Ok so bit of a noobish question, have got a project in motion at the moment (link in signature) and am in end of week 1 f flowering, as the strains i have are mainly Indica strong its quite bush.

Ok so what i want to do is cutt away most of the fan leafs to get more light on the internods as i already have a 125w CFL under the canopy but not nearly enought.

whats your thoughts on cutting away the fan leafs at this stage of flowering to alow more light to reach other internods?

Peace :peace:
 
well lst is better you rele dont wanna cut too much because thats all stored energy thats gonna be used.
try to lst or tie the top down a little to get more light to the inside
 
theres some great reads on here about it. do a search.
just dont go chopping away half the plant, ull lose in the long run.
a method i like is to top the plant (super easy) 3 weeks or more before flowering. then i can tie the two tops down away from each other like if i was gonna spli the plant.

so i have 2 huge tops and it opens up the rest of the plant i hardly get any small buds
 
your like the 4rth person in the last 20 minutes to ask this, so its a common noob mistake. im gonna quote myself and what i said to the last guy, just ignore the parts that dont pertain to you. hope this helps......
total and utter nonsense, for exactly the reasons you listed, they are the plants main and most effecient energy producers and the bigger the leaf the more effecient it become, so lots of huge fan leaves=lots of huge buds.lol. last harvest did you cut off any leaves during flower(or veg i guess, but flower is more important) because they looked like they were yellowing and starting to die?im sorry if u already know this but i figured i'd say it just in case-, if your later(and some will start halfway,but just start, not full blown like towards the end)in flowering your plant will take all the energy its stored in its leaves for all that time and put it into the buds, so dont remove anything that doesnt come off with a gentle tug. that counts for later in vegging too, the oldest fan leaves will reach the end and the plant will decide to get rid of the leaf so it will first suck out what it wants in the leaf, so cutting leaves just throws that energy away.
 
oh, you just keep repeatedly posting this, thats why it seems like so many people are asking. We've all gave you our answer already. lol. please stop putting the same thread up repeatedly
