the products of photosynthesis are easily transported around the plant. remove to improve air flow or if heavily shielded. don't remove the largest solar panels unless you have a damn good reason. Can always bend/shape things around them or between fingers etc once tall enough. those initial growth nodes will likely be lollipoped or larf, anway. so a little extra stretch initiall isnt a bad thing. the'll get more light within a few days of growth to worm around those leaves.

I wouldn't. Do lst instead, she needs those leaves to feed the buds & photosynthesis. Less leaves is less energy towards your eventual harvest.

I would leave them at this time. If anything lst the plant to open inside up to more light. Then defoliate anything blocking the light after bent.

Cut off the fan leaf if it's blocking a top underneath it. Or tuck it back like like a fag trying to tuck his sack back in his new target outfit. lol

Leaf it alone?So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Lot's of malformations. Second pair of leaves never appear. Then two heads... maybe a natural topping? There are little bulbs everywhere... she's lost? I prefer to wait but I don't know.

Currently 5 days since sprout on this girl, and come across an extremely weird mutation. I see no sign of a second node popping up. Has she topped herself?

Excessive leaf growth during flowering I am growing two autos (Orange Punch and Lemon Kix, both by Dutch Passion) side by side under a single 2000W Phlizon LED. Both are in week 8. The LK looks fantastic. The OP is starting to develop a lot of leaves now. This happened to my previous Orange Bud Auto as well. Why?

Late trimming?To trim or not to trim, that is the question! As I enter week 10 of my grow the canopy has be come a little crowded with some fan leaves and depriving some bud sights on much needed light. Is it ok at this late stage to clean up the canopy and remove these fan leaves? Cheers!

Defoliate the center or leave her alone?My girl is short and dense due to early manifolding and LST. The center is crowded and there's not much light penetration or air flow there, though I do have fans going. I'm tempted to defoliate some older leaves crowding the center. Don't want to stunt it, though. Thoughts?

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.

Looking at other plants, mine seems to be full of big leaves and prevents light to prime bud sites. Growing an auto with the lowest amount of stress I can give I am wondering if I should trim the leaves that prevent the most light to prime areas. Thank you
