<span class="link_user">@Atomik_water</span> it's not that it's week 3 that I choose to trim it down like this, it's how many nodes have grown and how well the roots are established. I'm doing the mainline technique where you top down to the third or fourth node and strip everything below. the goal is not only to keep the plant short but to create symmetry so plant nutrients uptake to each cola equally. it helps with airflow and to create large, uniform buds :sunglasses:
