When my plants start budding how do I promote the buds?
Should I pluck the old leaves off?When my plants start budding how do I promote the buds?
Negative, never remove any leafs unless they are more then 50 percent damaged. You also only remove them if it helps with the style of grow you are doing, but I would never recommend cutting ANY leafs off. This stresses the plant too much.yeah, of course you can remove big, obnoxious fan leaves. There are NO budsites on fan leaves, they are only inhibiting light from getting to lower branches. the plant will carry on photosynthesis fine without them. but i wouldnt take them all off at once, only as a precaution to reduce stress on the plant though.
