Today I went to my friends greenhouse and saw him pruning his ladies. I was shock that he totally chops them up like that. I told him it was too much and we had a argument about it. He Keep telling me that he’s going to net all the plants and let them grow till end of the month. He swears that it will grow bushy again by end of the month. I went in on a bet with him for $500 that his plant won’t recover up by end of the month. What do you think guys????

Hahahahaha it look so over prune tho. He didn’t even leave any lower branches and nodes. Just the top three nodes. I guess we’ll see what happen by end of the month then

This just came out of hibernation. Winters are mortal here.

Just saying back your bet until paid for it.

I don’t mind paying that bet but I think he has another problem that he didn’t notice I think. He’s plant top half has really hollow stems and not even hard. It’s squishy and hollow. I couldn’t tell him what’s wrong.

That sounds like you squeezed his top main stems. Deliberate attempt at sabotage??

I'm out. Buy a rabbit's foot key chain in green.

Peace.

Go ahead and pay your friend now, and tell him that you were wrong. Maybe ask him if he'll accept half now as full payment instead of waiting for it all at the end of the month. I'd do the same thing if I were your buddy. If you leave all those lower nodes in there, you will have a mess of a bush to deal with and little air circulation in the plant interior.

I still remember hearing the words of my College horticulture professor from 25 years ago: "plants love to be cut up, they just come back stronger".
It is called defensive growth by 70 -90 year old family farmers and orchard owners who taught me. "Old Rule. New fool".

Defol will almost always reduce your yields.

If you defol everything on the plant will be ready on the same day. If you don't defol you might need to harvest the tops first and then give the rest more time to mature but you will get more grams.

You will use lose your 500 bucks because his plants will recover pretty quick. But to do that his plants have used a wasted a whole lot of energy and time replacing growth that was already there
