No worries maro.

So, for tonight's update, I did something drastic... possibly quite stupid. I like seeing things for my own eyes, so I made a decision, and I'll live with the results. All fan leaves coming from the main stem of Scarlet were removed tonight. Here are the pictures.

Before


After


See the cut marks on the stem


Goodbye pretty fan leaves!


Top of Scarlet after trim. Compare this picture to yesterday and you can see what she's missing.


The good thing about this is that all of the bud sites are now getting more light. The bad part is that I cut off a lot of energy making areas for the plant. Will it pay off? Go ahead and make your predictions now. I really have no idea.
