some plants might tend to be a bit racy. Some
of the plants will try to grow quicker than
others to try and receive more light. If this
happens the racy plant will cause the smaller
ones beside it to receive less light. To
control racy plants we use a process called
thinning.
If you discover a few racy plants then just
cut them down to the same level as the others
(called pruning) or remove them all together.
Once you have done this you will see all your
plants growing nicely along at the same level.
Now, do not throw away the cuttings from
the thinning before you read the next line. You
can clone these cuttings into new plants!
By the time you have finished your thinning
you will have an even grow area with some
clones that you can use to grow more bud.
Now the other thing to remember is that
some people may tend to thin the other way
round. That is - leaving the taller ones and
remove the smaller ones. Again in Cannabis
growing the taller plants are generally male
and the smaller ones are female if you have
started from seed. Do you want a garden full of
possible males?
During the thinning process you may want to
