We may be able to prune some of the lateral
branches but again if the plant has reached it
threshold it will not produce more new
branches. All strains are different in this
respect.
Prune cuts are made using clippers at a 45-
degree angle to the shoot being cut.
Bushes:
Some people like to keep their plants small
and wide. Cannabis plants are great for making
bushes with. It is a simple process. During the
3rd week of vegetative growth prune half the
plants branches and leave the other half. Never
remove all the branches. Cannabis plants need
at least 50% of the leaves to continue growing
without stunting problems. If you go less that
50% you may stunt your plant. Do not prune just
one side of the plant. Prune per side to
achieve the 50%. You may also prune the main
top cola if you wish the cola to split into two
or more parts.
Wait until the 4th of 5th week of
vegetative growth and prune the other half.
(Only do this if the prune cuts you previously
made have grown new branches and leaves.)
