Water Leaves?

**SkyZUU** · 08-12-2012, 06:15 PM

Alright hey everybody, this is my first REAL GROW that i'm doing in my backyard. So I get to wake up every morning to look and take care of it if needed..

I planted it on may 30th or eaaarly june ? its now august and its been showing the female hairs soo im happy for that .

I've wondered though bout water leaves.. I got alot on the bottom of my plant that really dont get much light from the sun since its covered by the upper part of the well sun bathed top.

would it be better to cut the ones that aren't getting sun ?
*( opinion : if i do this I was wondering would the plant get more 'energy' to the rest of the plant better and faster since it doesn't have to waste energy on water leaves that dont get sun ? )
[ OR ]
would it be better to just leave them as is while its in this stage and when i start producing actually sized buds then trim them off?
*(Opinion : If I leave them on would the plant 'make or have' more energy since the water leaves are their n still getting the suns rays ? just not the full amount ?. )

PLEASE SHOOT ME SOME IDEAS OR YOUR THOUGHTS.
* HERE ARE SOME PICTURES ALSO *

Water leaves ? you must mean fan leaves, the big ones ? it is generally suggested not to remove any leaves since they are the basic factories of the plants, even if they don't get that much sun I'm sure they are helping the plant in some way. Conclusion? I would not do it....just my opinion, btw aside from sideways pics your plant looks good and healthy.

I think: Leave em on there. They look like they receive plenty of light.
Theyll help keep your plant healthy.
