Excess leaves!! Can I chop?

Samanistarted grow question 6y ago

I’m currently in week 5, slowly starting the flowering stage. Our plant has a lot of leaves and I’m not too sure if I can remove some as it’s taking up too much space from my grow room which is big enough to store a 25L pot. Could you please assist me with this.

I wouldn’t cut leaves during flowering. The more leaves, the more light it can absorb, the more it can absorb, the more bud.

You can remove fan leaves that are blocking light to lower branchs / bud sites. If you are growing autoflower then don't over do because they short life time gives them less times to recover from an excessiv defoliation

What do you mean by removing the shaded ones? I have bigger leaves and some new leaves which have grown, can I cut them too?

Defoliation of Fan leaves. The COBRA's growth structure is very tight nodes with large, Indica-type fan leaves. The largest one (3rd pic) has tripled in size from the last photo. I have been bending the leaves under side-branches. Can or should I cut them off to allow light in?
