can you prune your auto plant while its budding

[ginnithead]

I was just wondering if anybody could tell me if you can trim or prune your auto plant while its budding.

You can but there is no reason to do it. The more roots, the more leaves; the more leaves, the more bud.

With mine i'm not taking any green off but the yellow dead leaves near the bottom of the plant but it just means the buds will be the thing the plants focused on, not healing itself.

Depends on the pheno. I grew multiple la divas and one had to be trimmed because it was blocking so much light that the owner growth wouldnt get dark green.

The "darkness" of your plants depends solely on the amount of Nitrogen it's getting. It has nothing to do with leaves "blocking" light.

Feed two plants the same and block one from the light. Tell me if its as dark as the other.

Marijuana eats up sun rays like tomato plants. Ask anyone with any experience with a real tight canopy if the lower growth doesn't lighten. I've seen it on my auto. I didn't train her and she grew a thick canopy. I believe outdoor growers could weigh in here as well.

IF its not already 4-5 weeks in Id say go for it. Alot of wasted effort already if you prune half way through though.

Where do people come up with stuff like this??? This is a plant, just like any other plant; it's botany. Do your research instead of saying what someone said in a forum.
