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 3 rd 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 .
