Trimming

[MARTYR]

its me again love the site and all your advise.

Here is another couple of questions.

when in bloom , lets say three weeks into it, top lookin nice , starting to fill out.

is it safe to presume that by removing the lower branches, the scanky lookin buds and storky branches that get stuff all light .

will this aid the top to bud better or not.

and is it true u cant look at your plants or should i say show them any light no matter what during lights off, cause my mate recons it doznt harm them or slow them down but ive read different.

oh and one last question: why is the sky blue

oh and one last question: why is the sky blue 

 

if you show the plants any light in there dark period it WILL slow down the finish times, if its too bad it can also turn the plant hermi.

 

Your mate needs educating if he thinks that light in the grow room during flowering doesnt effect it.

 

Oh and the sky is blue because the wavelengths from the sun bounce off the ocean and this only send out blue colouring and this is rebounded back to earth as a blue sky.

You can safely trim some of the undergrowth, but it's better to remove a these undercanopy branches as a group, and in one hit than to constantly be trimming and stressing the plants. Don't overdo it, and only remove the undergrowth which you're sure will be underlit. You can still use said undergrowth for making honey oil or hash as well, it's not necessary to remove it, but it can definitely help the branches which are in the main lit areas by diverting nutriets to them, and the airflow can be assisted around the canopy as well.

 

Hope that helps...

 

Oh, and ferenge, the sky is blue not because of the reflection of the oceans, but due to the fact that blue wavelengths of light are spread around about 10 times more than red ones by the atmosphere. This is enhanced by the effects of the oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere, which also scatter blue light far more than they do the red wavelengths.

 

The sky is red in the evening and morning, because at such an oblique angle, the sunlight has to travel through much more atmosphere to reach the viewing point. This means that most of the blue and other short wavelengths of light are diffused out of the light by the time it reaches the viewer, leaving only orange and red light.

 

Hope that helps too.

Luke, may the force be with you.

thanks for the trim fact, and thank God u said what you did cause i already did it, .

and yes i took all lower scanky buds and branches of in one session, looks like a bonsia tree a big bonsia but a sweet little tree.
