I read that in maximizing yield you trim off the lowest two set of branches. I am growing my plant horizontally to accumulate more budsites without the use of topping until I have the desired amount of branches. Is it safe to remove the lower two sets of branches?
There no relationship between removing the two lowest set of branch and maximizing yield. It's safe to remove them in any case but you want to wait a little bit more to see if they grow weak or strong.
In case they grow weak yeah it's a good idea to remove them but in case they grow strong you'll want to keep them.
Happy growing
Everything is looking great some branches are growing faster than others had to bend them even with the canopy. I changed my growing plan cause I'm moving and want to harvest before I do.
Decided to do my same grow as last time without topping. I want to grow the biggest nug I've ever seen. All the fan leaves are getting bigger and the mainline is growing 11 finger leaves, so that's a good sign. I had a scare it might have been a male, but I waited anyway....luckily I did cause hairs poked out of what I thought were male sacks. Started her on a heavy flowering feeding regiment. Fingers crossed to be my biggest harvest yet.
Seeing some white tips on the leaves might have slightly over fed her. She's stretching fast grew 8"in five days. Buds are starting to form and the leaves are huge. Mostly all the leaves are bigger than my hand and I have big hands. I am hoping the earth worm castings will make the buds bigger than my last grow. It's the waiting game now.
She's stretching hard more than my last grow, 14" in a week. A little worried about stem strength, the branches seem a little thin. The buds are getting bigger. Compared to my last grow at three weeks in flower the buds had barely begun. Fingers crossed these buds get huge.
She poofed out a lot more than I thought she would. Yeah I might have made a mistake but it's not a total loss and a learning process. I'm excited to see how she'll smoke. Some hairs are starting to turn orange already on the lower buds and a couple on the top buds as well. So it's getting close. I got about two to three weeks left.
Everything is looking alot better than I thought it would all the trichomes appear milky so it's time to harvest. I've done a lot of close looking at the trichomes because it appears we're ready to harvest a little earlier than I predicted.
