Hello All - My buddy gave me some clones in June and they had already started their preflowers. They were in 1 gallon pots, so I put a few in the ground in my greenhouse and the others are in 10 gallon pots. I live on the West Coast, British Columbia. My question is regarding the 'mass' accumulation of leaf material and the starting of buds at the base of the plant. Mold has started to arrive around the bottom of the plant and it's only August. Am I better off to strip/cut the lower bud formations and let the rest of the plant develop like a 'normal' plant? I read that stripping lower branches can be good for the plant where the energy is focusing on the main colas of the plant. Basically the plants look like they did when he gave them to me in June, including the new growth which is about 4ft of new branches and bud formations. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about, I can send you a picture if you want. Thank you, Dean
