Divide the process into several thoughtful steps. This will reduce stress on the plant. Cut off only the top of the young cannabis when the plant has entered the growing season and sufficient foliage has formed on its trunk. The cannabis top is the most potent part of the plant. You do not need to cut it, because, after a while, it is there that high-quality cannabis cones are formed. It is better to cut off unnecessary leaves of cannabis in the daytime than in the evening because it will take the whole day to perceive the sun`s energy and recover.
