[din'e medicine]

Shes short and bushy. Im using a 150 watt HPS and four-40wt. warm flouros. Should i cut some fan leaves off or leave it as is?

Personally I would be trimming those lower leaves and small branches off but thats just how I prefer to do it.

How tall is the plant and how much longer do you plan to veg it for?

 

[din'e medicine]

the plant is around 13-14 inches and 21 days flowering

i would top it and move the lights closer , assuming that the lights aren't already as close as possible that is. what are u using for nutes? looks as though you may need to back off a little on them. and to answer your last question DONT TAKE ANY LEAVES OFF THAT ARENT AT LEAST 50 PERCENT DAMAGED OR DEAD! it will stunt the growth and possibly effect your harvest if you were to keep trimming them throughout her life.

I would leave it alone its so small, it needs all the leafs to supply the buds with energy. But I to trim out the spindly stems and bottoms before flowering like Blaze. But they are much bigger and fuller than yours.

Don't top it ! She will stress hard, bad Idea.

I wouldnt top it either but its at a good size to FIM. Dont take much notice of posts like smokinjade because trimming plants is a good way to help increase yield.

Would you fim in flower? I have fimed the flowers just as soon as they appear, but never straight fimmed in flower?

Nah I only FIM during veg. FIMming during flower seems kind of pointless.
I just realised he stated his plant was already in flower so my bad on that one. Few too many maybe.

i dont trim fan leaves untill the plants are well into their flowering stage!

Soo, clipping the bottom fan leaves is ok? Green or, not, I do want the lower sprouts to get more light and some bottom leaves arent getting the shine of light, except from the side flouros.

Yeah its ok and if anything it will only stunt its growth for a day or 2 which is no big deal. I prefer to do all my trimming before flowering though.
