Lord: My freind did the first one for me !!!!

Anyways all is good now and I hope my yield won't suffer because of it. Like I said in the past I am aiming for 1 to 1.5lbs

Here are a few pictures of what one of my plants looks like. Now these plants are in the 4th week. And I trimmed them about 2 weeks ago. Look at the middle picture and you can tell I had trimmed a lot of the lower branches. This from what I have read and listen to allows more energy to be spent on the top buds that get the light, plus air movement below.

Now I know this is not what some of you believe. But hey, there is more then one way to skin an Elephant.

I will not get huge yields per plant. But with this method I will have more plants. So the yield will be about equal, But I will have much less trimming time, and much less waste to throw away. At least that is the theory.

Depends on what you count for the weight of yield. I trash (give away) all the smaller pop corn buds. This way of growing I get much less of them. With a 5-6 foot plant, I used to trash about 1/3 of my buds. I do also make hash and honey oil with this sometimes. But a guy can only have so much of it.

But out of that plant I hope to get 1.5-2 OUNCES. This is my target. When I had full sized plants I would get 3-4 OZ's each, But it would be hours on end of manicureing. I HATE MANICUREING!!!!! :wall:

Now show the new photos here. So all the people that have ear marked this thread can see them also.

And if you remember correctly. I also trim my plants during the start of flowering. The plants I have that are in Post #82 were vegged for only 2 weeks, then placed in flowering stage and then trimmed at 2 weeks flowering. They are now about 20" tall and clusters of 6-8 main type colas.

I think a few people owe you and your friends an apology. {:O)

Different strokes for different folks. I myself have been trying to get more into the trimming and shorter veg times. I think I am really starting to like the results.

i was never hiding. :neutral:
so if i did a search for fdd + pruning i would find...nevermind, the search function works like xxxx. actually i think its pretty xxxxing (no demerits for this boy scout) amazing that you can take a stance against pruning given the thousands of years of human experience and uncounted number of scientific studies that show the benefit if done properly.

i remain respectfully in awe of your courage in the face of such advesaries.
