If you are going to LST the plants I'd remove the bottom 2 nodes. If letting it grow natural there's really no need.Hey, question on autos if you can help. I have a new batch that’s 20 days old today. I topped half of em last night. Should I cut off the branches at the lowest two nodes now too? Ever?
I did it in my first round of autos and they seem ok, but I’m not sure if they do better if I leave the leaves!
