Should I be clipping leaves?

I have a license in Ontario to grow for a MMAR card holder and this is my first crop, do these look ok or should I be cultivating leaves?

NO! Dont clip leafs, if you really really need to get light to the lower branches, just clip the tips. You want the light to be absorbed by the main stem. This will aid in energy transformation and help the plant flourish and thrive!

Hope this helps.

The ladies look amazing btw!

don't be clipping leaves just because you think you're supposed to do it. There are sometimes good reasons to clip leaves but you should know the reason and the why of the reason. Beware of blindly following rules.

In answer to your question.
They look jus' fine.
Quite good, in fact.:thumbsup:

If that's an oscillating fan in the foreground, and it makes the leaves move, you need cut nothing.

Outdoors, the sun moves in an arc.
That, and the wind, insure that the shadows move, and every part of the plant gets some sun.

Indoors, we can swing the lights, or easier, use a fan.
Looks like you have a handle on this.

And, re-reading your post, I see first crop!
In that case, they are freakin' outstanding!
Great job brah, be proud.:smokin:

Aloha,

Thanks for the kind words!!!

Things seem to be going great, just watering everyday with a bit of plant food in the water, 2 x 1000W HPS, 2 fans and a carbon filter, wasnt 100% sure on when to flower them though.

Awesome..! Id start flower when height becomes an issue. They will almost double in height during flower. Keep in mind distance from canopy to light and overall room height.. Id say no taller than 3 ft depending on height of room.
