Anything I can do to get these buds fatter?

[Grizzlychip]

I haven't really trimmed anything since veg and I'm day 15 into flower I just trimmed some of the leaves that were blocking the tops today and was wondering if I shouldn't cut leaves or what to do next

Wait

Pretty sure you are on pace to have the fattest buds ever! Nice plant.

Thanks it's my first time growing anything

 

[TreeFarmerCharlie]

Yup, just wait. They start out really slow, and almost seem to pause for a bit, and then they start taking off.

That looks incredible for a first grow. You’ll get some killer flowers on that shrub!

So I shouldn't trim anymore of the leaves? Just let it do its thing?

if it’s your first I would leave it. Nice job so far!

That thing is asking for powdery mildew or budrot. You need to clean the inside of that plant out. Look at the stems and take the smallest 15-20% branches off

 

[TreeFarmerCharlie]

Yeah, I would leave he be and let her do her thing. I wouldn’t worry about removing any leaves unless you have really high humidity in there and it starts to smell stale.

Do you have air curculation in the tent? Oscillating fan?

 

[ianc4990]

And your temp prob should be at canopy level, not under the plant. Youre doing awesome if this is your first grow and you are doing dwc. Its very unforgiving.

Theres a fan blowing up her skirt. I thought the middle looked a little crowded but I figured that fan is probably helping a lot. The plant doesn’t seemed bothered by it to me.

edit: I take that back. I just zoomed in on my phone and the middle of the plant is really crowded so I see what you were saying.

Its not now that you have to worry. Every branch that is close to touching right now, will start to fill in with swell. You dont really want anything that close. The point of the net you have, is to spread the branches apart to give buds room to grow and light room to get low. Im all about a bunch of branches, they just need spaced out further.

Sorry for the confusion, I’m not the OP, I was just commenting on it because I initially didn’t think the plant looked as crowded as it is. I had to zoom in on the upskirt to see all the stems.

 

[ianc4990]

I like to grab little branches from the bottom, then look at the plant from the top. I wiggle the branch, and if i cant see it from top, it get chopped. I got tired of trying to trim larf and having so much unbagable bud.

It’s nice to tuck leaves to expose your prime sites rather than defoliation but in your case u got a bushy one ur gonna need to do a lot of both! Nicee work

I have a fan blowing in through the bottom and I got some those stragglers that won't hit the top should I cut them off? Then ive been spreading them out but some aren't long enough to pull through the next square of netting

Plus it's a 4x4 tent almost takes up the whole thing

Yes, I would just thin out the stragglers a little bit. You don’t need to go hog wild, you just want to remove enough to help air move through the canopy from underneath the plant.
