is that the beginning of the first leaves?
Yes those are the first "serated" leaves but those will fall off and die eventually. I think its the 3rd set of leaves that come in, that are the actual 5 blades.. Something like that, you will know very soon :) Shit you could just get away with the one cfl for now if you wanted.

u removed them during flowering as well? u ever heared of sinka nd source? wur the leaves during vege act like a sink wur nutes are brought up and dumped into the leaves where they get stored in a 'sink'...during flowering or maturing the stems tend to turn purple...the leaves become a source....wur those stored nutes are being used to flower the plant....think of it as a squirrel storing nute for the winter...u just robbed that squirrell out of nuts that he carefully brounght up the tree to store for 'winter'...what is that squirrel gonna have now for winter? thats y i just will never ever agree with cutting fan leaves...just doesnt make sense...i mean i just named one out of many jobs fan leafs have in the growth of a plant
so ii know all of the fan leaves are important. but what if you had to remove most of the main ones coming from the main middle stock and the plants was ropped(so basically no more fans from the stock). is it cool if you still have big fan leaves from the other branches? or are those other ones alot more important?
