hey l_r,
what was your set up before? hps or mh? did you trim during you flower cycle? i personally wouldn't take any fan leaves off, you need a certain amout of leaves to produce the hormones that make it bud, u take off too much it will concentrate on making new leaves to get the hormone ballance right thus slowing your growth
be interesting to see what happens looking forward to the update
peace
higher_than_you Reviewed by higher_than_you on . Fan Leaves Vs. Trimming In the past I've had more room to grow. Since this is my first CFL grow, I'm not sure which technique to use, in my previous grows I have always cut the fanleaves off all the bottom nodes but left some stem behind for the buds to secure to, making them semi tight, and still nice sized buds in the end. Now that I'm in a smaller area my fan leaves are a bit weaker, will trimming increase overall yield, or will leaving them on produce more stalk strength for the plant? I'm starting to get some Rating: 5
