New Grower removing some leaves

[marty38]

Hi All ,

I removed about 6-7 leaves off my two plants to aid light to buds it's on day 79 at mo do you think this will affect yield at all ?

Don't really know what your asking so I'll go shotgun approach lol.... removing the 6 or 7 leaves during flowering is not a bad thing. In my opinion and the way many others do is I leave all of the fans on through veg and when I enter flower u begin to trim any large fans covering bud sites so the get increased light and produce more. I'd and more bid sites this def helps with final weight and as long as you go slowly and do the trimming progressively will not stunt the plant and you can remove more that 6 or 7 if needed just space out the trimming sessions.

Conclusion : in my opinion trimming off fans covering bud sites in flower stage doesn't stunt your plant rather it increases light penetration to bud sites and in turn increases yield


Happy growing my friend

Shotgun approach was correct lol I'm stuck for space with 2 plants in 2x2 tent all buds well formed so removed a few to help with light down to lower bud sights ,it's only got a few weeks left to go but want to increase as much as I can in the last few weeks my first grow so trying to be patient looks likebiys gonna take 100days from seed approx .

I do it with my autos too if I can't easily tuck the leaves out of the way.

Yeah I was tucking out of way but now it's day 81 so I removing quite a few to try and thicken up the lower buds before chop , still nearly 90+% clear trichs ,how much longer you all think ?
