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

LST trim??Things are getting a bit cramped with my LST. Some fan leaves are buried under others or are on the ground. Should I trim some lower fan leaves to give it room to breathe? Or should I let it rock as long as they are not blocking any light?

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :) Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁 Share your experience and urban legends

I have 3 leaf problems. Look at the Day 26 pictures. The leaf closest to the fan has two tones. A closeup on day 25. The tip of one is yellow. Furthest from the fan, a leave has brown spots (I'm thinking a water drop caused a burn). Thoughts? Also, how do I raise the humidity?

Weird growth This plant keeps growing in a weird way, the main stem is not straight and the new stems are not symmetric as normal. I've had similar growth problems on beginning of my other Blue Bullet grow, can this be only genetic problems?
