I was just looking at my plants and wondering how can i get my buds to fill in the spaces, as i was looking i noticed on the stems there are leaves that have no flowers with them and some had very tiny flowers. I was think ing, I only have less than a month to go so why not pinch off the baby leaves that have no flowers on them so the plant does not have to give water and nutes to the little leaves just straight to the flowers. ThaT might be a use ful tip to use when the buds are getting big but not as big as you want them to be. The only concern i have is is this going to give my plant toooooo much stress and can it become hermie now at this stage, there are no male plants but can the buds start to grow balls i sure hope fucking not!! I doubt it though. Why dont youse try to post any thoughtful tips that might help the plants grow BIG.

On one of my plants that got ruined by dog-piss I cut off the bottom 4 branches (the biggest ones)

now all my buds up top are FAT. Larger then they would've been if I didnt cut off the branches.

a guy i know who gets really good results says that he does a lot of trimming fan-leaves to get light to the lower levels..

i have more then enough leaves to get energy and lots of sunlight cuz the buds need sunlight too if a fan leaf or other leaf is in the way its not gonna get the potential sun.....but everyone has there own ways of growing im doing what works for me :bigjoint:

so you guys watched buds before, so let me ask you did you ever see one or several bud sites have areas of purple pink red and a wierd black?? mine does i have all different types of colors but i got five female plants though. Its not mold cuz mold would wipe off with a damp paaper towel right no this is true colors coming from the sack which the pistils come out of. I notice it on the lower set of leaves that have tiny flower clusters.

I Don't like trimming plants while budding,
I used to use this technique but it seemed kinda redundant
in the long run at least. If you're always growing indoor and
want faster, but smaller plants trim the shit out of em
but I just pull off the dead leaves now. and let em go au natural

removing new growth shocks the plant... I would highly recommend against picking the newer leaves. Lower buds and leaves will develop more and more over the next month you have, leave them there, and stagger harvest if you can to ensure they are fully developed and increase in size and weight before you harvest them... :)
