WOW the plants are monstrous!
What are you thoughts on cutting all of the lower growth? I read recently that Roseman was against it, did you notice results?
Very nice cr5-

I know Roseman does and I know how a grower grows is how he grows. You might do better with his method, but I do better this way... I simply do not have enough room for the lower growth and I focus on the bigger stems. Only cut smaller growth that ISN"T getting light.. Thats what its all about, it the stem or section of growth isn't gathering light, its drawing it from the rest of the plant. I am not okay with this so I trim em up... You gotta be careful, as you can see on mine, on some I cut ALOT of, but I have learned the hardway what no to cut off. If you are not space limited and your plants aren't literally choking itself of light, you dont need to cut the lower growth... So Roseman isn't wrong, its just in my case, it was needed

Yeah that makes sense. I did the same thing on a previous crop. I wonder if there is any conclusive evidence on the topic anywhere. It seems like a little trim would be alright in most instances.

Yah Im not sure if there is any science to it. I know it helps though, because when I would cut off the lower growth, the plant would surge up
Different strokes for different folks! Did you cut them all at once or did you do it over a period of time? What did the plant do before it took off vertically after you cut? Any shock at all? When did you cut? In veg or flower? How big where they when you cut? Did you do anything with the cuttings? Man, I'm just full of questions tonight! This bowl sitting next to me ought to cure my inquisitive nature! LOL!

At first all the lower ones.. I am not joking around, I am very meticulous. I judged which to cut simply by light or lack of.. Then, and since they are growing so fast, I could easily see which stems gathered or rather regained strength that the energy the lower stems, not gathering any light, were suckin. This way I could easily judge which to chop.
There is NEVER any shock. Except for the shock you get from seeing the plants the next day. Im talkin about a complete lower chop that I just did, and still did sparingly, yet All the buds shot up another ft over 4 days . my plants are almost 50" now I started flowering after 30"... I should have started flowering earlier. Dont forget your plants need energy to support the stems, so the shorter the stems in between bud sites, the better...
All of this is only relative to a small grow area... In a big room with enough light, there is no need to chop the lower, or as I like to call it, premature growth. Not in the sense that a stem can be premature, but that when those lower growth buds are at 8-9 weeks flowering, they always are premature.
If I missed any questions, just ask Chief
Got it! It's a matter of what will get light and what never will. I know you are meticulous. That's why I asked! You don't grow plants and nugs of the month without having a great feel for how to read you plants. The old definition is having a green thumb but you and I know that a green thumb comes from knowledge of the plant, patience and successful experimentation.

Thank you very much MC... It is all about being aware that you always have much more to learn... But, do it slowly!... When you rush things.. It always goes bad.
Thanks for watching my grows MC... I remember when I first start growing Deep Water Culture 6 months ago and you have helped me all the way and I am very honored to be helpin you for the one time (lol) Chief.
Just part of the pay back/pay forward karma! Works every time!
I may even try soil in the summer just to learn how to do it! I'm trolling soil grows these days too! Got to be able to hit them with your right and your left! I've done hydro and soiless and soil is just the next step.

Ya I here you. Knowing how to grow with hydro really helps identify problems with soil, but the slow growth is something you gotta get use to. Nothing can top hydro's speed obviously. Im excited to see what you can do with some soil!... let me know if you start a grow
