I have taken over a dozen cuttings from this 1year old mom. She is a seed from Mothi Bhen X Blueberrry Widow maybe 8 are flowering beautifully right now:) However, I need to make space for a new batch of mothers that have just germinated. This mother must go down in a blaze of glory! How do you suggest that I prune her. She was mostly inside getting sunlight through the open door+widow and on CFL at night, and she’s been placed outside (autumn here) for about a week. Her stems are grown stronger in the wind and the pre-flowers are starting to show. Now, I know that I must prune her. Please advise!
So I couldn’t sit still and buried this mother. The hole is a site of my previous kitchen waste dump (bakoshi system). Hope I didn’t prune the roots too much when I pulled her out of the bag!
it’s about 2 weeks later, and this ex-mom is now looking happy. She declined quite a bit in the first few days then stabilized and is now healthy :) This video was taken on the 7 April. And she’s happier today!
so, back to my question, what should I prune? I don’t usually prune the plants that are in the ground, just those in pots. What do you think?
Indoors, defoliation in pots is important for yield and a little health. Outdoors, it more important for health than yield. But both will give you more bud.
