Trim tips?

Hello, I know the basics on trimming, but I had an idea and was wondering if any pros would like to put their input in the matter. I was thinking what if I let the girl grow norml (I did that with intent...) until it blooms. I'd then start to trim all but the main bud, that would focus all of the thc into that one main bud. Or that's the idea at least. Please leave your thoughts.

dosent work like that, you cant make a plant send all its cannabinoids to 1 bud to make it more potent. take a bud and thats the end oif it there. in fact it will hinder it from the bit of stress from you cutting it up.

how is takin popcorn off going to send that thc to top buds. it dont work like that. i dont think he was asking about prunning for light or growth. think hes trying to form some super thc bud.

Dont trim off lower stuff more than ten days after flowering to avoid hermying the plant. Cut off the bottom 1/3 of the branches imo, dont cut off leaves...they are your engines...

i agree on not takin leaves as well. tuck them back is better. taking some is ok if its realy blocking light but as little as possible relay. and if there is popcorn then you grew it to tall for you light like most do. should be solid nug right to the soil

show us the thc efficaqcy reports to back it then. cause ours show it dosnt work like that. nor dose cutting off lower thinking that same bud weight will now be on the top cola. we get a bit but we loose more by cutting them off

why does it have to be an argument. cant you answer without figthting when your asked to show us something. think ive asked you about 20 diff things and cant back anyone of them. no offence deood but we have labs here to back our data. what do you use. your eyes?. not very accurate compared to million dolalr machines is it. but you keep saying we are wrong> why are you so agai8snt new factual info. ive been able to back all what i say

yer the one stalking me and 20 is a gross exageration. I operate from the stance that you can't argue with a madman.
For god sakes spell check yer posts, you look like a fool not to mention act like one.

plants dont work like us, they have a tank of energy and each branch or bud gets energy as a percentage. like top bud gets 60% of available energy and the remainung 40% of energy gets spread out among the remaining branches (just an example). if you slowely (so you dont stunt the plant) start removing lower branches and bud sites that arent getting much light or are just scraggley then it frees up the % of energy that would have been going to that branch and evenly distributes it out to the remaining branches. so this doesnt neccessarily affect potency at all, but it will greatly affect the growth speed, size, density, and overall look of your final bud if you patiently trim off lower branches and nugs a little bit at a time

like i said if the lower isnt getting good bud then you grew it to tall. still wont send thc...yes they can m,ove foods about and a slight move of cannabinoids but not like hes thinking on doin and make some super bud. other wise it would have been done and we would all be doing it 100 years ago. and the lab results dont show the increase. we may tell ourtself it is but not to an unbiased machine

unless you buy into the theory that high UV levels increase the potency, the closer the buds are to the light the more UV they'll get.
ya more lumens on your bud will increase developing potency, not more than the strain is genetically programmed, so its still not a super bud, your just getting everything the plant can give
