I do hear that, but when I have nice node distance on the main stem and getting the screen filled in, stretch of the node distance is not what I want, I just want the plant to grow more so I have more to fill in the screen.
Now the ticket is one can get to many buds sites on a plant, hence many little buds to trim and deal with, or one can prune and choose what bud sites to grow and how many, the benefit is the buds on the plant will develop and grow bigger and better.
I just hope the best for all who do like to grow. It is a very rewarding hobby for me, plus I need to keep my med jars full.
