How's my chop job?

[midwest420]

It's been 24 hours. I think they took it just fine. Seems like they "perked" up a bit.

Nice but you probably didn't have to pull leave this early but plants are tough

Do you actually know what leaves do for a plant this size?

I do. I'm not totally new to this just a little rusty and kind of experimenting with the 2 shorties. I left my other one alone.

Cool just making sure. New growers see YouTube and IG stars stripping plants so they think it’s beneficial to do the same too.

I don’t touch nothing myself until they are ready to go into the flower room, then I’ll remove branches and lollipop as needed prior to flipping to 12/12

Not sure what the aim is here.
You seem to have removed leaves and not growth shoots?
Plus instead of just pulling them down so they pull off clean you've cut them?

Is there method to this madness?
What made you do this?

Like I said earlier...just experimenting with just these 2. My method is madness! Lol. It's my own little science experiment I guess you could say

And yet you still butchered your plant?

To answer you question....yes I did.

Atleast your honest that will get you far

I would have done some lst over cutting at this stage. I grow in small spaces and favor last over cutting in most instances.

Fair enough, wasn't sure if was something you'd read somewhere

 

[amneziaHaze]

why no LST?

what's wrong with this

That is a good question. Sometimes i pluck em, sometimes clip.
Aside from leaving alittle of the leaf stem i have never noticed a difference

I remember you implying that removing them made no difference

Blanket statements eh lol

Got a link, clown.

 

[visajoe1]

no harm no foul here. might as well lollipop it all tho instead of leaving some growth down low that isnt getting and wont get direct light.

not sure what the plan is, but i shape mine similarly. 4 in a 4x4. keep em low and flat with several nodes, veg for another 2 weeks or so from the size in your pic until they each mostly fill a 2x2 space, then throw em under 2 net layers and flip. lollipop again after week 2 or 3 of flower depending on strain, and sit back and watch the show

Well they literally pull off clean so it seemed an odd way to go about it.

I suppose a wound is a wound though so probably makes no difference.

Just never seen anyone do it, let alone just for the hell of it.
