Hi I have grown three plants already in the past and I figured grow one more but I want

this one to be really good compared to the others. I want to cut off the bottom

branches that dont really produce any nuggs so the top of my plant can grow fatter

and nicer. Ive read how to manicure before but dont quite understand it and I was

hoping an expert could just break it down for me. I need to know the best time/way to

do this. Hope someone can give me the proper info and thanks.

First off, we should say that if you increase the light, with proper cooling, lower branches can produce more bud.

We top our plants, leaving two nodes on each. Each node has two growing shoots. The two shoots on the top node grow fastest since they're closest to the light. Once these two have a node on them, we top both, leaving that node on each. There are now four growing shoots on the top of the plant. By the time these four get growing, the two shoots growing from the very bottom node of the plant reach canopy level, provided they received enough light. The plants go into flowering with six stalks that will each form a cola.
