Can I just remove all these fan leaves now that th...
The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
The leaves are responsible for photosynthesis. Your plants are always better off the more leaves they hold onto. Only cut off a leaf if:
It's blocking light to bud sites
You need to open the plant up for airflow
The leaves themselves are getting no light so can't be productive
The leaves are sick and dying
As part of a whole other training method, like lollipopping
Otherwise, she's better off with the leaf.

First I like to try the tuck in method but if I have to remove them I take the ones that are covering any bud sites and the ones that are not getting any direct light or if they hang down wards remove them as well. Think of the fan leaves as solar panels they are the main producer of photosynthesis they convert all the starch into sugars so don't take all of them off.

They have a purpose, they are absorbing the light. That being said I take them off if they’re covering bud sites or to improve airflow.

What to do with fertilized colasI've got a few colas that were pretty clearly fertilized due to an overheating issue weeks ago... is there any disadvantage to leaving them in? Would these seeds be worth keeping? (I seem to remember someone telling me years ago that this could create feminized seeds)4 years ago

Declining soil level in pots - top them off?When I set up the pots for my outdoor grow I filled them about 1" below the top of the container. Since then, the soil mix has settled to the point where it is now about 4" below the rim of the pot. Do I need to be concerned? Should I be topping it off?

More water?I watered the plants on the day of the transplant, 5 weeks ago, and never again. The girls are fine and growing up but something does not return to me, (the ground is full of perlite (15%) and the pots have never been exposed to rain). They could have grown more with more water?Week 7
