The last couple of runs I've been trimming off all fan leaves about the time I go into final flush. I figure why waste energy growing them at this point plus lots of flowers suddenly get much more light for their finish.
Do you do this? Comments good or bad?
I like your trellisTrim all large fan leaves beginning of week 6. When this is done it transfers all the energy that would go to those leaves to the buds.View attachment 649657 View attachment 649658 View attachment 649659This is the beginning of week 7 today. Buds have gained approximately 15% more growth in one week from removing the large leaves.
I know there are lots of opinions on both sides of this fence. And I've seen plenty anecdotal evidence that would suggest the best results come from extensive defoliation. I've seen just as much anecdotal evidence that it does more harm than good.Trim all large fan leaves beginning of week 6.

@1diesel1 - I have to say, those are some banging looking plants!Trim all large fan leaves beginning of week 6.

Thanks, it's takin me a long time to get to this point plenty of failures along the way. 24 plants in there 12 in 20gallons and 12 in 3 gallons. I've got a post on this grow "bigs and smalls"@1diesel1 - I have to say, those are some banging looking plants!
Yeah sugar leafs definitely produce some energy...but their ability to do so is significantly hindered by the layer of trichomes. The frostier the girls are, the less those leaves are able to catch light.Dont the sugar leaves catch some of the light?
