Totally out of control.

This grow i have LSTed to obsession, and been heavy with the pruning.

First prune a few weeks into flower to clear out dead stuff and little twigs with no hope of coming to anything.

Then again about 7 weeks into flower. [these times are only approximate lol]

Left with top buds and the best of the popcorn, less pests and stuff that starts in the older leaves, more light, air and energy to where i want it;

in the good buds,

I am then progressively harvesting, taking popcorn first and leaving tops on plant as long as possible. Stress seems to pump up the tops.

Smoke is getting stronger as i go along.

The trick is in the timing, so that you get some photosynthetic input from the smaller stuff to help fill plant out;

but get rid of it once it starts to get congested or get in road of good colas.

Pretty happy with the results so far; nice and neat, keeping ahead of mites and other bugs without sprays. If it has done its job, is in the road, has bugs or is pathetic; i got rid of it.

When i cut the popcorn i leave a little stub, these are reshooting in some strains.

here's some pics of what i took off , a few specimens lol nigel
