I have a plant 4 weeks into flower. Can I pinch off some of the flowers not getting much light at the bottom of the canopy to produce more energy to the top colas? Will pinching them now do me any good? Would it hurt my plant? Please let me know what you think
No it will not hurt your plant. Do not pinch off a lot. Just the small popcorn sized buds at the bottom of the plant.
It is standard practice for me. Otherwise you are left with a total nightmare on harvest day trying to sort all that out. And you're right, the plant is putting energy and resources in to growing those little buds. Pinching them out allows those resources to go to the bigger buds that are way easier to trim on harvest day
