Is it ok or not to cut of the bottom limbs of a plant? My plants r about 12-16 inchs tall and a few of them have limbs coming off every 3/4 inch. If you can how many limbs up would you go? Thanks

Why cut anything off? Each of those branches will end up with a cola on them.
I typically don't cut anything I don't have to.

Cutting them off will make the colas above thicker and bigger because it wont be dispersing its energy. Now, whether that gives you much more or much less yield than if you had kept the lower branches is different from strain to strain.

How many limbs would you recommend cutting? If any.

Thank you guys. I think I will try cutting some and leaving some alone and see what happens.
