Pruning Cannabis

Pruning Cannabis

Selectively removing portions of the plant with the goal to allow the plant to only put energy into the parts that will produce the greatest yields.

Removing Weak Branches

FIM Technique
Instead of cleanly removing the entire growing shoot just below the bud (traditional method) the bottom 10% of the bud remains intact which allow many different flowering tops to form.
This can induce the emergence of about 8 more branches.

Sea of Green (SOG)
Focuses on flowering plants early (can be only 1ft. or ~30cm tall) with the goal of producing fewer but larger buds.

Screen of Green (ScrOG)
Uses mesh screen/netting that is layered horizontally above the plants and the growing tips grow through the material.

Lollipopping is a technique that involves removing the lower growth of the plant that receives very little to no light.

Super Cropping
Goal is to produce very heavy yields from a minimal number of plants.
