i find it strange how people say 'i trim leaves that block sunlight', after all, the leaves are what absorb the sunlight

who said anything about trimming fan leaves only??????

and yes i do trim fan leaves and other leaves that are blocking sun from others and i still grow dank ass pot so to each his own

i used to do the exact same thing, then i gave the other way a try and have never gone back.

instead of taking away from the buds whos leaves recieve the most light, try removing the new growth the isnt recieving much light. this directs the plants energies to the already light buds. you almost completely eliminate fluff and popcorn and get only huge colas.

yes, to each thier own. but you cant knock it till you tried it.

the very top two newest leaves coming in... clips those and the plant will fill itself out with more new growth down below!

whenever i trim leaves the plant gets bushier and the little branches that are towards the bottom grow big as fuck cuz they have room to grow..thats another reason why i trim leaves is to give branches room to grow so they dont feel restricted in that jungle of leaves

i cut them little fuckers off and send them to chuck norris' camp for skinny bitches(or the cloner).

if i had an indoor op i would do the same make clones from those branches but since i cant i make the best of it by makin sure those branches get nice and big and full of buds

I juts clipped my water leafs off ooooooops

once a plant reaches a couple feet tall, I remove the bottom four inches or so of branches and water leaves to improve air flow underneath and those branches hardly get any light no matter what you do, so it's just all trunk the first 4 or 5 inches up. got it from this page http://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=...article&id=383

hope it helps
