Trimming for a higher Yield

[Rusty Trichome]

Melkorx5: If the plants are in flower, do not top 'em. Period.

I trim some of the fan leaves that prevent light from getting down to the lower bud sites, but I've never noticed my plant slowing down in growth. The lower bud sites are getting bigger now too as result of trimming those fan leaves I assume.

For every fan leaf you remove, you are removing essential nutrients and minerals that can not be quickly replaced. Are you certain those fans aren't the ones supplying the cola with her minimum daily essentials? Are you stunting the best part of the plant to salvage a couple of secondary buds...?

I'm also a big fan of fimming as it produces more node sites and makes your plant "denser" giving you more bud sites. I'll usually do it to 4 bud sites doing it every other.....

You ought to try re-vegging. :jointsmile:
