Cutting off smaller branches ?
Mel_Macallanstarted grow question 4 years ago
My auto is in first week of flowering. I been doing LST, to keep her from growing taller. There are two branches that don't look extremely promising, and I am considering to snip them off to give the other budsights a better chance. What is ur opinion? I'll try to attach some pic

I would advise you to let her be. I grow only autos and a thing that I’ve learnt is that if you stress them this much (cutting hole branches), they turn out smaller and in longer time. Good luck! 😊

I would leave it just as it is, she is a fairly small plant and has invested a lot of energy already to grow those branches.
If you are really unhappy with the smaller branches, you could remove them without causing too many adverse affects, but small buds are better than no buds!
Removing the smaller branches will not make the other flowers grow any larger than what they are genetically programmed to be.
Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Defoliation in mid-late floweringCan I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?
