Wished i lived in Cali!! Altough i cant complain living in the Netherlands hehe.
Nice plants keep on growing!!
Also cutting of branches mid to late flowering wil actually harm the plant more then it helps.
It takes energy to heal, wich it takes from growing buds!!
But i am always guilty as wel lol (A)
It might set you back a few days flowering.
Best to do that trick while vegging, definitely works.
Have a nice day!!
