well i also wanna cut branches.... i wanna do something like mainlining, is it possible to spot the exact spot where the bud will form in veg?Welcome to 420 Magazine @organicweda420
Just the leaves, not branches. Bud sites form on branches.
Be safe, and grow well my friend,
Tok..
Cut it and/or train it while in veg - whatever is left will create as many bud sites as it is able to do. The best buds are typically the top part of the branch, because of course they get the lions share of light. Each spot where leaves grow (in most, but maybe not all plants) out of is called a 'node' and the flowers usually start in/near the nodes and spread out over the branch as it grows to eventually be what looks like (but is not) one really big flower.well i also wanna cut branches.... i wanna do something like mainlining, is it possible to spot the exact spot where the bud will form in veg?
so even if i cut the leaves, the buds will still be able to form there? or do i need to leave the leaves?Cut it and/or train it while in veg - whatever is left will create as many bud sites as it is able to do.

Yes it is. As @Sueet mentions the buds will form at the nodes. When the flowering time comes the best flowering sites will be the nodes near the outside edges of the leaf canopy.is it possible to spot the exact spot where the bud will form in veg?
i'm doing a lot of pruning because it's easier to manage the plant, easier to handle spider mites, and less popcorn buds....Buds will grow at every single point a leaf grows from. If you see a leaf a bud will grow at its base, where the petiole connects to the stem. Buds will also grow from the tip of every branch.
Like Smoke said, no need to go overboard especially if you’re new. The pruning and all of that is helpful but it won’t make or break your grow if you let the plants just grow naturally. You’ll see claims of huge yields because of pruning and defol.. This is highly dependent on your setup and situation. It’s not the pruning that increases yields it’s the exposure to light.

so just to confirm, even if i remove the leaves at the nodes, buds will still grow at that node, even if i removed the leaves?
Yes, No and Maybe.so just to confirm, even if i remove the leaves at the nodes, buds will still grow at that node, even if i removed the leaves?
A photo of your plant would really help. We can point out examples of what we are mentioning on the same plant that you are planning of training for bud production.
