Humungous Flowers Growing into fan leaves need expert advise please

[Jay Cart]

Hey guys, I finally joined the site. However I need some advice. I have 5 different strains and they are BLZ, Critical Sensi Star, LSD, Arjans Ultra Haze #1, and Super Lemon Haze. Although that is irrelevant to the situation. They all sprouted from feminized seeds and I guarantee they are female. But the problem is my flowers which will soon become my clones are huge and they are growing into the fan leaves. I know this is def no big deal but the tops of my flowers are getting smashed by the weight of the fan leaves due to becoming so large they are growing into them. So guys should I just take the clones now to prevent them from getting any larger and growing more into the fan leaves. Also, will more flowers grow back after I remove the clones?? Because there are decent sized fan leaves there which would be useless without any flowers there to feed. One last question, my flowers that are soon to be clones actually have 3-4 nodes themselves and I was just wondering if I should cut them below the lowest node or should I leave some room to grow?? Any feedback would be awesome guys..., Also as I said I am new here so hows everyone doin??

hi i sort of understand you but you are a little confuseing. i would say take the clones now and the fan leafs wont be useless if any thing they will help. take the clones from the branches try and take alot of the branch for eatch clone prefrabily with a node or to.

it is possible to clone fan leafs on there own but i wouldnt recomend it.

hope i helped but didnt realy understand tbh.

you def did help bro...all I was trying to say.. was my clones have grown so large they are growing into the fan leaves above them.. and due to that they r being kind of smashed by the weight of the fan leaves....sry I sometime give way more info than necessary and bunch it together...so when I take my clones you think I should cut them a couple nodes down from the growing tip?

i read your question a couple times and am having a really hard time understanding what you are saying. are you referring to your plant as a flower? it just doesnt make since how you worded this saying your plant is getting crushed by your fan leafs? also i think ur in the wrong section for a Q like this if u want more responses. but yea im pretty sure you Cant clone a fan leaf dont do that.

I think I understand.

So, the lower branches are growing tall and not getting above the fan leaves. Like this?

The arrow is pointing to a branch that has grown tall enough to be under the fan leaf.

If this is what you mean, just move the fan leaf ouuta the way of the branch and you'll be good.

If I am totally off, let me know.

Yes that is precisely what I meant and I have already done what you said. How do you post pics so I can show you guys the girls I think you will be impressed I am very proud. Also, when you take clones what is considered the first true node? Because they already have 5 or 6 nodes on them. I know to take off excess fan leaves when you clone other than the top two just don't know what is considered the first true node. I would think the growing tip on it is the first true node and the first node produced on them would be the 2nd however I am not positive. Because I want to top them and to do so you need to know what is the first true node because you have to wait till the clones hits 5-6 nodes for the growth hormones to be correct then you chop it right above the 2nd node.
