Okay to prune popcorn buds at 4 weeks of flowering?
    #823520 - 02/09/17 09:44 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Okay so this is my first grow. My plant is in the 4th week of flowering (turned 4 weeks on the 8th) and I was wondering if I could still prune the small popcorn buds that I had thought would gain a little weight if I left them be. Now that I know that was a dumb mistake and that I should've done it earlier I want to remove them to add extra weight to the top buds. Is it okay to do this or will it make no difference at all because I've waited too long? Strain is unknown, but I'm guessing it's a sativa hybrid (bagseed weed). Thanks for the replies!

Personally I'd leave them, and add them to the hash run after harvest.

Stone is totally right.  Just leave them be, taking them off wont add any weight to the main colas.

There is an art to 'skirting' or lollipoping where you trim all the lower stuff and small branches to improve yield. Its easy to overdo and cut stuff that would normally turn into something good or leave too much and get a bunch of leaf.  Each plant is different, you have to learn what it likes.

Those are not too bad, but some plants have a bunch of extra junk that turns to fluffy/leafy growth sometimes called "larf" that will detract from the main colas. I tend to do skirting in early flower, once when it first goes in (or by the end of week 1) and by week 3 to get any strays that developed along the way. I tend to rip those popcorn nugs off and leave the shade leaf; unless its above a certain point, the lowest part is bare for airflow.


Those tiny popcorn nugs show up later all the time. The open structure of your plant tends to indicate that you won't have too much larf. They'll probably get some light and have a chance to develop a little.
