No, but try to fold the big leaves under the side branches so they get more light :)

Hi 🙋‍♂️ Die Antwort ist nein. 💚 Ich gehe davon aus dass Du deine Pflanze nicht getopt hast ? Entferne nur alte und kranke Blätter. Versuch die Pflanze etwas in die richtige Richtung zu biegen und abbinden. Bei Fragen melde dich einfach.

There are a couple of theories on defoliating the sucker leaves. Some people prefer to tuck them under the other nodes to allow more light penetration down through the plant. In the case of the two large sucker leaves below the top node, I would just tuck them down inside the other growth. But, if it is just blocking too much light, then you can remove those leaves. Better yet, try some Low Stress Training (LST) to shape the plant to expose as much light to lower nodes as possible. Those leaves are the "solar panels" of your plant, catching light and turning it into chlorophyll.

Train plant !!! Expose branches to direct light coverge, let those shoots rest on ducker/reposition leaves stems, that will give extra support for them. Do such trainings before watering !!! That way all branches will stay not cracked or ripped . Too early for any clearing.

Absolutely not! She needs those leaves to produce energy and grow properly. With size of them it would surely slow growth down to cut them off being so young. Be patient and let the plant grow, get some size, and develop more before doing anything. Realize the roots are depending on the leaf structure to grow as well.

Nein, nein, nein! Those beautiful big leaves are making nearly all of the energy that your plant needs to grow is fastest and largest. Removing them would slow the growth and reduce your potential size and harvest yields. Maximum amount of leaves = maximum amount of energy being produced = maximum results!
