This is why I trim my bush

I can't remember the weather but I'll never forget the sunset and the stars:bigjoint:. Being from a big city on the East coast, travelling across the country in a neon green micro bus was like a religious pilgrimage. I had never seen such beautiful natural places before. Changed my perspective on a lot of things at a young age.

Some ask me why I trim my bush... I know many here prefer un-trimmed or “all naturale” and that‘s great, but I never cared for an unruly bush, so I trim my bush & I trim it high & tight.
Reason…I use an RDWC with 4 plants in a small 3 x 4 tent so the growth is out of control. If I don’t trim, theres just no way I can cram 4 plants in that small space without running into trouble. Once I lollipop everything below the SCROG, all the energy & growth go straight to the remaining branches & colas. Air circulation & lighting are more efficient. If all goes well, I should pull over 3lbs from this mini grow.
These pics are just a few days apart…right after a major trim & just before I flipped to flower this week. Let the budding begin.
Yours truly,

I think that's an attractive look and it looks good on these ladies too!

I too was having fun, I don't talk like that in real life hahaha.
I shouldn't have used my little satire as a reply to you. That made it seem personal .
Not very smart of me. You do seem to have fun in here .....your wit really stands out.
As far as " talking " goes , I can be worse than a drunken mule skinner ! Profanity and crass language just come naturally to me.

Weekend update: Week 4 in flower
Not much to report…
  • Colas are starting to beef up nicely
  • Foliage & roots look healthy
  • Gave my girls another trim
If I can make it 2 more months without any issues, I should easily exceed 3 pounds of trimmed buds.
I usually turn off the burple lights in the center, but what can I say…I was high.

Nice grow.

Do leaves actually absorb photon from the underside?
Honestly, not 100% certain but…
The lower fan leaves hang so they get lit up pretty well
The lower sugar leaves & buds get much better light exposure
And I’ve done numerous grows with this set up & the lower buds have been much thicker since adding the lower lights and my grows have significantly increased in weight.

I just looked at your grow journal & saw your post about getting laser atherectomy of your coronary artery. Hope all is well…I specialize in coronary & peripheral vascular disease so let me know if you have any questions about it…
Thanks for that. My heart is shot and I don't have much longer to go. There is not much more for them to do but replace my heart.

I just take it one day at a time :cool:

Hope you get that heart! I used to work on an organ transplant team years ago. I still work in cardiovascular disease & they’re doing some amazing things in cardiac rhythm management as well as exciting research injecting embryonic stem cells into necrotic myocardium and seeing regrowth of new healthy tissue with significan improvement in left ventricle ejection fraction & overall heart function. Best wishes

Week 5 Flower
I was out of town most of the week, so it was nice to get home & find my girls still thriving & fattening up.
I expected them to be a bit taller at this point, but the stretch is coming.
I’ll give them a light trim today & was planning on flushing my system, but the pH has been very stable at 6.0 so I may leave it alone for now and just add some nutes.
