Trim side shoots @ week 3 flower?

Raptor7started grow question 6y ago

I plan to do a final defoliation at the start of week 3 flowering. Lots of side shoots growing from the branches, should I snip those off during this final defoliation or will they produce decent buds? 4-way LST, 2 1/2’ diameter canopy

Hey Growmie, I normally remove them when I do a final defoliation, they always end up making popcorn buds, and once you remove them the plant focus it's energy on my making the main colas bigger. Hopefully, this was helpful and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

If they are very very skiny and don't look like they will break the canopy snip them imo or leave some for bubble hash or butter.. 👊

Hi there! I've gone and done some LST to my plants, you can see it pictured above. Have I gone over the top with it and was it a bit late in starting? I'm also now thinking of lowering my 600w LED from 60 to 50/45cm for the now LSTed branches. Worth it? Cheers

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST. Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)

I'm thinking about topping my Dr. Grinspoon in order to keep her in a short height from 60cm. But im worrying about the time she needs to recover from topping, which is important time for her very long flowering period. What would you recommend? Topping or any tips on better LST?
