A Couple Questions

[ferrarosnose]

Both plants are gorilla glue autos. They are 48 day old (or so). The first pic the plants buds are small. I was wondering if there is any benefit to taking the really small bud sites off the bottom of the plant that are hidden and wont amount to much---to allow more nutrients to travel up higher?
The second one is a larger bud growth on a separate plant. Do I just leave all the leaves on it that are surrounding it? Or take some off to allow more light to the bud?

thanks for any help

you could remove a few leaves from the more dense areas other than that id say leave it as is

some do this lolipop thing where they take the lower buds. some don't. i like lower buds. throw em in with the trim and make some oil. i don't know if it makes a difference when they are left on the plant

regarding your reply, do you have a good link to making oil? Id like to try it next time. Thanks

I clean the undercarriage of the plants, but only things that will not receive enough light to amount to anything. If a lower is getting the light, I'll leave it.

I leave all my lowers but defoliate fan leaves if they're blocking too much light to the lowers. Supercropping branches can also help you get more lights to the lowers and bigger yields. When I harvest my top buds I usually let the lowers go another week or 2 to fill out more before I chop them. If I got the space and time that is. If not I'll chop and throw the tiny popcorn buds in the trim to make hash or wax or budder or oil 4 edibles.

damn, I never thought of that. Thanks

Lst or scrogging also helps more light to the lowers.

Depending on your lighting, with the plant not very tall, unless blocked (by leaves) the lower buds are likely getting about at much light as the upper buds.
