Hey guys, this is my second grow and first time doing a manifold.
Untill now I have removed all side shoots and only left the 8 main branches. But now that I'm getting close to the end of stretch I don't know if I should remove them. And let the bud form only on the main branches.
I can't decide because the buds on the offshoots are more developed than the little one on the main stems. I attached a picture so you can see what I'm talking about. Red is the offshoot/side branch. And blue is small bud waiting to form on main stem.
Because of this difference in development I'm afraid of cutting it off. But I think I will go forward with cutting the side branch.
What do you guys recommend?
