I trim week 1 of flower, week 3 of flower(right in the middle of stretch), and week 6-7(im harvesting in 2 weeks anyways, GET LIGHT TO EVERY BUD POSSIBLE). If a bud doesnt get light, it doesnt grow. When it comes down to it i want colas, not fan leaves.

All of the buds that dont recieve adequate light are going to be small waste of time/hash making buds anyways, and they're a pain in the ass to trim.


here are some of the plants(indoor as well as outdoor) that i grow using this kind of trimming. I dont just go crazy and cut fan leaves off, i only remove them in order to incease light penetration and bump my yield.
Whew, a like minded person in regard to fan leaves. HEY DRUDOWN, you better duck because there are some Rep points flying at you from me!
