Trim tips?

[knourgro]

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

im not involved in your guyses argumaent lol, im just throwin in my 2 cents (which i believe to be right) but ya your right, non of the mentiond trimmings will improve bud potency, outside of genetic altercations and breeding, theres no way to get more potency out of a strain than its genetically coded. you can fuck it up and lower em from where the plant would be, but not push it past 100%.

popcorn buds can form even on a short plant as it has to do with direct light on the bud. you can have a plant of perfect dense nugs, but one nug hidden under a few fan leaves will still be light and popcorn like, regardless of growing perfection. the triming will avoid these popcorn buds (because you cut them off) and send all the energy they were using to the main colas wich will make your main colas larger and denser than if you had not trimmed the lower buds, but once again will not affect potency of the bud

im done arguain with the kid

whatever that is.
(I've been here three years, I know what the mods tolerate)

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

huuh? a solid bud right to the ground? ive never seen what your are describing other than SOG which nobody has mentiond so im guessing that you are saying every inch of you main stem along with branches should be fully budded?
and about small buds, if anything growing your plant bigger is going to allow those small popcorn nugs to grow larger and not be popcorn not make them smaller?

im just trying to claridffy what your saying not trying to argue or anything, i fully agree that leaves are there for a reason and souldnt be choped.

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...

This but do it with at LEAST 7 days left till you switch to 12/12 to avoid stress.

You'll probably have to go in again after 3 weeks to get the new shoots the plant will put out lower but the stress chance at that point is much lower since you're cutting much less.

when i say solid bud i dont mean like a cola. its still popcorn shape..round balls. but they are solid as the top almost...gimme a sec and ill grab a pic of one of my own strains i made to show this...if its ok to tos down a pic here..will help buddy there see how bad i am to...lol

well fck me with a fork thats pretty. i understand whatchyer getting at now, was just clarifying that. what kind is she.... looks like they have alot of room to spread?

 

[Cannabisworks]

i could think of a few for you to but im not as rude as you to keep insulting.

 

[knourgro]

im done arguain with the kid., maybe a mod will come do their job here and make shit right. think thats what they are here for. got enough of them for such a messy house to...lol..anyway


i get they need good light to get tight down low. is why i said try shorter plants. i get 2 to 3 g nugs on my soil line and i dont do all this cutting and prunning stuff. i take week leaves once ,more than 50% has yelowed is all or i tuck them back to let light in

ya which also works, i think you guys are actually talking about 2 different methods and just dont realize, which is where the arguing came in lol. the way your doing it is your taking the branches the plant already has and making the enviorment different (I.E. training and light penetration) to make sure all your appearing buds end up healthy and dense where as the method he (or at least i, i cant be sure what he meant) was preaching involves cutting away the low bud sites early so that it transfers energy to the main nugs in the canopy lining, i use this method because i use SCROG, and anything below the canopy aint gona get light no matter what.

in the end a clone from a single plant one done without the trimming but training, and one with the triming but not as intensive training will both yeild about the same, lets say 40 grams as an example, the untrimmed plant will have many more smaller nugs, still dense and beautiful just smaller, where as the trimmed plant will accomplish the same wight but fewer nugs that are longer and fatter. both almost the same, just growing preferance

 

[Cannabisworks]

ya i agree fully. half the room was on a totaly diff subject. were talking making it more potent, not prunning..someone came chargin in with mouth open and eyes closed to take it off track...lol

 

[Cannabisworks]

went back and re read original post...yes he only says more thc...so i said no...then it went off....lol

 

[knourgro]

^^ya il agree on that one lol. those plants look BOSS though. howd you get every arm to develope evenly? its damn near perfect

 

[Cannabisworks]

no...;it was meant for you that you came in with mouth open and eyes closed dood. your talkin trimming leaves n shit for light...we werent. why you still in here anyways. all your doin is being a goof mouthpiece making a mess of the guys thread,. need to stop letting that overinflated ego get in your way all the time little kid....and whos trollin if your takin my quotes from other threads...your sure do talk about how you act and pist alot. at least i can admit when i missed read...you dont seem to know the diff.

Knourgro, thx bud. not sure i just do what i do. to bad i dont know how to grow hey.. they got me 3 to 4 oz each and where 3 foot at harvest. 1x1k light and 9 plants under it....pulled 22 oz 3 to 4 week veg

 

[Beansly]

hey pass the popcorn...im hungry....lol...dont mods do anything on this site??isnt that what they are for???

I just wanted to say that we can't go around deleting every post that disagrees with the thread OP's point of view. As long as someone doesn't start blatantly using insults or hate speech, it usually stays up unless they're persistent. Then it's either edited or deleted depending on the post. Also I didn't get a email report until yesterday soooo....
I deleted the last of the argument because it was particularly pointless.

 

[watchhowIdoit]

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.

THC is only found in the trichomes. And a plants potency is limited by genetics.....but pinching the popcorn buds will send more energy to the buds above. Making them bigger but no more potent than genetics allow......

 

[Cannabisworks]

gee i said that in the very first post in this.....lol
but thc is throughout the plant but it wasnt the topic here...lol just lesser levels. i under stood that the slight more growth will go to other areas in the plant but as said over and over,..wont be anymore potent.
not sure but seemed all insults to me. when someone has a handicap and then is repeated;ly insulted or made fun over the handicap isnt that called an insult..and even worse beimng its to do with a handicap or injury? he may not know my eyes are damaged but sure made me feel like shit yesterday by reminding me of an old injury. to me and mnost that is called insulting. if not worse. making fun of injured people is just plain sick.
but i thank you for cleaning the sandbox up in here. all it would have taken was a mod or higher to step in and poke the culprit and ask to keep on topic. not looking to ban kids. they just come back under diff names and gets worse.

playing the persecuted victim for sympathy are we ?
good god man admit you screwed up, dust yourself off, and move on. There's no place for ego's here.
I am not the culprit here and stop referring to anyone who disagrees with you as kids, underlings or whatever.

isn't there thc in the leaves like making butter to extract it or honey hash oil? so sir i think you may be a mongoloid

 

[Cannabisworks]

thc is from root to tips. in diff amounts
