Week 2.5 in flowering. New grower.

[BarbwiredTN]

Hello. Looking for tip or tricks. I may have gone prune happy at a wrong time? I have these 3 varietys of photos. Its closing in on week 3. They've stretched some so I'm using tomatoe cages to stretch apart some branches, not much needed. Over the past 2 weeks(ish) I'm wondering if I've gone prune happy. I've removed a vast majority of the fan leaves. Did some more just now but figured I better ask the pros bc I'm seeing baby buds. Have I screwed up this grow with pruners?

Hey there! Looks like you really stripped them down.....so.....that'll be why they are quite slow, probably didn't stretch all that much. The plant needs all its 'solar panels' until about day 18-22 of flowering. Thats usually when you can go in and remove some fan leaves that block out the light to the lower bud sites.

Just go easy on them now, don't remove anymore leaves and they should bounce back. Keep taking pics for your records, next grow you can compare the differences! Cheers

so my lights I've been graduating weekly . I'm at 77% right now. Are you suggesting I go ahead & crank it up to 100% now AND put the pruners down for good? Lol Cutting off the leaves giving shade is what made me go mad to start with. But I guess I went all OCD prematurely.

I would think 70% would be perfect at this stage. Give them another week to recuperate, and see if you can increase the light at that time.
