Hello mate, looking at your diary you plant is looking awesome. I would hold off on taking them off as you need the energy to produce fat buds. If you feel her environment is detrimental due to being too bushy then I don't see an issue but I would wait till mid flower before taking anything off. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

5 Finger Death Punch Is it OK that my first set of fingers, well other then the start leaves and the two singles, came out as 5 and not 3? Sorry, I am not up on the correct terms, fingers meaning the jagged leaves. This is my first grow.

Are you betting on too much too late or good work?These last three days of the week, will be crucial to see how leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. I've pruning too much (or too late) to hope for beautiful branches full of big flowers?

Pruning fan leaves I'd appreciate any thoughts on when it would be OK to prune out just the mammoth fan leaves that shade the node spots lower down. They're like friggin' umbrellas. When, if it all, would it be safe to do so?
