plus why do you have branches growing so close to your base tied up..cut those lower suckers off to allow the energy to reach the tops more and you'll increase your yeild

lower branches are good for only two things, makin crappy popcorn buds, and being closer targets for insects...cuttin them off allows for a better airflow from bottom up through the plant..
I know you're right WackScientist..... the matter is that MJ it's still not legal here..... I regularly cut down as much as possible other plants and herbs, but I cannot cut them all, the viewing must remain quite wild, as the rest of the garden

about cutting lower branches.... yes I have already done a little, and maybe I'll do alittle more, but I'm already experiencing some problems with overall height....
I'd like to develop a plant as compact as possible, it should be covered with buds, from the very bottom to the top

you may say I'm a dreamer................. but I'm not the only one
