I'm getting 4 - 5 days out of my nutrient solution (10lts). there is only about 30mm of solution left - plants must be loving it
Trying to decide if I should thin out some of the fan leaves to get some more light into the center of the plant ... or just let it go and see what happens.
Day 58 - decided to thin out some of the fan leaves from the center of the plant.. Took a large amount of leaves off ... although from the photos there is hardly any noticeable change. However one day on and the lower buds are getting noticeable larger.

tdriverstarted grow question 7 years ago
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.
