Should I remove "buds to be" from the lower parts of the plant now? From my prev grows I've learned that this buds will stay small and puffy.

It won’t hurt to remove what you know is going to turn out kinda weak and larfy at the bottom of the plant.
It will also help push resources to the buds at the top.
Hope that answers your question.

Drying Best Practices?Drying ganja for the first time. Buds are in the dark with temp steady at 70F. Humidity steady at 55%. Trimmed fan leaves, but left all sugar leaves. Plant is stinking like wet grass on the 3rd day of drying. Will this smell break down or am I needing to make some adjustments?6y ago

Outdoor Bonsai: Root Pruning instead of Repotting?? Thoughts??I figured I would start off my first grow question with a bang:
I'm thinking about turning Barry into Bonsai Barry. So basically, put him in the 7Gal pot and root prune where ideally you would repot (I would say 2-3 times knowing that I'm early).. 3..... 2...... 1....... SHOOT5y ago
