Cutting branches for bigger yields?

Post by Trillskrilla »

I have 10 bud sites and I was wondering since 5 are doing really well and starting to bud but the other 5 are not doing as well. Should I cut the lower sites to put more energy into the top buds

Got a picture bud? How far into flowering are you?

its an interesting one... I tend to remove the smaller bud sites that are below kind of the net line, the popcorn type ones but ive never removed any main bud site. Im not sure if that drives energy to the remaining bud sites or in my head it does :idn:

A picture would help , 5 could be a lot of waste.

Mate i feel the need to ask again but based on the last pic you uploaded in your other thread i dont see any signs that it is a female plant that will make bud. You need to be sure it is a girl first before worrying about anything else
