hi guys just been thinking.
the top of mt plant is coverd in fan leaves, blocking most of the light penertraiting threw for the undergrow..
the bunched up leaves are blocking the big bud sites underneith. there in week 3 of flower.
im sure them leaves are begging me to pull them off ,so that all of the underneith can come threw?
any help cheers, peace :bigjoint:
 
u WILL regret that. dont do it ur leafes hold ur nutreints, turn them in to energy and then produce ur buds. UR CUTING THE EINGINES off!! ive MISTAKENLY thought the same thing on my first grow :sad::sad::sad: ALLL BAD.
 
IF anything just pull them aside gently with sum string or sumthin! dont cut em dood, fer the sake of the BUDS dont cut em!!
 
What Fuzzybudz said. Also, if you REALLY must cut them, dont cut them off, just slice down the middle and leave them connected.
 
DO NOT REMOVE FAN LEAVES

You can bend them gently out of way, you can LST the plant to open up the center But remember that the fan leaves are what makes the buds so removing them WILL reduce your overall yields
 
lol cheers, il be leaving them alone now.. so would side lighting be the best option..
also some of the fan leaves nearest the light crack wen i pinch them..
take it they might be a bit close to the light? thanks

Click to expand...

Yes they are too close. Also I would maybe try some LST and bend them outwards that way light can penetrate down to the lower parts easily.
 
yea that could b sum heat damage, piks would help. but side lighting is the BEST idea, LSTing and all that DOES cause unnessisary STRESS, that u daont want.
 
yea its 15 inch away from the 400 hps now use have said.. it was at 10..
yea quick pic from last week..:leaf:

Plant is looking good, I don't see any penetration problems

Keep her green, dial in your variables and she'll do just fine
