started grow question 7y ago
Not sure whether or not to cut some of the lowest branches from the plant. Doesn't look like they'll make a 50 cm stretch up but I'm not sure. Tips?

Go ahead and cut the lowest branches. They they will amount to nothing and the airflow will improve, reducing the risk of mold. Also less tops mean they will be bigger
