Fan Leaf Thinning

[1djwesty]

Hi there,was wandering if anyone could give me some advice regarding removal of fan leaves.I've thinned out the bottom of the plants because light wasn't getting through to the leaves at the bottom and I have no room to move the palnts around.Now,the top and second row of fan leaves from the top are still blocking out most of the light from the ones below,should I leaves these leaves alone or remove them?I'm growing Blue Cheese and it's their first week of flowering

What light? I wouldn't of trimmed any leaves they don't look that big. Never trim anything your killing what makes energy or the plant. If the plant doesn't want certain leaves it will drop them naturally.

plants don't see light like us what you think is a shadow isn't to the plant...light will penetrate the leaves...leaves produce food for the plant, and later for the buds. why would you want to remove them? especially during flowering you can stress them if you remove to many leaves!

Yea cheers for the advice.I won't remove any more,lucky i didn't take too many off,only three fan leaves per plant,they're still doing good though
