Trimming Fan Leaves

Sounds good Rudy, look forward to the pics as summer progresses. I tend to trim fan leaves as well, particularly as they begin to age and lose their ability to produce. And I always seem to get at least one dwarf-like plant no matter what the strain when I grow 6 or more. Those have to get trimmed or the bottom half of the plant produces no bud.

:thumbsup:

sometimes i like to cut my plants in half and run iver them with a train :wtf:


CHOO CHOO!!!

LOL. Must be big plants if you need a train to trim them. Whatever works for you.

I'll assume this your attempt at humor...lol.

Hope all is well R,

I was making an attempt at humor. It is not always that easy. I definitely try to difuse any anger I see.

It seems like there is a wide range of opinions on this subject. I do what I feel I have to do for my plants. Anything that molds is a total loss for me. I only need to trim the thickest plants. That still seems to be a no no for some but it is a requirement for me.

Each grower needs to handle the situation as it pertains to their particular plants.

As well as the environmental conditions surrounding them(finishing above sentence). We don't have mold problems here(unless you're allergic to air born spores, lol). I know it can be a huge problem for outdoor growers in western Canada south into California during the Fall. I've seen the usual emergency mold postings here in late Summer etc. Some even construct temporary shelters, I know I would if it meant saving a harvest.

True. Each situation differs greatly. Especially outdoors. You can't control nature but you can mostly keep it and yourself from ruining your plants.

is it OK to cut the fan leaves in the last two weeks of flowering?

The more I grow, the more I realize we only need good soil, lots of sun, and a bit of common sense.

Have a great weekend!

what happens when you have to trim the fan leaves? this is only my second grow, and of course I'm making mistakes...I over fed them and it browned the hell out of the leaves and I had to cut or trim them...will they grow more leaves???
