Hi growmies!! Hope you all doing well!!😁👊
I got a question about sucker nodes when mainlining, i got 8 tops now growing great and wanna go into flower. Do i take off all sucker nodes or can i leave some on? Many thanks in advance, happy growing!!😁👍👊
By sucker nodes you mean the lower buds, the popcorn sites? Yes remove the lowest growth and anything small or in shadow. I leave around 4 nodes on each stem especially if the internode spacing is nice and tight 🌱👍
Thanks growmies @fruitgrower@nobody01@psyclops@norCal_kannabliss for the great advices!!😁👊 pruned of almost all sucker nodes/secundairy nodes/popcorn bud site to be😁👍 will let her grow a few days until i got 3 nodes with "suckers" below my main tops and then proceed to 12/12, i am really gratefull for tgis awesome community!! Happy growing growmies😁✌️
when I prune suckers from my plant.....they are the stems that won't really grow or produce much in flowers...are usually on the bottom of the plant. keeping this in mind I prune the bottom few nodes depending on how much stretch the plant will have. Light is a big determiner on what will be a sucker and what will produce. the further from the light the higher likelihood that it will be a sucker branch. Not sure about LEDs but I know that with HID lighting for every 12 inches from the light the amount of light is reduced by approx. half.
