Pruning

[leafbandit89]

Recently I pruned alot of foldage off all nine of my plants , they are in the seventh week of flowering will this delay things by much??? Will i have to leave the plants in flowering for longer because of this??

This is my second time growin and the buds are not half as big as last time , what am i doing wrong?

I don't think pruning this late in flower is a good idea - the buds need those leaves to create energy for them to grow.
Why would you do that?

it could be a bunch of different things..u gotta think what ur doing different this grow..or maybe ur strain is not as easy to grow as ur last strains..idk but when did u make ur last cuts on ur plant? my rule of thumb is i dont cut anything thats not a the bottom of my plant..like the bottom 1/3 of my plant so if its a 12inch plant i cut NOTHING thats above 4 1/2 inches and i only make cuts in veg and up to the 2nd week of flower

Only cut off damaged leaf's, pruning that late will delay your grow and decrease yeild IMO>

The window of harvest is determined on what the trichomes look like.
Get yourself a scope, unless you have Superman eyes.

sound man but if the buds are still small would it do much harm to leave the plants for another week or two cause the pruning slows things down ya no let me no asp.....

if the trichomes are still mostly clear,I would say another week probably wouldn't hurt them.But keep your scope handy so you'll know when they are going amber for the most part.I guess it really depends on how you want your smoke to be.
