First Indoor Grow

Quite the clean-up!

I'd say you should only keep as many tops as you think your roots can support. I doubt you would lose too much harvest weight going from 35-40 to 25-30, as the plant will send all the resources not going to what's been chopped to the ones remaining. But rather than taking tops, I would have removed all the larf from the bottom 2/3 or so of the plant.

This is why I don't take off fans when I do a post-stretch thinning, just flowers. If the plant is growing back vegetation in flower, doesn't that seem like that would be taking energy away from building buds? I don't want my plant first having to regenerate new leaves to absorb the light it needs to power the flowers.

Great response man. I guess its the moment of truth... did i go toooo hard and just fuck them, take note boys. bit nervous now

Don't sweat it LM, they're not fucked up at all! I have seen folks have nice solid buds and good harvests with some heavy post-stretch thinning, I just don't recommend it.

There are so many thinning methods and schwazzing like that is one of them that folks use to try to increase harvests, but as I recall it's done before flip.

Remember, every grow is a series of lessons learned for the next one!

Plants seem to be going ok after the major deleafing, im just a little worried with the big one( i may of taken off too many fan leaves) time will tell!

We are now almost into week 7 of flower. Nearing the finnish line. Lots is happening. Plenty of purple and fading now starting to begin. They seem to be looking and smelling great so i cant complain.

Also almost all my budget clones survived and are now starting to look like plants, and i have 4 mutant clones

Heres a few pictures from today
