New to growing (successfully at least). I’m on my second grow, first was a mystery strain from a random seed, the guinea pig for all of my current grow knowledge.
This new girl, I call her Lil No Name, but have narrowed her down to either Pluto Pop or Zelato.
I’m heavy handed with training techniques, it’s soothing, like cannabis bonsai!
I’ll get to my question, I of course would like the biggest buds and biggest yields possible but still unsure of what I should remove, without second guessing ‘what could have been’. I know it’s trial and error and strain specific as to what works best.
I’m just going to post a few pic of the sites that I’m unsure of and cross my fingers for some ‘cut this not that’ advice!
In the pics below, the first red circle is a close up of the second, showing the location of the type of growth in question.
Only remove that necessary to maintain good airflow within a plants’ canopy. The plant otherwise needs it’s leaves to manufacture the sugars the plant needs to thrive.
Im also in the less is more camp.
Less leaf cutting is more buds in the end.
As said above. They need the leaves for growth.
Take too many and they stall.
Looks like you have good airflow. I would let her go as is. Took me til probably 3rd indoor grow to work out all my kinks and find something that worked for me.
Keep it up, you will find your groove.
Welcome to the forum.
Another way to see if you need to pull a flower is by light measurement. By week 3 I cull any pistil set below 35k lux as not viable. this is based on 6ok at the canopy. Also am against pulling fans until below 25k lux. Fans can be tucked and normally die off as the flowers grow.
I big on leaf tucking on this one!
The rest would be super helpful if I wasn’t just a simple girl growing in my closet on a budget just for funzies lol. I did make a big upgrade from my first light. But my equipment is very basic at this point. But I do tuck leaves multiple times a day making sure pretty much all bud sites are in the light. I’ll even rotate her throughout the day to let the light hit from different angles.
