I got this Blue cheese. 8 weeks old. And its getting a little wide. So can i trim all the lower branches without making any stress or harm to the plant? And when it starts to bud, then would'nt it make bigger/better buds?
I could also use a good website with pictures to explain precisely how to trim the plant for optimal grow.

Look on other threads on people trimming and choose if you want to do it or not
always good to be sure.

Can't you train those branches instead of cutting them off completely?

Lower branches - I'm assuming your talking about the fan leaves. The plant needs these to grow. I would leave them on or just tie them out of the way.

Just my 2

Sorry - I just looked at the pic. That's a healthy looking plant. Personally I wouldn't trim anything. Let it grow.

Use the search bar on this site to search for: LST(low stress training), topping, super cropping, or SCROG (screen of green).

I’ve used LST for years and will help increase your yield by a lot. Just started a SCROG grow so I can’t say much about it yet. Although it’s looking very promising.
