cutting seedling leaves?

[OregonsDank]

Do you trim of leaves from the top of your seedling? They are clones 2 weeks old in big pots, some of the top shade leaves block lower branches, is this ok?

don't touch those leaves. (slap on the back of the hand)

let them grow and do their thing. when you have 5,6,7,8...nodes, then top.

if you must get light to those brances now, try lst.

[peace plz]

I would suggest if you are not getting enough lighting to lower leaves, you should maybe invest in a couple CFLs to put down by those leaves. Or try LST if you want.

Just don't cut any leaves.

Ok thanks, just a new medical grower wasnt sure, I think plenty of light is getting to lower branch nodes, plants are only 5 inches tall but really close nodes, maybe 5 or 6 branches so far.

Im using 60 watts per square foot with 4 white walls, white floor and white cealing, I think plenty of light for now.

ya that sounds great, I know you see how bright the top leafs are and how dark the lower leafs look. but they are still getting a lot of lumens.

That is the benift of bending the plants over

if you are really bothered about the light thing
i spose you could always get a couple of cfl's in the room for side lighting this will help
cheers all :)
