dont trim em , could cause a stunt in growth and mold issues etc , if you trim slowly and cut at the stems this could be good if you dont have alot of light and want more to reach lower buds but it needs to be done slowly and you need to know wut ur doing

It would seem intuitive to leave the large fan leaves on. Don't large buds improve the probability of success for a particular plant in the wild? If so, then isn't it possible that evolution has produced the large fan leaves you see now, and done so to encourage large bud growth? Just thinking out loud—

same here, ill more than likely leave them all but dont exactly have the best of lights going on.
ALSO badly misjudged the size of my sativas, they are at the top of my tent now, think im gonna have to tie them down, could i properly fuck this up if its not spot on?

remove leaves remove vigor and stunt growth if you want to trim leaves do it 1 week b4 switching to 12\12 never during flower... tuck them away if possible don't cut em... when they turn yello gently pull on em if they fall off than good if not leave it... your cutting off a food supply with every leaf cut off
tieing down a plant is the best thing you could do for it
the fan leaves yellow toard the end of flower... why??? consumption... the plant is useing them so when they are not there where is it getting its life from.... the leaves are important espetially during flush

Hmmm,how can trimming sun leaves cause mold issues
I never trim sun leaves because they are what does the most work on the plant but the mold deal has me scratching my head a bit.

if i see a leaf getting old i pull on it very gently and if it doesn't just pull right off i leave alone... in my thinking i'm just speeding the up the process the plant was doing to shed its baggage, so she goes back to concentrating on bud growth ... but nice healthy leaves of course do not chop

have you been watering it correctly... did you cut more than 2 thirds of the plant off, do you have proper ventilation, did you over feed it. most problems will be something you did so look at what you have done in the past week and one of those things will be your problem
just all the water leaves ..all the budding points look like lil palm trees. plus i think i did overfeed one day last week. what should i do
