It's kind of an art based on experience but basically as soon as the bracts lift off the last hand that I want, I will cut the rest of the bunch off. I try to cut as early as I can. I have generally found that the last 2 hands are significantly shorter than the other hands so I will typically cut the last 2 off.
I have read plenty of literature that says you don't have to debud or bunch prune, but my anecdotal experience says other wise.
I shoot for
5 Hands on Hua Moa
5 Hands on Macho Plantains
8 Hands on Nam Wah
8 Hands on Gran Nain
8 Hands on FHIA-17
