It removes vegetation that is sapping energy and resources from the rest of the plant. The lower growth will not produce anything worthwhile while using energy that could go to top cola production. By lolly popping throughout vegetative growth and the first week or two of bloom, you will undoubtedly increase your yield. Not only will you increase your yield, but the medicine you produce will be all tops and no loose, airy popcorn bud. AND, while your taking lower growth off during veg, you can use the cuttings for clones! Double-positive! LOL!

Just got off the leaves? Or everything below a certain point? I wouldn't want to cut off anything that could flower, you know? Sorry for the newb questions, but I'm still learning.

As to where to start. At the bottom of course. People do this differently, some take all but the end budz on each stem, others (like myself) only shave the smaller stuff from the bottom and allow anything that looks like it will make the canopy alone. _________________________ Respect Few Fear None Trust No One Smoke all the bud you can because tommorrow you might die.
