Should i trim the larger fan leaves?

[CTABB83]

Hey guys I'm curious should I trim the darker large fan leaves so more light can get to the lower growth. Any advice is welcome. Im about 1 month into my 1st grow.

I do but all my plants are growing slow. Correlation?

Your fan leaves look healthy to me other than the ever so slight yellowing of the tips. At that small size, there's no sign that it's been light deprived at all. I would leave the fan leafs on as they are a major source of plant energy.

You could trim the ones touching the wet dirt etc.
But way too young for trimming

Yes, trimming those make sense. The larger fans above those, I would leave alone.

Just trim the part touching, I leave my fans until they block bud
Or airflow

generaly no leaf removal till the plant has 5 notes (before this you will stunt the plants growth) then remove just the lowest fan leaves (ref: Ethos) good looking grow !!! then gradully remove big fan leaves that block bud sites

Thanks guys, I just trimmed the ones touching, I also turned up my light so its reading 500ppfd as I learned the 300 I was at was for very young/seedlings. Light is still at 22in distance. I'll keep an eye out in case it's too much. Any idea why the yellowing tips? I use ro and add cal-mag every other watering. I do a tds of about 100. I'm thinking I was overdoing it. I also noticed my soils ph is kinda high upper 7's how can I lower it? Using ocean forest and myko extreme

Ocean forest soil runs hot, meaning you do not need to add nitrogen in it. For months.
looks fine to me. Slight burn very very common ph 7 high yep,
Just water with ph’d water it’s fine.

Yes, removing large fans early on is a good way to slow growth.

Outside no and inside yes. Unless they block light.

Watch out for the cal mag. The tip burn is nutrient imbalance. Correctable but not reversible. Almost always happens and yours is minor.

I am running a 1000 watt led at about 14 inches . I am still new to growing but I google everything but not trusting any one article. Ph up and down is all you need. Very little down, and a bunch of up. Couple drops of down is about all you need each time. A good ph meter is the number one tool to own. The reason for your stretch is mainly your light is 2 high. Others may feel different but that is my preference. Take or leave any info you wish.
