closetGrowstarted grow question 6y ago
I am attempting to mainline again. My first time was not too successful, but it worked out OK. The question is: Should I remove the fan leaves at this point? I did that on the last topping and it seemed to accelerate the growth, but not sure if these are big enough. thanks

hey CG, you want to leave them on , if you remove them the plant will make more of them anyway instead of growing. looks like you're heading for a good flux , as it is. growing is basically doing the bare minimum not to hinder a healthy plant. Less touching = more smoking. Does that make sense ? hope this helps ! 🚀

I prefer to leave the fan leaves as they will power the growth of the new tops.

I would like to defoliate some leaves that are blocking bud sites. I would cut max 10% of the leaves. I would do that once the nugs are really noticable (2-3weeks into flowering)
Do you think this is going to stress her out?
And do you really gain much if you cut those fanleaveWeek 8

What do you guys think about the praying leaves? The internet seems to disagree. Most people seem to think it's a good thing. Everything is in high gear and the leaves are using all of the energy to absorb light. Some camps say it's too much light and it's stressing out.Week 10

Defoliation soon after SupercroppingI am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?
