I was skeptical of 1 node and flip until I did it. I dont see any other way to go really, all that lower stuff is larf anyway. After week 3 I cut any branches that didnt find their way to unobstructed light and remove everything below the top 2-4 nodes on all branches depending on the light situation. Then let her go to work and fill in. This concentrates all the plant energy on quality flower, minimal wasted on larfish buds. I flipped them the day after trimming, didnt notice any difference.
Alright cool I think that’s what I’m gonna do maybe not that extrem since never done befor ...so trim flip then trim 3 weeks in right?... thank you for the advice

yep, most strains finish stretching after 21 days from flip. have fun, grow well!
Would you trim more befor flip?

So you leave just one node. That’s didn’t effect your yield?

nope. none of the stuff that was removed was receiving direct light so its all larf anyway. for your setup, id consider it.

Just flip to 12 12 now. Don't abuse the plants so much. Every time you prune you slow them down. I veg about 4 weeks from seed and then flip. I get 6+ oz dry of good bud per plant. I've found that supercropping and all of the other shenanigans don't really add much to the yield for me. I grow in a 4x4 with 400W hps.
