first grow.
no AF but seeing as this is the best/most helpful forum Ive found.... ;)

My babes have been in flower fooorrrr.....36 days and they vegged for 2 months.

So...I know air flow around the buds is important.
I know that the buds need light to...flourish, if you will.

Im contemplating doing some trimming to help improve on both accounts.
here are some pictures... I did highlight the leaves that I would like to take off.

This is George Cloney. She is essentially just one big cola with a few randoms here and there. Though you cant tell cause there are some big ole fan leaves blocking the view and since they're blocking the spectacular sights, im assuming its not helping anything else...

This is BigMamma, that is planted in the same pot as another (George's momma). Again, Im a n00b, so im only assuming, that the reason her bottom is a bush and then gets uber sporadic is because i had the HPS too far away during her stretch period. Or is it normal to get so sporadic BECAUSE of the stretch? All I know, is that her top cola is a bit bigger than my hand...(granted, Im a girl and have small hands to start with...but still lol), and there are a bunch more that I KNOW aren't getting much of anything, in the ways of light/air flow.

so now arises the question of my title.
to prune or not to prune?
Is it too late into flower to risk stressing them? Or no?
And seeing as Im a noob, the only time I ever did any trimming, was when I took the clone from Teeny. Though, I thought when you take cuttings, the branch was supposed to grow back? Cause her's is just a brownish black nub, lol That considered, is it possible that I did it wrong? I tried my best to cut at an angle and i used a pair of sharp sterilized scissors. I havent done much research into pruning, so Im not entirely sure on how and when to do it.
Any thoughts would help!
Thankkkkkkk yooooouuuu!


PS- In all my years of smoking, I just now got some Durban Poison. and i must say.... kid tested, mother approved :smokebuds:
 
I findIt Helps...And Sometimes it can cause more problems...
Its A Iffy kindacall..
I havent had any bad Luck...and If u know what went wrong and fix the problems.let the leaves drop mostly naturally ..
 
guessing prune is triming :shrug: lol ^^


its a hot subj on the AF kinds if you should or should not trim them. triming a photo wouldnt be any problem in my opinion, even in late stage, and i did it nearly on a day to day basis. but i see you dont got to many of them and they arent covering up to much so i would just let them be.maybe some on the big mama, but you might get away nicely with just tucking them down. keep in mind that the leafs are also where the plant gets its energy from..so she would want to have some of them left ^^

when you took the clone, where did you cut it? you dont have a picture of it, do you? it would be at great help
