Tom Ford Pink Kush

Hello. The Tom Ford Pink Kush is doing great. It's a bit of a stretchy plant. Since I've turned it over to flowering it's stretched 4 to 5 inches between leaf nodes. It's very much like the Pink Kush it's crossed with (I've got a Pink Kush growing beside it). It's fairly resinous to the touch (rub test) at this stage. The smell (smelled my fingers after the rub test) is a little more candy like than the Pink Kush. >Trim/ Prune- I do my final trim/prune at 3 weeks, just before the major resin production starts. I take all the small/sucker branches and leaves off the lower 1/3 of the plant. I reduce the interior sucker branches and fan leaves for good air flow and light penetration. Yes it stresses the plant, but once the plant gets over its shock it jumps right in to flowering. Also reducing the sucker branches you get bigger top buds. I just take the fan leaves off the top 1/3 of the plant. I tie the top branches back for better light penetration. >2nd Light- I add a 2nd light at this point and unplug the light mover. General rule of thumb: the more light a bud site gets the bigger the bud. Also when you take a lot of fan leaves of, the plant is hurting for photosynthesis. And if you've done a good trim the small leaves on the buds take over the sugar production. What I mean by a good trim is- Don't take all the fan leaves off. Only take off what is blocking the light from the bud sites and what is not getting enough light. If you leave some fan leaves on the plant it won't go so deep into shock and recover much quicker. I've included some pictures to compare how much I've taken off. It's one of the hardest things to learn and Yes sometimes you can take off to much. Good Luck. Chuck.
