I have a plant growing outside that's doing pretty good. It is starting it's sixth tier of leaves minus the first water leaves, I cut them. The 2nd and 3rd tier leaves are huge, like softball size, compared to the other ones which are around half the size. Should I trim the big leaves to let light through?

just leave the plant alone dont trim any leaves off of it.
you dont want to put the plant threw any shock when its that young or you might end up with a hermie

just let it do its thing

NO!!! Those big leaves (fan leaves) are absorbing all that light and turning it into food (photosynthesis) trimming these leaves will seriously stunt growth.... I hope I replied before you ruined your plants... good luck!!


-You can ''tuck'' or tie the fan leaves back to let more light through if you'd like... but don't trim... IMO

Both posters are correct!
Don't cut anything that is not already falling off! those leaves absorb light to allow plant to grow, why would you want to cut them off for smaller shit underneath?

I haven't done anything to it yet. I live in Washington state and am not having the greatest summer, kind of windy. A couple of leaves are turning sideways. I moved the plant in my garage under a heat light, should I move the plant back outside? Was raining for a bit aswell, or leave it for the night? Hasn't been consistently sunny either but the plants doing good.
