Yeah.. I have taken the cautious approach on my grows, so I could watch and learn, then see how the various techniques affect my harvest. The 1st I did absolutely no trimming at all. On this second grow I took out some of the lower leaves and tried fimming as I was considering a scrog next time round. I am not prepared to take out these large upper fan leaves at this stage of flowering, as I plan to flower for 10 or 11 weeks this time. That said, once the top buds have completely filled out, I might follow your suggestion and remove/train the large fans.

I do appreciate your input, anything that makes me question or examine what I am doing is a good thing in my opinion. :thumbsup:
