I have about a week left until harvest and was wondering how cutting off a few fan leaves would affect things. I have two plants that need to be put quite close together because of space issues so in the middle its like a jungle, which i would think doesn't allow for good airflow. would it be worth it to cut a few from the middle to thin things out a bit?
Also what would the effect be on the flushing process? One is further along than the other (is yellower), if i were to chop the leaves from the greener one which needs more flushing would this speed it up? My reasoning goes that the plant will be using nutes from inside itself so cutting off some leaves is essentially getting rid of some nutes. But i also understand that it could shock the plant and slow things down. What does everyone think, would it speed up the flushing process or is that just a silly idea?
