Remove leaves here and there, bigger old leaves can go but not a lot at one time, you don't want to stifle growth. That's about it for thee moment.ok guys my first indoor grow ever and I'm trying to get the most yield that I can so my question is should I be taking the big fan leaves from the top and middle so the inside of my plant get lighting?
Ok I've been looking at the pros n cons on this subject my first indoor grow I didn't do any de leafing or pruning which i was a bit hesitant to do I had a lot of waisted energy with the plants growing all the bottom bio mass so this grow I de leafed and pruned them and I can see a incredible amount of how the tops have taken over having no competition with the scrappy shit on the plant lower story . I'll keep the leaf and lower story bio mass stripping style going it suits my growing style sweet . This is only my opinion I'm sure there's a lot of growers doing it .
Well that why he gave you the knowledge now you know about that, I love how people come here for facts, get them, bUT shut them down cause they've never heard it before.. haha Imo the @jammie and @Taylor Smith are spot on that's coming from over a decade of XP. So take it for what it's worth happy farmin!Don't know about that
I do but only during veg and only one or two here and there but youl get people that will tell u not to but there's really no proof eitherwayok guys my first indoor grow ever and I'm trying to get the most yield that I can so my question is should I be taking the big fan leaves from the top and middle so the inside of my plant get lighting?
I'm really very curious where you get your information from on this.theres really no such thing as a leaf sucking energy even the ones in the shade still produce enough energy to prevent them from sucking energy from the rest of the plant. photosynthesis happens much more efficiently when there is less light, there could be 100 times less light but the leaf my produce only 10 times less energy ( just an example not actual numbers) the purpose of leaves is to generate glucose for other parts of the plants once a leaf is matured and no longer getting larger it has very little energy needs for itself. how ever leaves do age and there efficiency can decrease over time, they can block out light from other more efficient leaves and buds and restrict air movement and transpiration which can ultimately restrict photosynthesis . large fan leaves can also slow the growth of lower branches. in veg it really doesn't matter as long as your canopy is full when you start flowering excessive defoliation will slow growth in veg. In flowering i personally do not remove any unless leaves airflow is restricted or maybe if they are blocking out light from buds but for me it is preferable to just tuck them out of the way . even when i lollypop i only remove lower buds not healthy leaves . the lower leaves aren't in the way of any buds and as i said i do not believe they will suck energy from the plant. in flowering energy is focused on flowers. if a leaf is not getting enough light to sustain itself it is more like to just slowly die as opposed to sucking energy.
Shroom can you enlighten me on how this doesn't make sense to you? Ya there's a few things there that are a lil outlandish, he hit the nail on the head, your telling me that you encourage removing fan leaves during flower?? Rather than tucking, or even doing duel harvest?I'm really very curious where you get your information from on this.
I disagree with most of what you just said.
This is the shit you remove right here!!! Just like he did... then if you have a yellow leaf here and there you can pop them off too.
Ehh it didnt pull the quote... im talking about the picture one drop posted... cut all that crap off for less popcorn and better air flow
