This is because all the branches on the bottom are using energy from the plant, plus you will definitely want all that energy to be directed at the top buds that are getting all the light.
You know, I have talked to a great many people who are into growing marijuana plus I have l received a few things, and one of the biggest things that stands out to myself and others the most is the fact that people tell myself and others that there will always be something new to learn. The methods of growing marijuana plants are evidently genuinely complicated. I guess a lot of people might disagree with that statement, and say it is just growing plants afterall. The thing is, you have to believe about the right temperatures, the control settings, the right fertilizers, what each individual marijuana strain might require, plus so many other things. There are even all kinds of growing tricks like clipping the tops of cannabis plants so that they can develop several important buds on the top. I believe this is known as topping. I have heard about so-called lollipopping which is basically making sure to prune the cannabis plants respectfully. You want to rid yourself of all the lower branches pretty much in order to make the plants shaped somewhat like a giant lollipop. This is because all the branches on the bottom are using energy from the plant, plus you will definitely want all that energy to be directed at the top buds that are getting all the light. I would have never understood anything about this if I didn’t have so several friends who appreciate giving wisdom to myself and others about their growing operations. I believe a few guys that make a real splash because they invested in a turn-key facility. I even have a neighbor who is talking about investing in his own remote grow room. That sounds crazy to me, because I don’t see how you could even take care of all the plants without undoubtedly being there to better nurture them.
