lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage

bodhistarted grow question 6y ago

These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

If it got pollinated by it's self.. the buds will stop growing. If the trichomes are showing the color's you want i'd just lop that hermie and call it done.. Hope this helps friend.. Happy growing! 👊

Cool, thanks both. I think I'll leave it and wait for the trichomes to get where I want them to be. It may have self pollinated, but I want to let it mature anyway.

Hey bro! 👋 Great girl! Beautiful! 😍 Don't touch the branches, let nature do its thing! It will thank you with quality and quantity! Pruning anything right now is just wasting extra time and energy for the plant to recover! Let it ripen without interruptions! 👌😇👍 Good luck, friend!

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

Help me Understand Defoliation and Pruning around 17-21 dayscof Still learning lots. I’m at day 18 of Flower and would like some feedback on what’s considered 1/3 of the plant for lollipopping effectively. Do I take the bud sites and fan leaves from everything under 1/3 of the plants total height or do I take bottom third existing foliage?

I’m a new grower and this one is now 18 days into vegetation and I haven’t added any nutrients yet. I’m wondering when the seedling will have used up most of the nutrients in the soil and I should start supplementing with commercial nutrients.

Defoliate or not Should I defoliate? :-) I see at least one reason already - there's not so much space, no sub lighting and lower branches are blocked from light.

Podar o no podar??Should I remove the leaves and some more stems?? I think so to improve ventilation in the lower area and boost the higher tips, although I've already done two prunings and I'm starting the third week of flowering, and there are some who say it's better not to remove them.. what to do??
