im growing with the cfls and the plants doing awesome but the huge fan leaves seem to be blocking light on the lower branches should i cut them off? sorry no pic
no! the fan leaves are where the plant receives it's light (food). you would slow growth down a lot by cutting these off prematurely.im growing with the cfls and the plants doing awesome but the huge fan leaves seem to be blocking light on the lower branches should i cut them off? sorry no pic
the only fan leaves i would cut off are ones that are completely yellowing and would otherwise basically fall off themselves.I started trimming mine about 4 weeks into flower and have had no probs with it. The plant will go into minor shock if you trim alot but that seemed to last about 30 min.
the big leaves , lolok hold on fan leaves?
what kind of lighting do you have...if you have hid thats cool.....if you have cfls.....you need way more....like 2 or 3 23 watts per plant......Say I had a set up like this...
(plant) (plant) (plant) (plant)
(bulb) (bulb) (bulb) (bulb)
(plant) (plant) (plant) (plant)
But the bulb is hanging over top.
Would it be a good idea to put it so the top of the bulb (as in the base, but top since it is upside down) equal to the tops of the plants leaving the spiral bulb part to be going down the plant? Or not matter at all.
Does that make sense?
