I think I let her grow too bushy (How can I clean her up?)

Troubleshooting

I got lazy with the clean up on this plant and she’s gotten bushy.

Can anyone guide me on where to start with the clean up?

You can do what you want with your plant. Yours looks a lot like mine and I expect excellent results. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with a bushy plant.

Your plant is doing what it does natural. I’ve grown 8 plants previously did no defoliation and my yield was 4 lbs. mine were autos. What are yours?

Plant looks fine to me. Mine look like that after I thin them.

LOL Exactly! I learned from the best! You are one of several that heavily influenced my growing style.

I may have run off the rails but I started out trying to copy you, @Myfriendis410. :sweat_smile:

Looks like a nice plant!

For me, if it looks like it can have some air pass through with a mild breeze, I let’r roll.

The frames and plants are 35 inches across. I generally expect 12 to 17 zips per plant.

Your all good brother maybe dial back the Nitrogen a little bit leaves look a little glossy and dark but if you really want to open her up tie down the branches to the outside of your grow bag

I hate taking off those big fan leaves at veg (solar panels for plant) so i use a 4" inline fan blowing up from under the plant (blowing up her skirt under my net) im figuring im getting plenty of air flow that way without removal of good solar sails. Dont know if it is best “practices” or not but its what i do. Im open to opinions please as i pulled that technic out of my …well you know! LOL

I only remove leaves to improve airflow. If that works and prevents WPM you are in good shape.
