Does she need a trim?

Problem is that the results aren't clear enough for us to know. This isn't a make or break deal unless you go stupid and defoliate. If you just trim off the popcorn branches it's hard to tell if you lost popcorn with a little gain in main buds or if you just lost popcorn. Side by side you can't tell for sure. I picked the 4 most similar clones before flower a couple of years ago, in a shared rez. I trimmed the lower popcorn branches off 2 and left 2 with the only trimming being to top them. In the end the biggest yield was one of the trimmed ones, but so was the smallest, trimmed 2 totaled like 3g more than untrimmed 2. What does this tell us, just that the difference in results is very minor and we would have to test on many more plants to see what one (trimmed or non) has the minor statistical advantage.

Never take of growth that is healthy unless ya doing a lot of plants in one area and the humidity is high,I only take the bottom growth of but i do not do this till about week 3/4 flowering because before i think it causes plants to strech

I put the scissors away when I set the timer to 12/12. Not going to bother them then, they have a job that I don't want them distracted from. When they come back out they will be getting very sticky.

She's about 2 weeks into flower. Looking kinda bushy and I was wondering if I should trim her down? Is there a good tutorial out there? Blueberry bliss auto under 600w hps 12/12 in soil.
- If anything, you can trim a bit off the Very bottom of the plant. This will allow her to use more energy for the rest of her growth. She looks GREAT, btw :clap:

You can prune a little if leaves in the middle are all twisted on each other. Looks good though.
