Exactly what I meant by careful what you read. Check out some of those thread by ub like he said they will help you out. I promise. To many people think that this pruning method is good for your plant. Bullshit. Don't do it. Leaves produce bud. The more leaves you have producing " energy " the more bud you will have. Your bud sites don't need light. The leaves do. Research this you will see a lot of debates. Don't take them off. You are on the right track. Don't fall for the bs Keep em green.
