    First plant I've ever grown. It's about 2.5 weeks old. Is it too early to start training? 20200923_201712.jpg 20200923_201821.jpg

    Did you cut off a leaf?

    I remove everything under four. Doesn't get enough light and makes training and watering easier.

    I’ve never seen anyone lollipop a plant that young. I’m an organic soil auto grower too. I always do lst. I only did lst my last grow. This one I topped at the fifth node.

    I’ve seen anywhere from 1-14 ounces. There’s too many variables to say.

    Going organic and refining my training methods, I've gone from 2oz/plant to a consistent 6-8+.

    Message you I guess I can't yet or you don't allow them. Anyways when do you think is too late to cut from the fourth down? Before preflower start? I'm going to give that a try next time a lot less LST and tying down then.

    These are at day 30. IMG_20210122_202520.jpg

    Those are great looking plants @prodigal. I reckon you can remove unproductive or unwanted growth anytime. I always start when I get a well developed 5th node, Day 18 on this auto. But I still have to train throughout grow. From trial and error, it's what works for me.
