    Default How much do you trim?

    Some of my girls are getting a bit bushy and need a trim, I've only really done a few lower fan leaves at the minute and even then only a few every other day as I don't want to stress them.
    Is there a rough guide on trimming autos and should I chop the tiny little new bud growth areas at the bottoms of the plants?

    They're about 3 weeks or so into flower btw.
    Let's get it on!

    doing it little by little means there's little stress so no slowing down or recovery time, id remove the stuff from the bottom as needed mate
    it's only a problem if your being aggressive with ya pruning at doing it all at once, stress is the last thing you want/need with autos

    i just defoliated all fan leaves from a chemdog, wanna see the difference for myself

    as ME,a tidy up is ok,just remember its a balance of fresh air getting about down below against the light feeding the plant via the leaves.

    i perdsonally wouldnt chop off the satellite branchs, even though the buds will likely just become popcorn ,plant will still pull nutes from those when it needs to.

    unless youve planned it from the very beginning as a single cola grow,(something im doing with my present grow as an experiment)

    Thanks mate, it's such a steep learning curve with this and it doesn't help I chose three different strains so they're all growing a bit differently lol.

    thing with trimming is,for me anyway,the feeling that you are enjoying cutting bits off them and ermm,,,getting carried away.

    i actually ended up with basically just a stick in a pot once whilst extremely baked. :cry:
