Nodes and Leaves that don't receive light, cut off ?

Jannis_Botanicumstarted grow question 4y ago

So my plant has grown pretty big in last few weeks and theres just alot of leaves ans nodes that i think are useless to the plant because they barely get any light, and bending them towards the light doesnt work because they grow too slow. CAN and/or SHOULD i cut them off ?

Either try bending the main stem away from the centre to let better light hit lower growth or remove a couple of big fan leaves. Good luck

Pollination question! Help please!I have two tents side by side. Both have inline fans installed with filters. 6 female plants, 1 male, how likely is it for pollen to wind up in with my girls if I keep the male in a separate grow tent? I want to selectively pollinate branches so I still have good bud too.

Doing something wrong?As this is my first grow, I’m just curious if I’m doing something wrong. These are both the same strain but aren’t growing the same. Why do they look so different? The plant in the second pic didn’t have any LST, the other did. Am I screwing something up?

Are these calyxes or do I have a herm?I'm noticing these on my plant. They all have pistols coming out of them so I don't think they're pollen sacs. I did find some pistols have changed orange this morning but it could be a fan that was blowing on them (yeah, I know I gotta fix that). 1st grow so I'm concerned.

Should I trim the fan leaves on this 43 day old plant?The plant is about half the size of the other of the exact same strain. Just curious if I should trim quite a few fan leaves to allow light in. First 2 pics are of the bushier one, second 2 are of the one with better light distribution.
