tiki is a trimmer too, with great results to show for it

im a fan leaf pruner, but only if its blocking a budsite and cant be bent out of the way. With my SCROG or SCROP(screen of PURPLE!!) things tend to get veryyy crowwded so i have to trim alot of the fan leaves off in order to increase light penetration. I didnt start trimming until my 4th grow, then you start realizing that the popcorn buds are annoying and as much as the plant needs fan leaves, increasing light penetration will increase your yield.
drudown11 Reviewed by drudown11 on . pruning fan leaves? Alright...I've started to flower..their about 2 weeks in, and everything is going great...so I'm wondering, what happens when I start pruning those large fan leaves? I'm told by some to leave them alone, and others to trim them so the bud will grow larger...anyone with any experience, would love the imput...thanks. Rating: 5
