@Le_Duc_Du_Bud, you have the knowledge, you have the common sense to know what to do and what you should not do. With northern lights, it is indica dominant, the branches will fill up all the way it's always good to get rid of the bottom leaf and small buds for airflow, no one wants to get budrot, I was concerned one of these glues had started to develop rot but it hasn't thank goodness.
@Le_Duc_Du_Bud, yes you can, I usually take all the bottom flower sites and leaves away. Gives the top of the branches that bit of extra growth. Don't take too much at once, do a few branches per day and that's good to give them water after pruning.
@Le_Duc_Du_Bud, this is the exciting time. You can see the buds forming and taking shape. Now it's time to leave them alone no more heavy training or defoil. Only tucking leaves or very lightly pull the side branches out to expose the inside of the branches to more light also.
@Le_Duc_Du_Bud, happy enough. One plant was very dense, the other one not so much. Both weighed 51g each after drying. Strange that the weight was the same despite the buds being rather different, there is alot more of the fluffy plant. It will wreck my head forever why 2 of the same plants side by side on the same feed can turn out different lol.
