Wait.... what?


Your plants are still in flowering?
Or you already finished flowering and already cut them down?

If your plants are still flowering... why the heck you go on and cut off leaves?

The good news::: This is a learning experience.
The bad news::: You screwed up.

Don't cut the leaves.
No,... the advice given to you was plain wrong.
If you cut off the leaves, you're taking away BUD and THC producing PARTS.
Less parts, less THC.

If you want, what you *can* do is to 'tuck' big fan leaves under buds... or try and settle them 'under' the canopy.
But don't cut the leaves.
Bad... bad bad 420man.
Go kiss up with your plants.
Tell them you're sorry.
Cry some.

PS: It isn't the end of the world... they'll live.

alrite then... the leaves are still on the buds i just cut off all the sucker leaves...would that make answering my question any different if you mind me asking?
thanx for the support

Don't mind you asking at all!
Ask as many questions as you want.

What do you mean "sucker leaves"?

I'm not sure what you mean, but that's what I'm telling you... there are no "sucker" leaves.
They are all useful.

When can you remove leaves?
When you pick them off the floor yellow.

Ask away if you have any more questions!

ahh hey dont ever cut any green off

sun leafs = enery producing factories

Yeah, plants will drop those fan leaves on their own anyway. But first they suck all the nutrients out of them, so you don't want to just cut them off. Your yield might suffer a little, but it's not the end of the world.

you asked this same question in an earlier post you made- you were told then to leave the leaves alone for they provide energy to grow on- good advice generally given on this site- use it!

hmm i dont doubt what you all have told me but it seems that my girl has grown her budds much bigger and faster than before recently starting this after the trimming. not saying that u all are wrong but ive hurd from a lot of people this does work. and also it has not killed my girl or made it droop or anything

I think you will be ok. I did the same thing on my last thread (White Widow Pic) and it turned out pretty well!

This was one of 8 plants (3 females) that I grew under only 400 watts. I trimmed the leaves in the middle of flowering so the light would penetrate the budz. I don't know much about weed, so others doubted, but I was just using my garden knowledge to grow them! :jointsmile:
