Ok may sound like a dumb question but I cant get myself to take out these beautiful big leaves my girls on the start of week 4 and have taken off !! Should i trim the big leaves off to get more light to the under growth?

Very healthy looking plants HighDesertGanjaFarmer , personally, I would not defol quite yet. The energy from those fans will help them grow more for at least another week to ten days before you trim. Then do it again just before the switch assuming they are photo period. Are you going to do any training such as LST? I did both a manifold and LST which helped to keep the canopy more level and open for light penetration. Good growing!Grow # 3 50/50 S/I Critical Mass photo fem

That’s some bushy weed and I’m with Toka don’t trim the plant used a lot of energy to make those leaves only because it knew it would pay back that energy and then some plus it looks like those leaves are already trying to grow out to let in more light you’ve got a group of very healthy plants let them do their thing a bit longerComment

I do a lot of tucking of big leaves at that stage to get light to the new growth, yet not eliminate anything.Comment

Take them off - as well as a few that are on top covering up bud sites below. Do that and those bud sites you expose will become branches.3 X 3 gorilla. Promix soil . Green Planet Nutes

Say HighDesertGanjaFarmer ,I'm subbed and following you cuz now I feel invested. I'll bully you one more time. Much more info would help us help you. Lights-height o/p, Medium, Nutes, pH in and out, Environment-temp,humidity,fans,exhaust are all critical for you to monitor and inform us of when you ask a question. The best way to do this every time is to go to the Member list, find your name, click on your account, scroll down to signature and click on the checkbox. A window will open where you can enter as much info as you want then save it. Now your info will appear on each of your posts. Saves all of us time. See mine below. I'm clear...Last edited by TOKABIGONE; 03-29-2021, 06:22 PM.Grow # 3 50/50 S/I Critical Mass photo fem

Fan leaves are solar collectors. They absorb the light to feed the plant. Leave them be and start doing some plant training in a week or two. training can go a long way in increasing bud sites. Once the plant moves into flower then you could start selectively removing large leaves.I hope there is an afterlife...there are a lot of friends and family I'd like to see again, one day.Comment

Keep them until you are ready to do this

If you have high-quality lights with good penetration, leave fans on until they start stacking over one another or covering potential buds.Coconut Grove
