sebinostarted grow question 5 years ago

Hey guys at this stage, I have a doubt. Do I remove the bigger fan leaves, or do I keep them? What Is the difference between the two ways in terms of growth?

Just like Cbalderson60 said, you definitely want to leave those leaves alone. I don't defoliate until the fan leaves are blocking bud-sites or they get thrown into a ScrOG and I shave their legs below the screen, but that's just how I do it. Even with periodic, targeted defoliation, I wouldn't start that until you're at least 10-12" tall, depending on how short you plan on keeping them. Everyone has to find their own way, but I'm just happy to give you the advice that has worked for me. Looking excellent so far and looking forward to seeing how she comes along. Happy Growing!

Hi mate, no defoliation, unless it is blocking more light than it is absorving. Ed Rosenthal says this, not me. =)

No those fan leaves are still providing energy for the plant. If you removed the fan leaves all you doing is slowing down growth till plant grows more leaves then it will start growing faster again. Now if those leaves where on bottom and top canopy is shading them yes cut them off when showing signs of yellowing. A green leaf is healthy and still benefiting the plant.

Are my leaves getting burned?Hi peeps, here's the thing.The "bottom" of my leaves started to look kind of like they're dry. The PH is perfect 5.6 for hydro, I worry that the super low humidity of around 30 has something to do with it. The temp doesn't get hotter than 27C, at night around 18.Water temp is 21C

Difference in size between two plants in Week 1 Hello fellow growers! Does anyone know why there is quite a difference in the size of leaves between the two seedlings? They were planted at the same time and are treated the same. Could it be a defective seed or will the smaller plant catch up later?
