Pruning

Hello. I have had my girl in flower for 1.5 weeks. I wasnt going to prune her but there is just so much foliage on the bottom that is not getting light. I would post a pic but i cant unless i upload it from my personal photobucket account or something. Either way i dont like that too much. Does anyone have a link to how to prune your plants?

Just start hacking away til you like what you see! No real special way to do it just start to take off vegatation starting at the bottom until you feel the light penetration is good for whats left.

Another option is to spread your canopy out flat and you dont have to give up that bottom growth. Expose it more and itll grow more of da ganjjj!

Okay. Do i cut the branches growing from the nodes and the big fan leaves or just the branches from the nodes?

Here we go. As you can see there is a lot of foliage at the bottom of this plant that does not get light

If that were my plant id take everything in the bottom third out. Leaves and side branches. Dont cut off braches that make it all the way to the top just ones that are hidden in your canopy

Okay. Tomorrow I'm going to give her a little haircut. I'll post pics when i'm done.

Sounds good! Itll put a lot more effort into the groeth of those big sexy buds we like at the top!

Check out the plant in my avatar to give ya an idea how much to trim off

I was looking at that. Thanks

This was at day 11 of 12/12.

I like to keep a couple of nodes on each stem.

I removed all the branches that were not reaching light. There are still a lot of fan leaves. Should i remove them as well?

Looks good! Those fan leaves will only help produce bud at this point. Leave them until they start blocking bud sites! Nice trim bud!

Thanks
