I grow one per truss and cut everything else off. As soon as I am sure that my blossom took, I will cut off all others and go down to one. Some guys are different but I think you can tell which blossom you know is going to be a good one long before they start opening. I cut those others little buggers off. Hope this helps.

do you then go down to one per plant or can you grow more than one on a plant.

Most people do 1 per plant, but there are some that do 2 or 3. I only do 1. As soon as I see the blossom took and I like it I cut off everything else.

Don't cut your small blossoms off too early. You can use pollen from them to help pollinate the megablooms.
