D.orinoco flower
I am having trouble searching this forum, I am not sure about cutting off this flower bud. I think its time it has not been making anymore fruit but the plant is in a fight for survival and I dont want to make anymore stress for it.
this plant is in a makeshift greenhouse and is going through extreme temp changes up too about 115 during day and as low as 32 at night. So should i leave it alone for another month or cut this flower off now? Thanks for any advice on this I am not familiar with this part at all. |

Re: D.orinoco flower
I cut the bud stem off about 3 inches past the last viable female fruits.

Re: D.orinoco flower
I actually have started pruning bunches and started taking the bud and the bottom 2-3 hands. I tend to get longer, fuller fruit.
