It should be done in a clean way, avoiding the plant suffers less stress (because the plants, although it might seem false, are able to suffer stressed as well). <strong>The cut can be made with any sharpened tool<\/strong> (it is best to use pruning shears), having to disinfect this stuff previously.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%AD%90_Why_to_perform_apical_Pruning\"><\/span>\u2b50\u00a0Why to perform apical Pruning?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This pruning is carried out in order<strong> to divide the growth energy of the plant into two main branches,<\/strong> expanding in the form of an inverted cone, giving rise to plants with shrub-like characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Auxine phytohormones, which we have already mentioned in other occasions, have the function, among many others, of <strong>inhibiting the fork in the main branch<\/strong>, which stops occurring as soon as we do the apical pruning. This is due to the fact that auxins stop their realease in the meristem already cut, allowing the stem to bifurcate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the case of very <strong>photoperiod-resistant <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/en\/105-sativa-seeds-tag\">sativa strains<\/a><\/strong>, this type of pruning can do well with <strong>the control obtained over the final height of the plant<\/strong>, as well as to advance the beginning of flowering even.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, all sativa lovers should be very aware of this\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<em>I know you&#8217;re there&#8230; what do you think? <\/em>?<em> Have you practiced this technique with your Thai strains, for example?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>FIM pruning ( a name that came from \u201cFuck, I missed\u201d)<\/strong> is also apical, although the name may confuse you, it is exactly the same, the difference is that the <strong>FIM pruning takes advantage on the last knot for the plant to expand laterally.<\/strong> The hormonal impact is softer, so it is a less aggressive pruning than the purely apical, taking into account that we also eliminate less amount of plant mass. The cut is made on the young, newly formed leaves in this meristem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_How_to_do_the_apical_pruning\"><\/span>? How to do the apical pruning?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although in the market you have the right tools to perform pruning with total safety, an example of a suitable pruning stuff can be the <strong>Samurai Warrior Pruner<\/strong> which is designed with stainless steel blades and a comfortable non-slip rubber handle. It can cut branches <strong>up to 2.54 centimetres in diameter<\/strong>. It has also a safety lock and its rubber-moulded grip is durable and comfortable for continuous use.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the more branches the plant has, <strong>the more flowers it will develop in the new branches that are newly generated<\/strong> . Once we cut that top, or apical meristem, the plant will no longer grow in a straight line, starting to develop more branches in the area below the cut. We will have stronger branches and high quality buds. In addition, pruning the plant <strong>with this technique will help your crop to seize the light in the best way<\/strong>, as it will allow the plant to receive light more homogeneously than if we let it grow without prunning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_When_to_apply_it\"><\/span>? When to apply it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pruning is always carried out <strong>at the stage of growth,<\/strong> taking advantage on the highest rate of auxins release in the stem, in order <strong>to provoke a hormonal &#8220;shock&#8221; of great impact on the production of leaves and branches in lateral way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pbgreend\">This can lead to<strong> a delay in flowering in most cases<\/strong>, but in return, a more than likely increased production of buds.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>indoor crops<\/strong>, pruning decisions are made based on the final height we want for our plants in our indoor, and the whole space we have, since <strong>we will end up with lower but wider plants.<\/strong> We will always make the pruning about 10 days before the change of photoperiod, observing first the growth of the new lateral branches and the global reaction in the plant, because sometimes <strong>we can notice a &#8220;pause&#8221; in its development<\/strong>. If this happens, we have to <strong>keep the growth photoperiod<\/strong> until we see that our plants recover their vigor, and the lateral branches have acquired a certain size<strong> to start flowering with guarantees.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outdoors,<\/strong> the same, but playing with the natural photoperiod, so we will prune at the end of June, always taking into account the size of the plant. We recommend that the plant has<strong> between 80 and 100 cm height for a correct apical pruning in the outdoor crop<\/strong> without affecting negatively its development and beginning of flowering. <em>Your plants won&#8217;t let you down!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If we take into account that we are talking about <strong>photo-dependent strains,<\/strong> do so because very rarely it makes sense to prune <strong>auto-flowering chemovars<\/strong>, although we have practiced the apical prunning in those type of genetics, we think that the simple growing method they provide, is better not to apply changes on it. <strong>An\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/en\/1008-autoflowering-marijuana-seeds\">autoflowering marijuana seed<\/a>\u00a0is fast due to its Rudelaris genes<\/strong>, and we see no reason to alter its flowering cycle by pruning, otherwise, we may cause the appearance of male flowers (hermaphroditism) due to its hormonal delicacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We do not recommend apical pruning in flowering stage or in autoflowering strains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not necessary you obsess about the number of knots that the plant must have to be pruned either, because some genetics have<strong> shorter internodal distances<\/strong> defined by its genes, as may be <strong>the case of phenotypes <a href=\"https:\/\/pevgrow.com\/en\/4756-afgana\">Afghani<\/a> or Kush<\/strong>.
