i would cut out some of the lower and weaker shoots, but no, its good to have alot of surface area to catch some rays.

Thanks for your replies. When I moved one of the shoots, the fan leaf under it was wet, it literally ran and dripped off of the leaf. They are 4 weeks from clone, ebb flow, 400 hps, 12in air stone in res homemade everything, How do they look?

Oh yeah, for got to mention the christmas mylar for the walls, a few leafs are starting to go and I was wondering what you thought. I'm not sure if it is taking the nutes out for better use, because it is on the bottom where no light can get, or if when I changed out the nutes it was too much causing burn. Just in case when I saw the first signs, I dumped half of the res and ran a gallon of fresh water through each pot. It's only like a ten gallon res. And if I did over do it, it couldn't have been by much, but that was about a week ago, and it just started doing this in the last couple days. This is the third leaf I have found like this, all where smaller first growth, this is the first bigger leaf. Sorry bout the pics only have a 2mp camera. And even though this is my first few posts, I have been absorbing all the info on here for a while. A BIG THANKS to everybody that has contributed to all this stuff.

Oh yeah, at about a foot I bent them over, not really lst, but had to due to height restrictions, so all of that is lower shoots. Thanks again.

hey man, looking awesome. there has been and will continue to be a lot of debate about trimming, removing, lollipoping, etc. In my case, I had a similar situation where the leaves were interfering with the transpiration of each other. I trimmed out because I didn't think that would be good. The reality is the plants are living beings. They will adapt to the situation in the best manner that they can. You can go in and fuck around or more politely "manage" their growth and you may get some better results. The most important thing is that you are comfortable with whatever you do, it has to make sense to you. There is no one particular way that is the best. Everyone's sitaution is different and you need to see what will work best for you.
