croping plants

[jumbotron]

i'm growing my first plant. i am about 4 weeks into the flowering state. i've been growing, what looks to be a K.B, outside in texas. i was wondering how often the leaves should be croped, the water intake of it, and when would be a good time to cut it.

No use pruning now. Pruning should take place right before putting them under 12/12, or maybe a week later.

Go to your local nursery and by a "Moisture Meter." Water when indicated by the meter.

Go to Radio Shack and buy a 30x scope. They are around $10. Focus in on the crystals. When they get cloudy, and the pistils on the plant (the hairs) are about 70% amber, its time to cut the plant down.

yes, and NO... depends on what you want...

If you do not have adequate lighting, then topping the plant will do nothing.. except delay the same problem from occurring again..

how many nodes do you have?
what kind of light(s) are you using?

cheers


BTW - you should start your OWN thread

i love you
