The plant is 6 weeks old after germination. There are alot of fanned out leaves, The question we have is Should I cut the fanned out leaves and will it hurt the plant if I do? I have seen people cut the top about 4 inches down. Is this necessary because i would really hate to cut my plant up especially now that it is growing little white hairs on the top and on the colas. The only reason I want to know if it is safe cutting the fanned out leaves is because they are blocking light from some of the colas and if I do need to trim them do i cut it at the main stem? Will it hurt it if I do not trim it much only the leaves that are in the way?
