After my topping I would like to keep 2 pairs of branches on the main trunk. For this I start to prune the lower stems.
I have 2 or 3 to remove. It's a bit much and risks stressing my plant i think. Looking back on it, I would have done better to cut lower during my topping it would probably have give bit less stress than now!๐
But nothing terrible, I keep moving forward! ๐๐
In veg you can basicly torture it as much as you want. Of course after extreme handling it make take time to recover. Just cut those extra growth away ๐
