Lol if not removing fan leaves then what do you defoliate?

Stems. Everyone knows that. Lol jk. Im as lost as you

I just took enough off to let plenty of air and light get to the bottom half of the plants
You remove the entire branchs but not the fan leaves , what I call sucker Branch's because they never produce shit but suck the life out of the plant.
But leave the fan leafs on the terminal stem where it develops under the side branch you cut out. The whole point of trimming is to divert energy from one part of the plant to another part of the plant. If you allow the plant to develop energy in one direction then it can no longer be diverted and must be allowed to develop , if not you lose production.

Not.lollypop okay but stop by week 2 of flowering or damaged leafs witing the canopy. Think of them as solar panals

36 days into flowering today.
Found 3 bananas on 2 plants
Ive found them in time i think so theyve been plucked off and hopefully i didnt miss any

Is there anything causing stress to the plants?36 days into flowering today.

Are these from femanized seeds?
If so I would destroyed those plants after the run is over. Your plants look healthy , you are doing a good job.

All feminized seeds. Not quite sure as to what caused it but the only thing i could think of is the defol i did. Will be getting rid and not re-running them when done.
Thanks mate
I get into debates all the time about femanized seeds vs non femanized seeds, they seem to not be as stable and hermi, that's not always the case. The only company I would trust with a femanized seed is dinafem, they are actually a outstanding seed company.
There is nothing like waking up one day to find your whole grow has become a accidental breeding project .
It's not hard to sex regular seed plants,
It helps make sure you have stable plants that do not hermi on you. That does not mean they cannot, just less likely

Ive yet to dable in Regular seeds but i do have some lined up. I think your right as ive read in many places that people say feminized seeds arent as stable as Regular seeds ive just yet to take the dive.
Have grown dinafem blue cheese and it was so good. Best harvest ive had so far
There regular cheese is a very good plant and good producer.
They have good solid genetics.
How old is your light bulb in bloom?

This would be its second crop
Your plants should have a little more stretch to them and depth of cola.
With a 600 watt HPS you should be killing it. Like three pounds a run or so with just a medium producer.
I like the 600 a lot.
Many are growing on here for the width of canopy and not the depth of the canopy.
Light intensity, penetration and equal distribution of the light , along with constant steady airflow through the canopy will develop the buds deeper into the plant, you can not have a canopy so thick the light can not penetrate it though or the air.
The fan leaves are the solar panels that develop bud, these fan leaves develop along the terminal stems just under out cropping Branch's . If you remove the branch and leave the terminal stem with the fan leaves on it and pinch to top for five weeks in a row you will divert the energy the plant has from the end of a very small branch to the terminal stem feeding the bud site with a lot more food and water allowing the light tonpentrate deep into the plant to allow a large bud developing instead of a small bud developing out at the end of a small branch full of crappy leaves , this also allows the light to penetrate.

The third after this crop will have a significant reduction in production.
As compared to a new bulb.
I don't care who made the bulb or how much you paid for it.
Best to always have a fresh bulb, cheap one doesn't matter the new bulb will pump out light intensity. They all start losing intensity after you plug them in.
A new bulb insures maximum intensity at all tines. It only takes a couple of grams in lost production to purchase a 20 dollar bulb

Yeah i know man ive only started training my canopy this run so im just getting the hang of it. My mistake was not letting them get a bit more height before switching to flower but i couldnt wait any longer lol need some dollar hah. Thanks for the great info man much appreciated
At one ft a normal plant, except some indicas , will stretch to a high of around three ft. With a six hundred what enclosed tent you can penetrate the light about that deep into the canopy,
So there is no need to grow a plant much taller than that, but you want them at least that tall to utilize the full depth of the light, .
Do not think just because you cut a bunch of Branch's off you will hurt your production. The reverse is true of that.
You will just divert the energy and allow the light and air to penetrate the canopy for larger bud development.
