Pruning Indoors

If you’re starting seedlings indoors for spring or growing a hydroponic crop, you know that sometimes things can get a little out of hand. Take a good look at what you’re growing and do a little strategic trimming and pruning now to create healthy, well-formed plants later.

Tall, spindly plants should be pinched back to encourage more lateral, bushy growth.  Be sure to leave two or three sets of leaves on the plants.

Long, branching stems can be cut back to the central stalk, particularly if they are not producing flowers or fruit.

Any weak, diseased, or damaged leaves or branches should be removed immediately to prevent further problems.

After pruning, feed plants with a weak foliar solution of Big Bloom to help them recover and charge ahead!
