Only deleaf your plant according to its leaves deteriorating naturally, diseased or wind burned. You should not cut more than 1 fan leaf and a time unless they are the very bottom ones near the cotyledons, then up to 3 if they are old and show signs of yellow or dry crisp when feeling them. If your leaves are yellowing more than 2 leaves or 3 every several days, you have a problem with your plants health.if the leaves are not yellowing from the bottom up first, you've got a problem with your plants health. Here are my latest 3 King kong strains. 2 are hermie, but I have enough experience to manage them decently. I don't mind hermie because the advantage is they usually grow bigger and with massive top buds if you give them enough light up there. But even lower buds if you wnt them to get bigger too. When plants are tall, its even more important to have lower lights because of the limited range of high quality light. You can see the range with your hand, its usually lower than what light sellers claim. The shortest one is the only pure female, so far. The other relatively short one at the far end is hardly hermie, and the center tallest one is still a manageable hermie but starting to get annoying. I just trimmed a massive lower fan leaf on the center hermie, but I only trim right during watering time because cutting or injuring the plant helps it transpire, it also helps air get to the soil especially if they grow leafy like mine. Watering is best when the plant transpires more than usual and always cut early in the morning and try to keep waterings no later than early afternoon.
