The 1st and 2nd pic shows some of the smaller bud sites on my girl in the last pic. Should i remove them or LST futher to get better sunlight in there? Just looking for some advice.:mrgreen:

Thats a personal decision, but based on your plant size ( if it were me, which its not ) I'd remove the lower buds and concentrate the energy upwards.

LST! they may catch right up!
Also, I sometimes just harvest whats ready and reveg the rest for spring. especially if its in a pot. that way you can bring it in at night or when its freezing out, then force flower(12/12) about mid january for a march harvest!

always remove the bottom. if you know it will only produce bud pop corn. cut it asap. the plant will waste energy down there and it could of been added to the ones you care about. I guarantee you if you have 2 plants. and the one you cut the bottom pop corn bud sites off. the manicured one will have quite a bit of extra weight yield. that's how we get those massive buds, its up to you in the end.

I have a 2nd girl she is going into preflower and I will remove some of her lower sites. They are different unknown strains and outdoors the younger wasn't started till last week of Aug. I'm lucky cold isn't an issue till early to mid Dec., but day light will be shortened significantly as I grow.

Diet I didn't do it to the oldest, but I did remove three lowersites on the youngest. I only did it because my sunlight hours are coming to a minimal and its my first ever grow so its like an experiment. :weed:

IMG_20131005_193958.jpgThe younger girl with her adopted big sis (bag seed girls) lol. I removed the youngest bud sites and left the oldest to grow. The oldest has been putting on the trichs lately.I've just picked up some Tiger Bloom to finish up with. 26 days into flowering and ready for her to finish. I think she is indica dominant she didn't get real stretchy while in veg or so far during flowering, so i'm hoping for 2nd week of Nov. harvest.:confused: As for the younger girl it was 90F today so Im hoping for a dry sunny fall into winter, and she can stay out till early December:mrgreen:IMG_20131005_185800.jpgIMG_20131005_190651.jpgIMG_20131005_190543.jpg

Try to cover her up during the rain. Also inspect it daily and cut any mold sites that come up if any. As long as you get a lot of sun after rain you should be okay. 80% humidity and rain is definitely rough though in my opinion.

Finally a mostly sunny day out the last 14, which were mainly cloudy drizzling high rh days and nights. CYMERA_20131020_172422.jpgCYMERA_20131020_171953.jpgCYMERA_20131020_172326.jpgCYMERA_20131020_172334.jpg

I built a make shift hut to cover her at night and it worked well keeping the dew off her. Here some early morning
