My only concern is are the big fan leaves still getting as much light? Those fan leaves are your solar collectors and main source of light to the plant. Never remove them. But you can move leaves around, just don't shade a fan leaf.
grey1223 Reviewed by grey1223 on . does anyone tie down their fan leaves? i have a large 2 ft plant under 1 hps light. the fan leaves are freakin huge but my friend advised me not to cut them off. i was thinking of tying the down because the leaves underneath seem to not be getting much light. i have heard hps lights are strong enough to penetrate the lower leaves so should i just leave them alone or what?? thanks.
