there are many theories on pruning, some don't do it , most take out all
the tertiary which are later in the plants developement( when your plant
starts to run that first vine is your primary then off that primary... side
vines or also called secondairies will grow then off those secondaries you
pinch the starts of the tertiary vines......most growers pinch all these
off and only let grow the main primary and secondaries.............as these
secondaries reach the diameter perimeter you desire cut there tips to stop
growth and bury............its weird but all you see are leaves sticking
out of the ground as there vine is burried.......everyone follows this
process to their own degree............brock
