Preflowers showing,help

My plant just started showing tiny preflowers i can see little white wisk coming in the tops i have a question i have a lot of grow that not getting light underneath can i cut it so all the nutrients can be focuse in certain areas so buds wont be small

you could, but i wouldn't suggest anykind of trimming now that your plant is in flower.. if you had wanted to do any trimming, you should do it a week or two before your going to flower so that the plant will have time to recover from any stress from the trimming... trimming now will cause stress to the plant and stress is a number one way to cause hermies in your baby, which i am pretty sure you don't want to do...
you could always get some small cfl's and place them around the bottom of the plants to that they recieve more light down low instead of trimming...

your fan leaves are like solar panels, by trimming them its light removing solar panels from a house, not a good idea, if youre worried about light getting to the bottom get more lights and put them towards the bottom

Thanks that makes alot of sense

thats how someone explained it to me and it finally clicked happy smoking

I trim the BIG fans off about halfway through flowering, leaving at least 70% of the leaves intact. It helps light to penetrate the canopy better, and most importantly, reflect around off of the mylar walls better to reach the lower areas of the plants. I've tried it both ways and this works better for me personally because I only have a 400 watter.

he said preflowers so im assuming its still in veg..... you can trim anything you want off t he bottom its not gonna hurt anything. look at scrog grows and that lollipopping they chop off damn near the whole bottom half of the plant. its awesome how bad of advice some people give on this site

Nice read of various opinions ..... I usually turn or re-adjust my plants which helps along with some low down cfls.....also do a limited amount of lst .....got some good looking buds growing sideways.....lst is quite simple and a good way to "isolate" certain areas.......good luck with whatever you do......you'll buy the result........

As long as you're still on your veg you can trim away the bottom stuff. I cut off most of the bottom branches on mine so you don't have li'l shit buds, I top mine though so I just end up with 4 huge colas and nothing else. You get more in the long run.

If you're leery about cutting off branches you could add some CFL's on the sides or underneath too.
