Don't worry about fan leaves. Don't cut them. Plant itself can support nodes which are in the shade. You can bend down. Idea of bending is not to give light in the first place. Its keeping all the nodes in same level for giving equal amount of light to each. When they supported good enough by big fan leaves they'll start do their own.
tevfik Reviewed by tevfik on . to bend or not to bend Hey there, my buddy suggested that I bend my bubblegum plant that is ferociously growing little guys all up along the stalk, but all of which (except the top cola) are having trouble eeeking their way past the large ass fan leaves to the light. I'm 11 days into flowering. Here's a pic: Cannabis Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News Later when I have time, I'll bend it as my friend said and take a pic so people know exactly what I'm talking about, Rating: 5
