removing leaves for more light?

my plants are about a month old, between 6 and 8 inches in height and seemingly very healthy. however, the plant that is right in the middle of my set up is that is receiving the most light, is growing faster than the others. the leaves are very large and my space is limited. Would it be ok to remove leaves so other plants will get more light? if so which ones?

i dont know cause you need both to grow leaves and the light must compromise for flower not as vital i sometimes have my plants naked other then small leaves arounb bud all naked stems try it for self you dont need permission or to ask two plants do one each way

good luck

Depends which ones you want to remove. You can remove the bottom ones like I did to mine, if you need to let light penetrate the center of the plant you can go ahead and trim (only a little bit) some of the fan leaves, but be careful not to stress your plant, I wouldn't even recommend cutting your fan leaves since they hold all your wonderful ingredients for your bud smoke.

the only time you should remove any leaves is if they are sick or dead or if they are blocking buds from getting light. I personally do not remove any leaves.

If you are short on space why not try a topsy turvy as your baby is up side down gravity will do the rest and your buds will need less tying worth a shot

Have you tried using them before? I'm just asking cuz you would be the first person out of like 6-7 people who tried them to give it a favorable review on here.

great suggestion. this clarifies so much for me. i am doing a scrog and i was wondering which leaves i should remove if any... im going to topp them though... but now i know im just going to let them stay until they begin to decay. thanks.

dont leave them on till they begin to decay, if a gentle tug on the leaf takes it off it means its ready to to be removed. if not leave it be
