if you want to take some cuttings there wont be any problems in taking the lower branches to do that, but if you are simply wanting to control the height of the plant i recommend doing some low stress training which will have the same result as pruning without the loss of the larger buds and plant vigor

You don't need to remove any leaves until they are turning yellow or if the light can't reach them.

 

There is lots of good cloning tutes in the Progation section, but it can be a steep learning curve so be prepared for some losses.

 

Good luck,

PS - when are we going too see a pic of these?

hey mr smokey,

It wont matter if you leave a 2cm gap or no gap when you clone the offshoot. If possible make the cut with a sharp blade like a surgical blade or stanley knife instead of scissors as these will slice and not pinch the stem which will cause the plant less stress..

sorry no pics dont have camera........

 

And they not looking so good cause I FUKED UP BIGTIME.

 

i made up some new ph water to flush but i cheked it like 10 min after changing ph was 5.6. I go look at plants this morning and there like droopy 1 more than the other, so i go chek tha PH was now 4.6, what tha fuk hahaha heart attack.

if your growing in soil or coco once u fill the spill tray and the plants soak all of it up wait 3 days than water again if your using strait perlite with the same bottom watering after the plants soak up whats in the tray wait one day than water again
