I would definitely. It's going to allow more air but also the light to get down to the lower bud sights . Your into week 5 now so the growth should not be effected.

GD web site issues ...Has anyone thought of taking a month off so that GD could fix the problems? We should just take July off so they have room to work. Then, if we can't send a simple image url to a friend without a 7h ban after that time, we can take august off too. Rinse and repeatOther. Other
