Hey Guys,

I've heard that trimming fan leaves during flowering can stress your Plants. However, on this plant here there is a lot of thick growth. It seems to be blocking lower buds from receiving light... Would you leave this how it is or remove some leaves?

Thanks for input!

First i would read all 12,415 threads on this topic.

Then, i would go crazy from the nonsense that's contained in all of them.

This is something I started doing 3 grows ago. I know many people say not to cut any leaves. What I do is a compromise for the plant. When I find a flower that isn't getting light due to a leaf above it I cut the middle leaf out. That allows light in and keeps the plant healthy.

There will always be those that believe Mother Nature needs lots of help from us.
