Pruning and Training your Plants with Swami Select | How To Grow Cannabis Outdoors EP7

Swami Select are back and in this episode they articulate the importance of pruning your plants, from cleaning the lower branches for sufficient airflow, to removing unwanted yellow and brown leaves as they develop later in the season.

These techniques are applied to increase airflow through the plant and to avoid the build-up of moisture which would otherwise lead to powdery mildew and mould.

With a variety of low-impact and high-impact training methods available for your plants; Swami looks at topping, trellising and cutting back the water towards the end of the grow cycle to encourage the plants to finish up and ensure that their flowers are at their peak.

    I love these type of videos shout out to Nikki and swami definitely the outdoor goats ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿชฌ

  4. @Preetika07 on August 25, 2025 at 3:12 pm

    Bro u dont know that u should harvest only the upper half first that has bigger buds and leave the lower half for a month so u get buds all same size

  5. @MartinSage on August 25, 2025 at 3:13 pm

    Best Videos on growing Outdoors!!!๐Ÿ˜Š

    Back in the 70’s i had a little book on Growing Weed. (Then we mainly smoked Afgan, Moroccan or Nepal Hash) The book had a chapter on putting a screw or nail near the base to stress it.
    I’m into letting the plant grow up and pruning to focus it’s energy. Soil prep is as important as plant care. Happy Smoking๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Love your channel very informative. I canโ€™t find any information on the Internet about suckers growing on cannabis. Iโ€™m growing outside in northeast United States and every plant I have has an extreme amount of suckers and if I cut them all off, Iโ€™m afraid I wonโ€™t have any bud sites at all, your experience with this thank you if you could reply, Iโ€™ll be grateful

  7. @n3y3g04 on August 25, 2025 at 3:13 pm

    and so on….

  8. @markfcoble on August 25, 2025 at 3:15 pm

    Easy to grow, don’t over think it. Big hole, good soil and water….. occasionally using compost tea. Simple.
    Good technique here, thanks.

  9. @useuheheksidhhd on August 25, 2025 at 3:17 pm

    Your voice look like sadguru in India. Nice well explained

  10. @KushDaddy333 on August 25, 2025 at 3:17 pm

    I’ve noticed that the plant will very much tell you when to reduce the water in the final stages of bud. At least, if you’re really tuned into your plants. And let’s face it, who isn’t tuned into their plants by the final stages?
    If you’re anything like me, you’ve babied them since they were little sprouts? No word of a lie, I always feel badly cutting them down.
    That’s why I always Thank Them, before I do. โค๏ธ
    After all, I’ve grown them specifically as medicine. And they’ve grown to be just that. I do speak to my plants. And before they moved outdoors permanently, I would play classical piano music for them at night. You might think that sounds stupid or silly, but I am telling you they responded in a positive way. I even discovered they had a preference for Mozart piano concertos. My wife used to think I was off my rocker. Ha ha ha! But even she couldn’t deny the results.
    I only grow enough for my own medicinal use. But of course, I do share with my family and friends, as here in Communist Canada, they do allow us to grow up to 12 plants at a time.
    I prefer to grow most of my yearly needs out on my balcony. I have a South West facing apartment, so the Sun is just perfect. And as I’m disabled, I’m able to be at home and monitor my plants carefully, as the balcony can get so hot the plant pots dry out on an nearly hourly basis during the hottest part of the day. It’s August 2nd as I write this, and the first signs of bud are making themselves known. It’s a good day!
    So far I’ve very much enjoyed this series. The production value has far exceeded my expectations. I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting, but it wasn’t the high value content I found. Thanks for your efforts!
    Experience has taught me, when seeking Wisdom, go to your Elders.
    Which is why I choose this channel today.
    And indeed, Wisdom in abundance, was what I found.
    You have a new subscriber in me. I hope to enjoy much more of your content in the future.
    Peace! โœŒ๏ธ

    I love these videos. Thank you! I will be growing outdoor next season and this series has really motivated me to grow in mother nature….

    … So when Swami starts using and talks about zip ties, I was taken aback. I would have thought for the years of growing and how in tune Swami Chaitanya and Swami Lastreto are, they would be using zip ties.
    Forgive my naivety and ignorance, but I would have imagined the use of hemp rope or something else natural to secure the trellises.

  21. @breannalee7762 on August 25, 2025 at 3:28 pm

    None of the other videos explained it so well as you did

  22. @loltaha7164 on August 25, 2025 at 3:29 pm

    Video is amazing and u guys make a great team โค

  32. @bahramabedinpour372 on August 25, 2025 at 3:44 pm

    Hi. It’s better to bend the top to break because in you have bacteria under your nail it will go inside the main juice circle like blood circulation of the plant and kill the plant or make it sick then the production will be bad.

  33. @thchighflyerz on August 25, 2025 at 3:45 pm

    How many times do you top for big plants

  34. @chronicwizardmargol7265 on August 25, 2025 at 3:47 pm

    Thank you!

  35. @OutDaGateFiji on August 25, 2025 at 3:47 pm

    In the climate i live in newfoundland on the east coast of canada there is weeks and weeks that go by in my greenhouse where i dont water i find where i live everytime you water in esrly summer is over watering the plant by the time flower starts im watering 2 times a week but then in September i have to go back to watering only once every 14 days…….i know it sounds so crazy after growing indoors and being on such a strict schedule but growing outdoors or in a greenhouse you have to really liste. To what the plants are tell you

  36. @matthunt7390 on August 25, 2025 at 3:48 pm

    I like to call it "cuttin the duff"

    Also, kyle has taken things to a whole new level with it…dont be afraid of new techniques like chiropractic snapping of node sites to promote super stomas that will never lock out. I know it looks and sounds soooo wrong but, as with many things in life, there are many possibilities for success, even in failures.

  37. @clutchhaze1036 on August 25, 2025 at 3:49 pm

    Would love to see a video showcasing different cannabis strains being trimmed, with a breakdown of each section of the plant being explained in depth.
    I want to learn as much as I can about each part of the plant, along with what should or shouldn’t be trimmed.

  38. @ratslayer6064 on August 25, 2025 at 3:54 pm

    Thank you for your knowledge Mr. Swami, Sir!

  39. @jeromed2 on August 25, 2025 at 3:59 pm
