Whats goin on people? my girl is 3 weeks into flowering and has 8 colas growing...however some of the lower branches are smaller than the rest and are not developing as well as the bigger ones closer to the top. will it be beneficial to the growth of the larger colas if i cut those smaller branches off the bottom of the plant?

snip,snip,make clones out of that bitch.it will make the main cola even bigger,bc instead of throwing wasted energy to the popcorn buds,it will now use that energy in the main bud,thus increasing the overall size and weight of the main bud.

ur welcome ppl

Yeah everything closer to the "apical" or "terminal" bud will grow better so instead of wasting energy on the lower part of the plant which wont grow good anyway take off some of the axillary buds down lower and anything closer to the head will be way better off. Also you can take some foilage off to greater maximise this tactic. ( but not to much lol )

yea what they said. cut the lower branches since they wont make big buds and will only take away from the main cola. alot of people cut all the branches and train the plant to make one huge main cola.
