i say cut the undergrowth definatly and IF U WANT (all preference) u can cut the fans in half that cover multiple sites, wait a week or 2 then cut the rest of the leaf. That way u get more light down in there and u dont stress ya girls my 2cents
right on I think I'm gonna leave the fan leaves but I did some trimmin of low growths today and gave all the girls a spin.
so unfortunately I think that changing to hps early and leaving the girls in dark for a few days may have caused more stretching than I anticipated... hopefully though they won't grow any taller they are about 3 ft tall at this point I think... I can see clearly at least a qp of bud is gonna come off them but they need about 6.5-7 more weeks there are buds just starting to come out on the blueberry and the other two are a little behind maybe like 5 days or so.
added the koolbloom, hooked up the second fan inside the tent for ventilation around the tops, because they are growing so tall... also I need to have an oscillating fan on the girls next time because they are not woody. they are thick, but not woody and tough like they would be with wind on them all the time.
so I'm not really sure if the extra tallness is because I let them grow without continually supercropping or because I left them in the dark for a while before flowering or maybe even the change from 250w mh to 600w mh to 600w hps but they seem to be stretching pretty tall I thought they might make it like 75% at most by now.... so uh oh the small space is becoming a problem.
