Hi, this is the first plant I’ve flowered indoors outside of a SCROG - should I remove some, most, or all of the big fAn leaves to allow light penetration below the branch tops or are the required to build buds along the branches? It’s in week four of flower - sucker never stretched - thanks

@binger No mate, the plant needs those leaves to catch light and make food Smile Leave them on the plant. Move them aside if you can, but IMO, its not a good idea to remove the fan leaves at this stage. just let the plant do its thing.

@macky ok that’s what I was thinking - just wanted to confirm - outdoors I leave most of em except those to allow “ventilation “ for mold prevention

I went nuts a few times and trimmed way too much and the results were weird, like it would like stop growing almost altogether if I over-did it

Yeah especially on my outdoor girls I just take enough greenery out to keep good airflow. My opinion they like the sun those big leaves take in
