Hey those sound like some AWESOME fan leaves Farmall!
My plants tend to put out bigger fans when the're growing good, my guess is that they are completely normal.
Check out Nebulas Guide to defoliation. Ya, there are lots of opinions of removing leaves, hears mine. Plants grow some extras in the wild, to take care of the plants health, in case of attack from pests like bugs, deer, Etc. But to many leaves can hurt yield, since shading out bud sites can cause the plant to send less energy to shaded buds, also, a very leafy plant can raise the humidity in your grow room, and have a higher risk of pests and mold. So it is possible to increase yields and possibly plant health in captivity with a little defol, but if you take away some of her leaves, you know have a duty to protect the ones she's got left.

Check out what Nebula says, and follow her advice if you think the plant will need some leaves removed.

Happy growing and Harvesting!

I am looking at (3) 5 gallon hydro pots of og kush that are 4 weeks old in a few days. Around 18” tall with about 3-4 inches between nodes....topped last week. Sorry I can’t get a picture now but the fan leaves on two them are wider and longer than my hand (8” pinky to thumb). Against all other new growth, they look out of place. I read that they should stay on BUT I’ve also read to remove them. Yes they shade a bit of the lower nodes but I have tied down some tops to open up the bottom more. Not really dealing with any other problems yet. Is there a consensus on the better thing to do?

Some time ago I was very lost in this subject, and after asking many growers and forums one day I passed an article on a website that the truth made me quite clear all this mess, I leave here for you to see https://geaseeds.com/blog/en/cutting...cut-marijuana/ speaks a bit of the time to cut in general but deepen in the trichomes, perhaps you will be useful to users, good luck friends !

Hey Lunar,
When you say the trichomes are 90% amber, want to make sure you are looking at the right thing. So you have the pistils, that are the long, wispy looking things on the flower, easy to see with the naked eye, and they start out white and then curl up and wither, turning a brownish color. You also have the Trichomes, they are very small, and kinda hard to see with the naked eye, you can't see much of them without a jewelers loupe or microscope, they kinda look like tiny mushrooms, if you can magnify them enough. Well, the latter is what most people want to be mostly white when they harvest.
Only asking cause I know you just started growing, and are trying to learn( and we ALL are STILL learning, Lol!), so wanted to make sure yer lookin at the right thing.

Happy harvesting brother!!

I do harvest usually top half first, bottom half second, usually no more than a week more.. but i like to harvest when 90% milky to maybe 5 to 10% Amber... all Amber trichomes is over ripe though! You lose allot of thc doing so! But still awesome you're harvesting your first crop.. i remember my first harvest, i got an half oz maybe of pink kush. Was so awesome lol

Lunar, 90percent that's an awful lot.
But yes you can harvest the buds that are ready, and leave the others to get ripe.
Nice job with your plant, what are you gonna grow next ?

D.A.A.S. or ? I have a question about harvesting. When checking the buds/flowers on my plant I noticed that there are a couple of flowers that the trichomes are about 90% amber. When u harvest do u cut off a branch that looks ready or do u wait until the whole plant is ready? Before I just pulled up the whole plant and hung it in the basement. I see from pics people cut branches and hang them. Advise from the experts please.

hey folks! Day 28 in veg. Is everything ok with this plant? share your ideas and thoughts ^_^ when to start blooming this baby? (unknown genetics unfortunately.) i aggressively lsted it and its really bushy now as you can see in picture. I have a microgrow box and still have pretty good space in it for bloom.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Looks like possible light bleach, what light did you have her under ?
If that soil is good, I wouldn't think deficiency, Looks like they were under a hot spot. An got to much light to me,

Black Dog has buds with lots of Trichomes. BUT some of the fan leaves have curled inward and are drying up. I have not watered it other than the half gal of water with half strength nutes. Gave it MegCrop yesterday. Hope it hurries up so I can harvest it before something else happens.
It won't let me download a pic .

1-2tablespoons of unsulfered molasses to 1gallon of water, you can get the molasses at the grocery store for about 3-4bucks, make sure it's unsulfered.
That's all you will need ,use the molasses once or twice a week. GoodLuck
