It's good to see the Weed Nerds talking about pruning at the Mendo Dope fields. Because for much of the season the "prune happy" behavior nearly sent me to therapy.
Notice how Mendo's big ball plants have fanners and smaller leaves or a more traditional appearance. The thing is though that big balls don't let light inside the ball very well and in can get humid in there as well. Why not prune to four main branches so if you are looking down from the top
you see four arms coming like like an open hand. I say this because in the wild, the largest hemp plants do this naturally. It's like four christmas trees growing off of one center stem. I'd like to break you boys of the big ball habit.
