Should I prune these fan leaves now

[Izzy1980]

Just.wondering if I.can prune these fan leaves now, shes 18/19 days oldand they dont really cover a great deal? As she is tall theres a lot between each node

In general, 'd say no. Removing them may slow growth. They don't look as though they would ever be much of an issue. They certainly won't cause an airflow problem from the looks of it. Left side in bottom pic, that one fan leaf looks to be completely shading the bud site, which isn't great. Removing that one is an option, but you could possibly train that lower branch out from under the fan leaf.

What strain is that? It looks very stretchy, which could be genetics, but also could be related to lighting and/or nutes. Hope others more experienced chime in.

I’d say no, you’ve got allot of stretching going on there as well. Good idea to check your light distance. Maybe a topping is in order to bush up a little.

You’ve got to be kidding...get that plant under control, LST, Topping, field of green, or a combination. Never trim fan leaves, as thats where the plant draws the energy for producing your eventual buds. But that’s just me, I’d also let the plant grow a bit before worrying about placing it into bloom, if you want anything to harvest that you can’t smoke up in a few days.

Just looked at your other pics, you didn’t seem to have any problems with those plants prior plants...

Its "LSD 25" Auto, I always use the same ranging height with my seeds and never had an issue, I use Dutch Pro Auto A+B and im using half the recommended dose (just increased from 1/4 dose,

I'm thinking it must be the strain, I posted the other day if anyone else thought it was stretching, I had a "Yes" and "No", she's growing amazingly quickly?

I'm not sure what she's doing, I.cant find any comparative grow pictures to.see how she is at nearly 3 weeks

Im starting to LST her, would you top her as well?

600w LED light is about 15" from the top

 

[Dan789]

LST, should work fine, as you draw it down, and twist and turn, just do it gradually, taping up anything that breaks or cracks along the way. Good luck. I'd bring that light down a few inches, at least, assuming it's a bluple...

 

[Izzy1980]

Well ive started LST and I'm pretty impressed so thank you, does it look like im on the right tracks,

Im also probably stupid but is she now in full flower mode?
