sir_isOanswered grow question 4 years ago Yeah I agree with treat_them_gently, but dunno what you're intending to do.
Personally, I would use minimal chopping, as in, cut as few times as possible (major parts of trunks/stems) and harvest the major parts that are "ready". What's left will then get the rest of the plant's/roots' focus and obviously result in that getting more light too.
