Very interesting stuff.

I havent cut any fan leaves higher than the bottom 1/3rd of the plant other than 1 on the sativa, where it is right up next to the light, and a couple blade ends on the indica where they are also right up next to the light. I did on the other hand cut off the growth shoots at the nodes that showed slow growth, as I figured it would in turn concentrate on the rest of the shoots. Hopefully it wont harm the plants too much! These are very young ladies, vegged for only about three weeks, im hoping the buds will fill out in the upcoming weeks.
