lower branches with pics

okay so i got some of my plants up

i measured that branch and it came to 7 inches so should i keep these or get rid of them?

let me know what you guys think? they have been growing about 2 months now

2 months? Not to sound funny, but they seem on the small skinny side. Keep and use all your stems. Depending on the strain a quick toping could add more main cola's.

first i had 7 plants, 5 were in the same planter. then one preflowered into a male so i got rid of that one, i decided to put 2 of my indicas in a pot by itself and three in a planter. two days ago i transplanted them into their own pots, but these things are healthy.

also tallest 2 plants are a foot and 7 inches and the smaller ones are a foot and 4 inches

They look light starved and stressed out to me but I'm no pro. Always one plant per pot though ur lucky the roots didn't get tangled together.they look andica in the leaves but they have that sativa look which to me just looks unhealty

Look'n good, no need to cut lower branches for an outdoor grow. More space for more buds...

i have 5 plants. 2 indicas and 2 sativas (one topped, which by the way is still the tallest plant) and a sativa/indica one. it has fat leaves and skinny and is as tall as my sativa. so if i did cut some branches. does that promote upper plant growth, or does the lost of photosysnthsis not worth it?

Have they been outside since hardened or are they indoor plants. I just can't get over how small they seem. Anyhow being outside I wouldn't touch them as its more decent colas meaning more bud. And yes removing them usually will cause rapid upword growth but you don't really want that as its more stretching than growing which can cause a topple I would leave them be and let them do there thing

i would say there stem diameter is like a penny or bigger

I wouldn't top them or cut any lower branches unless you are worried about concealing them. Just let em grow!

yeah security is not an issue, lately weve been havin this shitty weather in so cal, but usually they get about 10-12 hours of direct sunlight. do you think that may be too much?

Nearly swear I see peckers and codsacks on pic 1. Might be a male. I aint sure. The photo is a bit fuzzy.

nope those are little leafs forming on the branch, only one plant has really showed its sex and its that plant in that picture.

indica plant 6-8 inch lower branches

indica plant 2 just the same height as first plant but not as bushy

sativa plant, this one was the smallest of the group and could be a male, i see little balls on the top 2 nodes but i am going to wait. could be the leafs forming on the branch?


sativa, tallest plant, topped about 2 wks ago


this plant i think is a mix of the two because it has fat leaves on the node under the leaves that are long and sativa like. pretty much as tall as the topped plant
