Anyone else against removing bottem branches?

I'm sorry, i cant get my self to cut the bottom popcorn branches off, just cant do it.

I was watching videos on youtube where they remove like 2/3 of the plant from the bottom up. some substantial branches were taken off.

outdoors, dnt do it, unless u feel u have to, imo it doesnt aid in much outside. more for indoor

everyone has different opinions on trimming so just do what you want man, if your not comfortable trimming then dont do it. try with one plant and not another and see if it makes a difference to what you are growiing

I cut only the ones that are very thin and get very little light. This is all I took off mine this grow.

I only cut branches off from the first 8-10in of the bottom of the plant... it dies hurt tho lol

If it looks big enough to do well ill leave it

I only grow outside under the sun,so my bottom branches get as much light as my tops due.Growing inside is different.Bottom branches often receive little light and the leaves are effected because of it.If the leaves are in good shape and still contribute to the plant,I say leave the branch on. :leaf:

I am pushing all the energy into the tops. I am not trimming popcorn buds this season. I don't have the time.

I agree outdoors you have a very bright sun moving across the sky every day. Light penetration, isn't as big an issue. I don't feel like they hurt anything so I leave them on. Why bother.
