When should i start trimming my Plant

[Shankemdirty]

So i am new to growing some of you might of seen my older posts my issue is i am not sure if i just keep letting it grow as is or am i suppose to trim the fan leaves some of the lower leaves are not getting light this is my first grow.

Hey Shakem, if she were my plant ,i wouldn't remove any leaves right now, but i would transplant her to a larger pot, you got plenty of time to remove some leaves, plus you can always tuck some of those large fan leaves behind some other leaves to allow more light in.
Thats a nice looking plant, what kind is she ?

Also are you starting to manifold it? If so ensure it is stripped below that third node. Or at least the colas coming off of it (Not on your third node). D.A.A.S. is full of useful info! He is a walking weed instructional booklet!

Haha, your knowledge far outdoes mine, still learning! Enjoy your weekend as well!

She is a Jack herer Feminized seed i am around 23 days since the seed was dropped in the soil she is in a 3 Gallon Pot fairly small right now with height i have not did any manifolding or anything like that to be honest i don't know what manifold means gotta research more.

I plan on doing the topping method in the future i did not have any nutrients up until 3 days ago so she got this far with only Tap Water she got Fed nutrients for the first time last watering with the Flora Bloom Nutrient Pack.

So i looked what manifold was i was already looking at video's of people doing that a day ago when should i start manifolding it as you can see it is not that tall at all so i am not sure if i should wait to start that process until it is a little bit taller thoughts?

There's a very detailed guide on gwe main site. You should read up how Nebula does it. Nugbuckets has a guide too and they're both easy to follow.

You will want 5-6 nodes prior to starting it. Nebula has a great article here on GWE. Follow it step by step for great results! I just thought I had seen two colas in the first pic. It will increase your yeild.

Wait till 6 nodes have grown and cut back to 3rd node, then remove everything below the 3rd node. Allow both those branches grow 3 nodes and remove the middle 2 branches leaving 1 and 3. This will give you 8 main colas, 4 on each side. Removi g the middle will leave the 1 and 3 nodes to be on the same sides making it easier to tend to as she gets bigger. Read Nebula's MANIFOLD Tutorial as this is the process I have given you. She has a great design. This is the method I'm using this time, I'm growing 2 Original Skunk #1 plants which have just sprouted. I recently just harvested 3 Northern Lights Feminized ladies. Good luck and have a great grow. By the way she's looking good healthy.

Yes, jump that Jack up to at the very least a 5 gallon pot... I recently finished a photo Jack and it was a monster! I FIM Ed mine but wish I would have manifolded it... Everyone above has given some very good advice, and take the time to read Nebulas guides on the manifolding, they will be an amazing addition to your learning. Jack will give you some very nice tight buds, and it truly is a great smoke according to my wife. Weed kitty gives it 2 paws up! She tried to give it 3 but fell off the chair.
