Fan leaf trim?
Sciolistic_Steveanswered grow question a year ago
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

Defoliate lower fan leaves on Autoflowering Lemon Haze???Should I defoliate a few fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant? She is very very wide and bushy. I feel like the bottom would produce some large branches and buds if there was more light penetrating. And there are so many leaves tucking only gets so much light through.

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?5 years ago

To Pune or install Support NettingAt day 47 I've noticed a significant increase in bud formation. I'm worried about light pen and support. Im running 3 plants in a 4x4 area. Should I install a net like a late Sea of Green growing style to help spread buds out for light pen and support when heavy or thin her out?
