Hey everyone, I am growing a northern lights autoflower. I have topped my plant once early in growth and it has been budding for 2 weeks or so now. I know it is smart to take off the lower branches that don’t see much light to transfer for energy to the main colas but I’m unsure how many I should take off. I have 2 main colas growing nice and high. but there’s so many side branches growing up that are small. I’ve counted around 12. Most of these branches reach the top of the canopy but are significantly smaller than the main 2. I don’t want to cut anything that count turn out nice later on in flower. Any input is appreciated Thank you
Don't take off anything that isn't already dying or dead. You're not even supposed to top an auto. The big fan leaves are your plant's solar panels. It needs them. Leave them where they are.
