explain how cutting leaves maximizes your yield?
That's basically what he was asking about.nevermind i got i mixed up with pruning
It's a slow developing bud site trying to grow back. Shave it off with a box cutter to avoid it growing back next time. I got behind with my pruning on my current grow & it's catching up to me now. A lot of the interior bud sites aren't developing & I've been forced to cut them off. If a bud site isn't growing 3-4 weeks into flowering it needs to be removed so the plant can concentrate energy on growing the sites that are receiving enough light. The lower you go on the plant the more this becomes an issue. The leaves that turned yellow & fell off most likely did so from a nitrogen deficiency. The plant sucked the nutrients out of that leaf to ensure it's own survival. Make sure your plant is getting enough nutrients.well you see, my plant is very small, its 15in tall and the bottom leafs were getting yellow, so i cut them off, which was 4 leafs. Now in that spot there is miny leafs growing at the spots i cut at, it wasnt flowering before so i thought they would now, i still got another 8 weeks of flowering to go
