So i grew this plant here, and sure, it looks big, but everything on the inside of the plant was total larf. Not even big enough to keep. The outside ends were pretty good and she yielded quite a bit. But next time i try and grow the same strain outside i will be taking the inside and removing it. I am not dealing with that larf, and trimming, for nothing. View attachment 3525375

I don't do it to the extreme of calling it lollipopping...but I remove whatever isn't going to get enough light penetration to be worthwhile. The thing with removing your upper fans is that's how your plant gets its energy...your doing yourself a terrible injustice removing upper fan leaves

show me a source pleade that your plant gets all its energy from upper fan leaves

I think I will have to take an early retirement so I can try all of the techniques and keep up on my reading and learning how to grow and putting it into journals....... Plus I will have to get a place that has room for a dozen grow rooms just to try the lighting and techniques out... :lol:

Since most of us take clones and keep our genetics going i always recommend running the plant through once untouched. Then like five days or so before you chop it get right in there and see what you could have done without...next time cut it all out. I have a huckleberry kush from dynasty seeds that the whole damn plant is useable. But that jillybean i posted just isnt the same unfortunately, so it takes a bit more work.
