Topping increases the number of bud sites, but it also reduces the sizes of the buds and increases the grow time.

Can you trim weed plant during flowering?

Pruning is almost exclusively carried out during the vegetative growth stage before the cannabis plant is mature and ready to flower. Pruning during flowering should be extremely light and limited. One example of appropriate pruning would be the removal of fan leaves that are shading healthy bud sites.

Seedlings are able to start flowering as early as 3 weeks from germination, but the resulting plants will be tiny.

How long does it take for seedlings to start flowering?

Seedlings are able to start flowering as early as 3 weeks from germination, but the resulting plants will be tiny.

How long does the flowering stage of cannabis last?

How long does it take for an auto flowering plant to grow?
