Ive never heard of Bottom branching...Im sure Ill know what it is if you give us an explanation. So many names floating around these days, its hard to keep up.
Sorry to not have clarified. "Bottom Branching" is the act of cutting away the bottom branches of your vegging plants. Once your plants are in the flower cycle the light does not penetrate far enough to hit the bottom branches.
The belief(I've heard) is that because it is not receiving light, that is not useful.
And that by cutting it away the plant directs it's energy into the remaining branches.
There are some people that swear by this. I however, didn't bottom branch my plants, but am curious if it really makes your buds that much bigger.
Thank you for your time
