Tek,

Do you cut the fan leaves after you are a week or two into flowering. My plants are about 12-14 inches. I'm afraid to cut the huge lower fan leaves for fear it will cause them to stretch.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Peace, O2

You can cut off some of the lower fan leaves, Be conservative tho....

I usually do some fan leaf trimming at least once or twice troughout the grow...

Peace

Also, remember the leaves are what they use to breathe. I trimmed quite a bit for light, but later wished I had done less. I will not trim the ones on the colas or any that are directly connected to the sprouting buds next time.

Tek,

Here are the pictures I said I would post. Still can't determine sex yet. I'm changing the lights tomorrow. Would like to trim some of the big bottom fan leaves. What do you think.
I'll use a camera instead of the cell phone tomorrow & get better pics.

Peace, O2

These have been in the res AG 41 days now. Started flowering two weeks ago. Went to a mix of FF Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom one tsp. ea. per gallon. Six plants and still have not not seen any nuts signaling male sex. One is suspect but still cannot really tell. Added a SunBlaze 24" T-5 HO fluorescent fixture today with a mixture of grow & bloom lamps and removed the AG hood. Am using it to direct its light from the side. Grow so far has been very smooth with no crisis incidents. I have cut a few fan leaves maybe five. So far, so good.
Still waiting for the mylar to arrive in the mail.

Peace, O2

Do not remove any of the fan leaves unless you want to stunt their growth. When the plant has used up the leaves energy it will naturally start to die off on it own. Leave the leaves alone as long as the leaves look healthy.
