Hey Growmie,
Yes I personally use it basically very grow, It helps a lot with getting the side branches and lower branches more light so you can have several tops and prevent popcorn buds. Hopefully, that answered your question and feel free to ask for advice anytime, and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Remove or not new branchesHi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary).
Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure?
My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmationWeek 3

Flower trimmingI've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? Thanks4y ago

Defoliate or LST?Defoliate or LST? Both Grapefruit and Bruce Banner are ready for some love but due to the short bushy nature of this grow, if we LST and start bending the plants their leaves will end up touching the soil. Would it be better to remove a couple of fan leaves to let light in?Week 3

How is the girl looking? Am I being impatient? ( newbie over here )
Day 17... At this stage more stretch was expected as well as a more vigorous grow. ( light is higher than the recommended hight )
Watering 1L every week or so. She hasn't shown any sign of stress.
Thank you.Week 3
