    thanks for the imput, yea they are are real deep red. Im gonna leave the plant in veg stage for a while longer with the possibility of 1 to 3 weeks or more, as much time as it needs b/c there is no need to be impatient before i transition to flowering.

    As the new growth is coming in on the top I am noting that it is doing so in a lighter green than the color on the other leafs. I am not sure if this is due to not enough nutrients or if it is because it is simply new growth.

    Enjoy the pics

    It's new growth. We have some that comes in very light lime green and then darkens up.

    You can trim in veg anytime. But remember leaves are the muscles of the plant. Unless it's a real good reason I don't cut anything. Try to fold them under or something.

    Understood about the potential of trimming putting stress on the plant. But seeing as to how this plant is turning out to be a bushy strain and although the this last photo doesn't show it, the sucker has leaves everywhere under those shade leaves. My hope is by changing the root to stem ratio by trimming some shade leaves the plant will grow up a bit and then all the smaller growth will bush out as it has already begun to do without my influence. I like the idea of folding the shade leaves, but due to the bushiness of the strain that may be detrimental to the other leaves due to the compact area in which all the growth is forming. Tune in for new pictures tomorrow, the leaves are huge and every day this plant excites me.

    The Phototron has a technique of trimming in veg to get the most budding sites on the plant.

    Top the plant at 6 to 8 sets of branches.

    When a side branch has one set of leaves cut the leaf off at the main stem for that branch and top that branch. This encourages the branch to grow.

    Now on every branch after the ones coming off the main stem. Top those secondary branch at two sets of leaves and trim the leaf at that branch.

    This will give you a bush from hell. You can take it as far as you want in veg. I have seen a plant only 3 feet tall have 5 pounds under one 1000 hps light. It was also 3 feet wide.
