if you have good ventilation, leave them. if you don't have good ventilation, cut most of it. the reason is mold/mildew; the humidity can get very high underneath the canopy.

cool, i had already cut off everything that wasn't going to amount to anything, and ventilation isn't an issue. these are in dwc.

Update: My 250w (NL x Shiva) babies...

Update: My 250w (NL x Shiva) babies...

Just a little update on my 2 girls....

Today is flower day 41, and i think they have a week or so to go. I'm thinking about chopping off the top cola first, and leaving the other buds an extra week or so to fatten up. I didnt do any training, so only the top buds are getting much light.

They are starting to fatten up nicely tho!!! :D

They hardly smell at all to be honest... Its my first grow, and i was expecting it to stink, but i can barely smell them when i'm in the cupboard. Sometimes there is a slight whiff when i walk past, but its really not very much at all.

hey bro - I scrog a lot and unless you want a bunch of shitty popcorn garbage you should cut those off. not only will you have to deal with the small buds underneath, it will also take away from the size of the flowers above the screen. good move doing so. keep after them too through the first 2 weeks of flowering.

good luck -scrog is a fun way to grow if you like to mess with your plants constantly!

Hey guys, this looks like the perfect place to share my little grow. I haven't grown in what seems forever, and I can't wait. I have a med card so I'll be getting cuttings. Going to run 9 with hopes of around 6+oz. Veg for 7-10days then flower. We will see.. I'll explain everything picturedhere if anyone wants.

No stretch. The light is actually 9" from the plants. The plants are all about 5-6" tall with about 4 internodes. They are nice and squat. Check out this DSD x Blueberry.

I have topped and they are starting to brach nicely. During veg I will keep the plants 9-12" from the lamp and during flower 6-9". It has always worked for me.

My grow - Flower day 48 - NLxShiva

My grow - Flower day 48 - NLxShiva

Just a quick update on my 250w grow... At day 48 now with about another week to go, and they are fattening up nicely!!

There is some burning (caused by food & heat), but the plant seem to be taking it ok, and i'm not to worried as im so near the end of the grow. Just watering them with plain water now.

Heres some pics:
