New Grower Removing lower branches

[Jon007]

Hi
Is it worth removing the lower stems that are not getting enough light so that the upper parts produce bigger flowers?

It depends what you mean by stems.I remove some of the lower leaves that are not recieviing any light or leaves that are keeping the light from reaching the buds.

I remove any lower branches and buds that are not going to fully develop so the nutrition absorbed by the plant is all directed to the productive branches.

i remove the bottom2-4 node branches helps fatten up the top buds but i usualy take them off when vertical growth has stopped at the start of full flower :smokebuds: i must stress that its not realy advised to take anything of an autoflower but i do all sorts to see what can be done and if my yeild was affected i wouldnt be to bothered so do so at your own risk bro Si

Thanks guys you have answered my question, I removed a few of the buds sites last week that were never really gonna develop into anything, I have not gone mad.

Is there anything saying I should not remove anymore in a weeks time?

You could remove the little shit buds in a week but that should be the end of it.

Thanks, I think that was the aim, to remove anything that's little and not going to be much.

I read from Stitch about removing fan leaves in the last 2 weeks, is that all or just lower ones?

I have a question to ask about final stages... As I have about 50 days left I wanted to make sure I understand the flushing process.
Last 14 days of water only? No need for products like Final Flush?
