Pruning lower growth out doors?

[ston-loc]

Just curious. I've read a lot of you guys/girls, will cut out a lot of lower growth pre-flowering cycle to get air flow, light penetration, and focus energy to the top bigger sites.
Do you do this out doors too? Have LST'd my girls and they are super bushy. Have lots of lower growth and was just wondering what you all do. If you do the same OD as you do ID. Here's a pic of my girls as of tonight. Still have a little while until flower comes. Though the back center one has seemed to kick to flower early.... Have tons of growth sites, just a random poll i guess for you OD growers...

I never prune my grows just LST them. With the Sun being the light source you don't lose any light strength to the lower bud sites

Thanks Ozzy. That's what I was thinking, being suns stronger OD. And the LST has a ton of bushy growth, seems pruning lower grow sites defeated the purpose of LST'ing a bushy plant... :aok:

as I love me buddy ozzy....I prune all lower stuff as well as crap growthinside the pant..I do leave the big fan leafs..removeing the inside crap that wont amount to much anyway is benificial to the yield..IMO

I only take anything close to the ground. The sun pounds the OD plants. Penetrates so deep, heavy pruning aint needed.
