Done tons of reading and thanks to all of you for writing about your wins and loses.

However, I haven't come across any info on pruning fan leaves while LST'ing the plant.

My theory at this point is to prune the fan leaves so that the producing stems are encouraged to grow and get stronger--in the veggie state.

Right now, I'm keeping the last-to-sprout fan leaves to drive the next set of leaves as my little baby completes its circle.

Thoughts anyone?

I trim leaves that are blocking bud sights. And if i can, just trim half of the leaves. Leaves are good, keep them if you can. You can cut half a leaf off and its still effective.

The main reason why it's called low stress training training is that the only stress you are putting the plant through is bending them over. Leave the leaves on as these are your money makers, just tuck them under.

is it better to tie leaves than to cut em and if im doing a little bit of both does it couse less stress if i tie a leaf or two or cut every few days or maybe do it all at once

i just started to flower these 4 days ago so now looking for any advice on how to maximize the yeild,is it too late now to lst and prune

when i LST, i trim only the leaves that are in the dirt. for mold prevention's sake.

if i tie leaves like this does it couse stress to a plant

it might cause just a little stress but less than cutting the leaf
