Trimming plant?

Could I cut off some of the bottom leaves (arrows) since I find that they don't get much light anyways?

Also, could I snip off some of the new growth (circles)? I was told to do that for tomato plants a couple years back so that the plant would not ''waste'' energy on those secondary stems.

Its better to do any pruning before per flowers start showing up. Reverting a flowering plant back into veg is possible but can take a while.

Looks like your plants growing sideways, have you thought about trellising it? This could become problematic once buds start developing by putting more weight on the plants main stem.

Preflowers as in these? This plant is only 37 days from seed on 20-4. I still plan to veg for a couple more weeks before switching to 12-12.

Sideways is on purpose. Trying to LST to get a nice even canopy. Thanks for the tip on the weight of the buds though. I'll watch out for that.



Also, should I be concerned about the plant ''sweating''?

I don't see why you couldn't take some of that foliage off now, but maybe someone else out there can chime in.

As for the sweating, I've never experienced that with my plants. Again another question for the community.

Looks like the beginnings of a really great scrog you could have there looks nice and healthy.

A little bit of sweating/transpiration (normally) where the leaves touch each other is not unusual to see. It's more than likely transpiring unused nutrients through the leaves. Get your PH in check and don't worry about it.

If I'm talking gibberish, someone please correct me.
