Ok so I have this LS plant growing and I was wondering... due to the fact that I used superthrive in flowering (a big NO NO!) my baby is lanky but still has great looking buds almost all popcorn nuggz. :confused:What I was wondering is if my lower buds are nor ready yet but taller buds (closer to light) are would anyone advise either for or against cutting the small not near ripe buds off so the bigger ones fill out more? I am 54 days into flowering and will be cutting soon but I just wanted to ask and get an oppinion.
thanks guys I hope to get some good info. I just honestly want the best buds possible.:eyesmoke:

+ oh and also should I do NO NUTES a few days prior to harvest?

some people do this but in my exp it took forever to ripen th lower buds. i dont know if it went in shock or what?

actually i let her go another 2 weeks, no progress so i chopped it down. just let it go longer then get really ripe (top) and ripe (bottom)

dang that was quick thanks alot first of all! ok so I will only cut the buds off that I KNOW will not be ripe by harvest? and if I do this will it produce more in the existing buds?

well it depends on the plant, some people say that this will help help the main cola/s flower bigger as it concentartes the plants energy in those places but then others say that cutting off branches will only shock and stress the plant and it will spend longer rapairing and recooperating from it. personally id say that cutting down branches this late would be a complete waste of time, get some side lighting and they will all develop at roughly the same time anyway, moreover severe shock and stress can hermie a plant and i personally wouldnt take the chance.

true true, im going to plug in my tubes when the lights turn on in the A.M. and put them on the same timer i think it should handle all the watts but thanks folks ill post pics so you can see them and ill post more after harvest (if my camera is charged enough i have to locate the charger) thanks again.

oh you mean like this 2/3rd's now and two weeks later grab the little nugs after they ripen---like tomatoes do as long as the day is long enough?

Just the opposite acctually... cut off the lower branches with small buds and save/develope the larger more mature buds.
