Large leaves covering lower branches, remove, supercrop/tucked down hard or just left for now.
Saxonstarted grow question 4 years ago
Should these type of large Sun leaves be either removed or "supercropped" down to allow more light onto the laterals growing along the bottom branches ?
Pictures are before and after holding the leaf to the side.
Plants are currently being LST and then will be ScRoged.
Cheers

It’s really a personal preference and either way is fine. I personally remove the large fan leaves off the main stem and remove the large suckers off secondary branches at very bottom to get really nice airflow. I feel that the more room the buds have to breathe and the more direct light you can give them the fatter the product. Happy Growing and good luck 👍

Trimming around buds pre week 14I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago3 years ago

What to do with veg?The plant is one and a half weeks into a 12/12 light cycle. The foilage has grown like crazy in the last week and I'd like to trim it back but I don't know if I should. I had planned on stripping most fan leaves on the 20th day of flower.
