if you learn to prune your plant right you can

generate small bushy Sativa plants that grow in

tiny spaces. Without pruning the Sativa plant

it will probably stretch to five feet and more.

For every stem or branch you prune, the cut

area will develop two more branches. Look

outside at any tree. See how the stem divides

into branches which sub-divide into more

branches which divide into new shoots and

leaves. Well some marijuana plant only grow a

main branch out from the stem and this may stay

that way throughout its entire grow. Any

filling out usually occurs when new leaves and

branches develop at the nodes. Some lateral

branches may develop new shoots but these are

somewhat small and thin and do not support much

bud growth. If we prune our plant we can make

it more like the tree that we see in the

garden. There is also a limit to how much we

can prune. Let us follow a prune path for a

moment.

If we prune the stem, it will split into

two. We can prune both these two new stems and

end up with four stems. We may try to prune

each of these four stems to try and create

eight stems, but this depends on the strain and

its branching limit which is genetically based.
