16 Days - have changed nutrient over for a fresh one and added some extras that just arrived in time.. R/H plant looks ready to take off and the little old L/H seems to have become a very strong plant although a little shorter. Have topped the L/H one now and taken some leaves off the R/H plant. At the end of the third week and everything is looking good - made and installed the frame - changed out nutrients still on veg

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
