Some pruning tonight before flip tomorrow evening, this is C99 before:
And after:
I start at the bottom set of main branches and take off three to five sets of nodes and side branches depending on the strain. Most plants it ends up being four. I prune symmetrically, because it makes sense and it makes me happy. The next set of main branches up I would do three nodes and then consider it, maybe keep moving up and do two then one. I usually have eight to twelve main branches in pairs so the top set or two stay unpruned, or I just take off the bottom node of a set.
Just in time for some greens in my soil bins to get them heating up and happy, they’re already cooking but this will bump it up:
