Hello all, I posted recently about 10 days ago of having some bug issues. Did tons of research as well as tried a few trial and error. I was having a big issue with black carpenter ants and I believe aphids. I come to find out the best solution was Diatomaceous earth( food grafe) I covered the plants literally. Seems to solve the issue. I now come to yall about whether I should be trimming the lower to hell push growth up?! I heard alot of pros and cons. But I'd like to hear advice from more season growers. I tried a different technique. By forcing all the branches out to get more sunlight and it shot up like crazy. What's the next step? This was only a 10 day time period of growth
I tend to defoliate indicas which fill in the center so much only the top few leaves get light. Sativa grows very differently and them I leave alone until flowering. With your plant it has no light or air issues so I'd just let it grow until you see a reason to do some trimming.
