I dunno but i have always been told that your supposed to clip the water leaves.. or the ones that are so big they are blocking the sunlight... but im obviously oblivious which is why im asking...

the plants in question are just as big if not a little bigger as that one in the orange pot, behind the huge beautiful one haha...

Leave the leaves alone!....only take them off if they start to die and become unproductive.....step away from the scissors!

Good luck!

it may work, but it would work better if you just left them.

i swear, a quarter of my time here is spent trying to stop people from trimming fan leaves.:roll:

all in the name of getting you guys to grow better weed!:bigjoint:

i find it strange how people say 'i trim leaves that block sunlight', after all, the leaves are what absorb the sunlight :)

i used to do the exact same thing, then i gave the other way a try and have never gone back.

instead of taking away from the buds whos leaves recieve the most light, try removing the new growth the isnt recieving much light. this directs the plants energies to the already light buds. you almost completely eliminate fluff and popcorn and get only huge colas.

yes, to each thier own. but you cant knock it till you tried it.

whenever i trim leaves the plant gets bushier and the little branches that are towards the bottom grow big as fuck cuz they have room to grow..thats another reason why i trim leaves is to give branches room to grow so they dont feel restricted in that jungle of leaves
