L/H seedling looks a little distorted but still healthy - R/H plant has now produced roots from the bottom of the cage. Have moved light to 58cm and turned on the bloom side of the light as well - was reading that some growers leave the lights on bloom for the whole grow - wait and see what happens. Temp. is getting a little too hot (40c) in the afternoon when the sun comes through sky light and shines directly onto the tent .. so have installed exhaust fan that comes on in the afternoon and seems to be keeping the temp at a reasonable level (28-30deg c).. still hand watering. 11 Days - both plants now have roots protruding from the bottom of the baskets and are going strong - the L/H one is the smaller one, but it sprouted later than the other and now seems to be doing OK. R/H plant has now produced its first set of five fingered leaves - will probably top it soon. Noticed a little leaf curl on the R/H plant .. could be heat stress or just an anomaly will keep an eye on it .. humidity is around 51% and have moved the lights to 60cm above the top of this plant just in case. We are have very high outside temperatures at the moment (heat wave conditions) for this part of Aussie and that is not helping either, but those conditions should be over early this week. The solution is maybe too warm at 29deg C.. so have opened the tent up and hopefully this will help in lowering the temp. Have placed a small bowl of water on the floor of the tent to increase the humidity 12 days R/H plant topped this morning, now just waiting for the L/H one to catch up a little. End of 2nd week - both plants have picked up - the one I was worried about (R/H) is now looking as it should Things are going well Have changed to 600watt LED

Hi there .. Is it a good idea to thin out some of the fan leaves during the flowering process, to allow more light into the lower and center parts of the plant? If so, does this slow down the plant growth in any way? Thanking you in advance

Good idea : if your plant is healthy, if your colas are close from each other, if your lower branches are in the shadow, if your airflow is blocked by some leaves. Bad idea : if your plant is ill / suffering from nutrients deficiency or nutrients-burn, if you remove too much leaves at the same time. Hope everything is going well, keep up the good work and happy harvest!

My theory is if they plants are doing well, then there is no problem to fix. They look great, all you will do is add time and stress. >surface area of leaves = >photosynthesis. Let mother nature run the show if you can.

Yes you can thin it out a bit, which naturally causes some stress and can lengthen flowering a bit depending on how much stress. If you want to play it safe, take a few a day to allow for some recovery time. She maybe wont even notice :) If you think about it, you're removing a leaf or two to allow light to reach some lower growth which will eventually grow bigger and add leaves and a greater surface area. So I believe it can be good in such situations, especially if your lady seems to be happy.

Looking awesome i defoliate all the way through little at a time in flower though looks like she could do and would benefit from it💪

@biggreens420, thanks .. I've decide to thin out some leaves in the middle - I did take quite a large amount, andthe plants hardly look any different - but the buds i have exposed certainly do
