To trim or not to trim this clone

So I’m trying to slow the growth as we’re waiting 2 more weeks to harvest the big tent. So I supercropped all the main branches and now have these shoots coming up the middle. Should I cut the smaller shoots so the other SC’d branches will get beefy?

This plant is a cutting taken 3/8. I have pruned it back several times and it was time to do it again. Because of what I am doing with it and where it will grow, I pruned it (and three others) to have 3 or 4 mains. Before working on it today it was around 22"


As I said, I only want 4 main stems. I cut all secondary branches off. I also removed all growth tips except for the top two or three.

I topped the main stems removing what I needed to bring it down to 18"

Three more to do.

I think you need to decide what size (height & width) you want and how many branches (flower sites) you want to grow. Then prune and maintain the plant to what you want.

That plant is wide open. She will beef up now fast. I personally would just let her veg next 2 weeks and do another prune when relocate. Just me. A nice cola might shoot up from the center and wont know if cut it off young.

Thanks, I didn’t realize I could just keep pruning like that! I’m just trying not to make the same mistake as the first go round when I just let it go too long before flowering.
