hi Don | | only talking about trimming out rubbish to lighten the load.
You leave it on while it is contributing to growth, but take it off when it starts to compete with the tops. Your right, doing it too early will detract from overall growth,
but once the structure is there and the stretching is done; there is only room and resources for the best buds, excess popcorn and old stale leaves slows it all down.? best wishes nigel
