Remove the 2 biggest fan leafs?
Seedleranswered grow question 1y ago
every flower should get as much light as possible. if lst is not possible, defoliating sounds like a good next step. I would try to tuck the leaves under the branches, if not possible i would cut 'em off 100%

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliageThese lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?Week 13

Cutting fan leavesJust cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?Leaves. Other

This plant is behaving differently than my other plants (Northern Lights, and Somango XXL) in that it is stretching for a second time this late into flowering. I can notice it the most in the center colas, but also in the exterior ones. Is this normal? Does it want more light?Week 16

Hi everybody!
I was wondering if anybody has some experience with a light on/light off schedule? 2h light, half hour dark.
For a lightcycle of 12h total.
My lamps tend to get pretty hot, seeing how they are built in a closet I don't want them to get too hot.. Advice wanted! :DWeek 1
