Hey guys on my first grow and my bushy little plant looks to have 10 colas but some are getting the light blocked by fan leaves is it ok if I trim some of them and if so, do they need to be trimmed at the stem or can I just cut the tips off. I'm 5 days into flowering.

If they are large fan leaves I would just clip the part of them that is blocking light from getting to the buds but if its a smaller leaf then i'd just pick it off. Remember that the fan leaves provide the real energy for your plant so don't go overboard with it. Also, I personally put bamboo sticks sticking out of my medium and I gently tie the branch to it to give each cola breathing room and light.

No problem, also you wanna just tie them gently and make sure they aren't restricted. I tie plastic coated twist ties around them gently, making sure its not pressing up against any growth nodes.

towards the end i trim almost all the fan leaves, freeze, dry ice hash, then make some ejuice from it. great way to taste before actually harvesting. kinda like a little sample.
