First grow. Planned on SCROG but I weaved branches during vegetative stage and needed a second net During stretch . Double scrog ?

I just need to know if I should be trimming the fan leaves on the top!? I have lollipopped the lower stalks and kept everything clean under there. I just have a LOT of bud sites in my 4x4 first tent. I don’t know if I’m better off trimming upper fan leaves to allow light penetration or if they’re serving more of a purpose as solar panels remained in tact I’m including pictures. I’m open to any and all advice as I said this is my first grow and I have put a lot of work into it and just want it to be the best it possibly can .. thanks in advance

Trim leaves up until the middle of the 4th week of flower. Don't take any off after that point though.

Oh boy, I hope you have access to all sides of that tent. Looks like you have a jungle in there.
I run into a similar situation on my annual indoor grow. I try and remove interior growth that isn't getting good light penetration.

I do have access although getting around to the other side is a pain

i switched to flower on January 1st. I didn’t really trim leaves off the top
Is it too late ? Should I have ??

Deff a mini jungle and do you think it’s too late to trim ? Switched flower January 1st ? Do I pluck leaves off in the middlE still to open up?

Bro, strip em. Get some snippers and start cutting off leaves about half an inch up the petiole stem.

Petioles ??? Sorry this is all new

Here's a post of some defoliating done recently.

New Mars Hydro TSL2000 run

Yes how much it cost inbox me I need detail I had all the components lying around. 6 extra CXB3070 COBs along with 3 more COBs and the 6 PCBs you can see, that came inside an EcoSunLite fixture. Also had the far red fixture from a long time ago I added to it. I hacked it, gave them all their...

Welll I didn’t fully defoliate as much as some do. I’m kind of nervous that I did this a little late into flower, but during vegetation I did defoliate multiple Times to make new bud sites grow and branch out. So they should be accustomed to it ? Wish me well ! Praying the lights penetrate deeper now and I have nice big chunky colas !!!

 

[cobshopgrow]

looks like you will have big chunky colas

 

[PSUAGRO.]

Yeah I wouldn't do much unless your rh spikes, then remove large fan leaves...... Make sure you have plenty of air circulation, rot/pm can decimate the crop.

Good luck

follow up pictures after defoliation .... any more recommendations !? Completely open to advice !!!

Just keep them healthy and watch your temps/humidity. Looking good though.

Thanks brother. My rh was actually MUCH higher before defoliation. In the 50’s . This morning when I went to turn the lights off, I noticed it was down to about 33 which is more around where I would like it right ?

 

[Chip Green]

any more recommendations !?

Stand back, watch em fill up the area and enjoy the show. Don't panic if you see some leaves die off.
Avoid kneejerk reactions. Nothing good happens fast in the growroom.

Looks like a strong run happening.
