Idea's On Pruning

[Oldguyrealy]

I'm very dependent on my Son to help me and some things he just does.

He gave me seeds for White Nightmare Photos. I have them in Happy Frog, 5 gallon Fiber Pots, they've been blooming a couple days, oh we did Top them.

My Son has it in his head to take all the Fan Leaves off because he says it is taking from the Buds.

I'd clean up the bottoms and lollypop them. I wouldn't take all the fan leaves though.

Those leaves help the plant have the energy to create the buds
Buds don’t grow bigger because you removed leaves
Leaves are removed to increase airflow to keep mold and mildew at bay

Learned on mold long time ago.

We have done this before I had White Widows . He was saying they didn't need 12 hours of dark. So they never got out of vegative stage. He basically took every Leaf off them.

I finally cut them and threw them away. He got mad.

Plants need their leaves! Especially in flower!

He should do some more listening.

Ha I'm an old man that don't know anything.

He was wanting to just grow Autos. Told him if I was going to buy a Tent I want to go with Photos. This is why Photos.

He is saying Autos get more variety. Me anything giving me a good buzz I'm happy.

Oh before anything said he does have Grow Permit too.

You know enough to ask informed people and listen to them
As opposed to giving bad advice

 

[Oldguyrealy]

I'm afraid he is going to pull the Leaves off while I'm not looking and then there is nothing I can do.

It sounds like you are just gonna have to sit back and enjoy the ride.

 

[Severed Tongue]

You don't need to remove anything if you have good air circulation, no bugs, and clear access for watering.

The reality is, some people like to fuck with everything, just because it's kinda boring watching a plant grow.

True need to talk and beat the kid.

All is good with them and then here he comes.

That is way beyond my pay grade
Sorry

Looks like you have several plants. Tell him that he can do what he wants to half of them and leave your half alone as it comes pruning. See what works best for y'all

I was going to suggest chopping his fingers off
But that could work too

Why stop at fingers!?

Well he helps because I only have one Arm working and it is just easier with two.

Dealing with he told me to put my fishing stuff in my car.

Well I don't have it all in there but the car is pretty full. He is wanting to put a mower in there.

Not happening.

Remove leaves if they're not getting/or to improve a more favorable branch from getting light.
Leaves which don't get any light are basically usless anyway,
There is absolutely no point in having 1m2 of leaves if only half of it is getting the light.
If however, all your 1m2 of leaves are getting adequate light, leave it.

 

[Rurumo]

No need to remove leaves yet, plenty of space between plants, no rh issues caused by a crowded canopy. I'd leave them until they grow out and create more of a canopy, then you can take off the lowers that aren't getting any light. Also, it's always a good idea to have a fan at floor level.
