Bump to what above posters said. Do not cut the leaves unless they are burnt up or almost dead. If I were you I would try bending fan leaves out of the way of the buds. Some hydro stores sell clips that are used for SCROG and LST purposes. I've never tried them but I am sure either these or mouth floss will do the trick on bending the leaves out of the way.
jtsik330 Reviewed by jtsik330 on . should i trim leaves? the reason why i ask this is because i went to go to play airsoft at our feild yesterday, and my friend showed me his plants, and to make a long stoey short i got kinda pissed because he has no knowledge of growing what so ever AT ALL... lol not usinf ferts or anything and his looks better then mine. by better i mean his main buds are fuller then mine... is it really because he trimmed almost all of his leaves, i thought you needed them at this point in the plants life, someone please help Rating: 5
