There are as many opinions as there are growers but I like the idea if bending the top buds over but not breaking them and letting other tips fight to be apical bud. Too bad I learned it late in the cycle, I did it mostly to not be obtrusive to the neighbors, it still helped other flowers get fatter. The one I broke off actually looks the best so your mileage will vary.
eastbaygordo Reviewed by eastbaygordo on . cutting fan leaves Hello all - My plant is starting to grow bushy with a lot of big fan leaves (see picture) my question to you is should I start cutting the fan leaves out to promote the tree to grow taller, the branch to grow bigger and to unblock the light to reach the bottom branches..what the purpose of cutting the leaves..does it make any different? should I just leave it alone and let it grow bushy....my goal is to grow 3 -4 oz per plant...how can i get there? currently i use: 1000 hps light (18-6) Rating: 5
