should i trim leaves

[whydoyoucare]

my plants are about 4" and i was wondering if i could start clipping the leaves already and how far down i should clip them

I dont trim leaves. they need leaves to photosinthisize and grow.
its like cutting off fingers then asking you to finger paint.

I agree, let those fans suck up that light dude.

[.:Karma:. o.O]

yea dont cut leaves they are used to absorb the light and produce sugars and such...i think...

ive heard trimming the leaves makes the root system better and in some cases makes crystals form all over the trimmed leaves. if anyone knows anything about this please inform
