Hello.. Hope you are well.. If u take away said thin stems will it leave a gap in ur canopy? .. If its tight spaced around her branches then remove it.. If its filling a gap then just leave it their.. Its a matter of preference really.. Sum ppl wud remove it to create more growth to other area's and let more air circulation around ur buds wen forming.. Looking great so far.. Keep up the good work n stay safe.. 👍🍀

Thinning the Fan Leaves?When (if ever) should I thin out the fan leaves? It's my understanding that removing the majority of the fan leaves will help direct growth towards the buds, but I don't want to do this process too early. The plant is currently outside and in its 7th week of growth.

What do you guys look for when it comes to harvesting? I have a jeweler's loupe but my hands are too shaky to use. Was thinking Yellow Marker was getting close since her pistils are receding into her buds and she is nice and fat. But I definitely don't want to cut her down early.
