Do you guys ever trim off any of the leaves to get better light penetration to the lower buds and increased air flow to the buds?
I used to not take any leaves off but in the last several years to combat mold I started taking the fan leaves at about 30 days and 2 weeks later I hit em again taking more of the leaves but leave the frosty ones behind. My battle with mold has immensely improved and the lower buds have gotten much much bigger. My over all yields have increased a great deal than just harvesting the top colas and comin back later and hittin the bottom.
Also with taking the fan leaves off many people do not even noticed the plants at all but look a lot like local weeds growing like Pig weed and Mares tail.

The insides are cleaned out for more air flow and we are gonna harvest in layers to increase the yield.

I cut leaves off with a big ass pair of scissors. I assure you I have a lot of plants and I don't do anything unless it's a need for here. If it has just a few on the plant naturally I don't mess with it but some can be very leafy. If you pour the nitrogen to a plant it will produce more leaves.These Mofo's would be having to pick leaves 24/7 in that case.
When I used to grow land race sativas they get massive much bigger than an indica and much more leafy. Stalks the size of a mans calf and branches almost as big. Well if ur skinny it's the size of ur leg haha. That's when I had to start cutting the top foilage away so the bottom part of the plant and the bottom part of the colas on top and the middle can also get more sunlight and air. Uses less water as well. I know some frown on it and say it makes no difference but I beg to differ on it. I also strip the insides so the popcorn buds don't get going but that also depends on the plant and how it produces bud as well.
I have some customers who like the 1gram nugs so I like to choose some varieties that put those out consistently.
Maybe out west their is no need for more air flow because of the lower humidity levels but here most of the summer it can feel like a jungle. Besides bigger buds is always a treat to any grower.

I forgot to say that if you have a tremendous amount of plants a sheep shearing shearers is the ticket. We used to raise sheep many years ago and they can cut like a champ.

Mohican I run some reveg as well and with those I been putting them in my greenhouse. The outside plants are just like urs, stay kinda short with a lot of stems and leaves. What I'm doing is putting some shade cloth over my greenhouse and it causes the plant to stretch a bit and the foilage is not near as bad and becomes manageable.
Also do you have any problems growing in garbage cans like that, combating excess aluminum? Aluminum will lock out some nutrients and cause ph problems.
Soil tests out in the field where we grow corn and soybeans will show this for us.
Seems I remember a guy who used to grow Mulanje that had some impressive plants grown in a garbage can. I remember that becsuse I was growing Mulanje and I had a relative tell me about forums like rollitup. Was that you? Seems he was around San Diago. My leaves would burn off the plant in late Nov early Dec and could never get mine to get amber before I had to chop it. Was not that good until a 6 month cure then it came into it's own. Was not a devestatingly strong high but good and tastey. Always wanted to grow some to 20% amber. They get massive though. Only type of sativas I have run is some hazes from mr nice and a couple others. Nothing like I used to though.
