Prune Plants (Continued)

Fruiting Plants (Ongoing) (Continued)

Controlling Spreading

Use scissors to cut branches that hang outside the edge of Lamp Hood.. Make cut so branch is no more than 3” beyond outer edge of

Lamp Hood.

Herbs with Upright Main Stem – Sometimes an early pruning of plants such as basil, will encourage plants to branch out, rather than grow straight up.. For plants that will benefit from this, you should…

•Follow main stem up from

base of plant past 3 sets of leaves..

NOTE: There may be more than one stem in the Grow Pod that needs pruning.

•Cut main stem just

above 3rd leaf set..

•Weekly pinching of plants just above uppermost set of leaves (growth point)

at top of stem will also encourage plants to grow

and branch out..
