    ok ...so many ideas and thoughts ill post them right now all in one post please reply only if you know for sure.


    1--- i have alot of bud on the top half of my plant but alot of under developed ones on the bottom i have it figuard out in my head that if i cut about half of the leaves in the right places itll allow light to seep to tow bottom. the plant has i would guess about 7 sets of fan leaves (its a 4 foot tall indica plant) and about 6 sets of bud growing brances with 6 or 7 smaller leaves per each of those will the plant suffer alot if i cut that much off? should i do it all at once or over a few days to allow stress to be a minimum?


    2--- can i make hash from cuttings once the plant is well into flowering? do they contain enough thc so that maby for every 1-2 plants i can get a few grams of hash? and is it decent? (i make bubble hash only if that helps) and worth the time and expense


    3--- when i make a cut (example: cutting off a fan leaf) do i make it at the end of the leave or where the joint is on the main part of the mother plants stem?




    so yea these are my questions for now hope they answered soon only 6 weeks left for flowering : o

    I'm not sure about the other questions but when pruning you should make the cut about half way down the stem of the leaf. You may also want to pinch the end shut as this can be a site for mould. The remaining stem should fall off on it's own in time.

    1 - It can be done approx. two weeks before harvest. Earlier is ill adviced since the fan leafes perform photosynthesis which convert the ferts into for the plant usable substances. When flowering the plant need all the ferts they gonna get and removing fan leafes will disrupt budding. At the final phase it's ok to remove some leafes to give the lower branches more light.

    2 - For the big fan leafes: no. They hardly contain any THC. You probably need a few 100 kilo's to extract a few gram of hash. You can save, however, the smaller leafes from the buds, with the chrystal coating but still you'll need alot to get a few grams of hash.

    3 - Do it close to the stem.

    Peace.
