Space issues any ideas

[gsosure]

Ok so I'm at Day 23 flower and day 46 total. I have about 34"H x 39"W x 64"D . The height issue has been resolved, but now I'm starting to see a lot of overlapping with the fan leaves on the other plants and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for resolving this. I've read some about "lollipoping" but I'm wondering if this late into flower it would just cause stress. Thanks ahead for the help.

think cropping of any type should be done before flowering, I dont think I would try it as I dont like male plants and stress will be a major factor. As for fan leaves, look at them like solar panels. If you have solar panels on your house to provide energy and you take them off you lose the energy they would have created from the sun. Pretty much same story if you hack away at fan leaves :chainsaw:

Thats kind of what I was worried about.. I'll just start moving fan leaves to make sure they don't over lap into other plants and just keep up on that. Thanks for the help. once again saved by the forums from making a huge mistake and added another thing to my list of things to do different on the next grow. cheers

Cut off the main large fan leaves, the ones that take up alot of area, because yes what that guy said above is true, but to an extent, if you have too many leaves, when flowering the plant will put alot of energy into the leaves, not the nugs.

Ok well instead of chopping leaves I've desided to just tuck them and move them around the main bud sites and it has helped. Thanks for the input guys.

Does anyone think its too late for SOG ?

to late to train..... already flowering and dont want any undo stress at this point and time. and back to the leaves, last couple grows I have done I have not trimmed fan leaves at all and have seen better results from my plants. of course that is just my opinion and unfortunatley opinions are just like assholes ...... everybody has 1 :jointsmile:

Thought so but wasn't sure. Really any stress at this point would risk turning her hermi wouldnt it ?
