Hey guys,
I have a nice little girl growing at the moment and she is at about 11 weeks, in 12/12 photoperiod and flowering. The fan leaves are pretty much blocking out the light getting to the lower part of each branch, so the only parts getting good light is the top colas, and all the flowers that i have moved the surrounding leaves out of the way so they can get light. This may sound like a silly question but here goes:
Does the lower section of the branches with the pistles on them need much light to grow or does the fan leaves and the top flower that is under the lights send the energy down to allow the buds to form on the lower branches?
If not, when is the best time to trim the fan leaves off? Do i trim 50%, 60%, etc ? I don't know when is best to trim, if to trim at all. And if i do need to trim, which leaves do i trim off? Only the ones that are totally shading out lower growth? I have searched the net but its hard to pick out the info i need because it seems all geared towards trimming in early growth.
here is a few pics for you guys to have a look at. It is growing nicely, every leaf is perfect and a nice colour so i think there providing plenty of energy because its pretty dense.
Look forward to your replies
