Hello everybody im after a bit of advice.
I have 15 plants on theier 5th week of flowering, they are all about 3 feet tall and getting nice and thick now.
but i want to try and get more light to the lower bud and heard you can chop down all the large fan leeves, is this true and has anybody done it yet???

it can shock the plant to start hacking leaves off that late into floer. just tie them down or tuck them under but i wouldn't cut the leaves at that point.

Yes ive done it to my plants there only 3 weeks old, all i got to say is dont cut more then 2 off in 2 days and when you clip them make sure its on a day when your using your nutrience mix (fertilizer) it will help them through the pain, but yes clip them slowely and acheive more light the spots that matter

I trim my fan leaves but not during flowering... I cut when they are vegging then I water them with water & B1 then the next day they go into flowering & I don't touch them after that !!!

Yelloow bad, kill yellow, this is what one of my babys look like at day 13 after trimming 4 fans off
THIS PLANT DIDNT SEEM TO BE EFFECTED AT ALL AFTER TRIMMING, IT ACTUALLY LOOKED HEALTHIER RIGHT AWAY

Only cut out the yellow leaves once you've started to flower... as said above.
