That JH looks interesting. What do you clip? The main-stem fans?, or just random fans to open her up?

Hoping to see some nice purple coming in!

Lookin' good.

thanks evil! :hippy:
i take the main stem fans off after about 10 days of flowering to open more light to the bottom to eliminate undeveloped buds... i usually do it to all my plants.

and i am hoping to get some good purps with these low temps i have ... 68-75 with lights on and 58-65 with lights off :hippy:

yeah i have read both views and ... some peeps do it some dont... i tend to trim them off so i can get more light to the buds

Gonna be awesome anyway.

yo jake whats happening !!

i tend to tuck them as much as possible to allow the top of the shoots to get direct light... i only take off the BIG fans that come off the main stem and tuck and tie the others out of the way... i think that the plant waste energy on the big fan in flower so i get rid of them ... never to i take anything off during veg unless im topping or cloning
