s been light blocked
