Great read! I was following bad habits I learned from people who have different theories on trimming. I'll be really interested in seeing how my next grow goes, without doing any trimming.

That's a good read by one of the worlds leading experts on cannabis growing. But anyone with a basic understanding of plant science knows that the leaves power the plant. More power equals bigger buds.

I was reading up on pruning, just refreshing my knowledge, and more than once I've read that many seasoned growers don't prune. This is in reference to inside grows.

Is that true?
Some do. Some don't. The reasons vary. My best advice is to do research on things like inverse square proportion law and apical dominance. Once you've learned enough about how the plant functions, how the mechanics of grow room equipment work together, and how they all relate to and interact with each other you'll start coming up with a pretty clear idea of why and how.

It's getting pretty crowded in there! Is there anything I should be looking out for? I rustle the leaves around each day, to try and prevent condensation between leaves sitting on top of each other. Other than that, I really haven't touched them.

Hey old timers who don't trim, can you look at these pics and make sure it's okay to have my canopy this thick? I'm just starting week-3 under a 1kw HPS. Being the first time not trimming, I wanted to make sure I'm on the right track. I trimmed some during veg, and I was thinking, I wonder if it's like when you first start shaving, where the facial hair grew back thicker each time. It was just a thought LOL!

Everything's really green and healthy looking, so they seem to be happy :)

I'm going to supercrop the back-left again, to get ahold of her height.
