Hey im one month into flowering and i have so many colas that i fear my plant wont be able to give enough eneregy to give good fruits... and on top of that i have a bush of small leaves at the bottom : have a look . Im wondering if theres something to do... would some of you cut some colas or clean the bottom bush.... One idea that im thinking is ... let the top colas finish... cut them then lower the light to finish the lower and then cut and then reveg the small bush at the bottom.... sound cool what you think?

Also, i know it might not be the place to ask that but... i have this plant... in soil... i dont care much about it... its 1/3 the size of my plant and i dont know what to do since i can elavate the plant to take as much light as others... any ideas ... heres the plant in question loll you can actually see shes under everyone else... should i kill her or wait other plants finish and lower the light ? any ideas hypothesis philosophical thinking is appriciated

i would give her a haircut and pick up some of the inner leaves and maybe try and tie down some branches

i would let em be maybe tie em down a lil bit to let some light down to the lower branches but dont cut anything except the dead dried up leaves. otherwise u might cause alot of stress to ur girls

Yea man, leave them be. Just rig up a $8 cfl fixture or two for the lower parts.

i always take any big fan leaves off to get better penetration of light into the centre of the plant! i take handfulls of leaf off at a time. and have never had a stressed plant!

This is like taking a solar panel off the roof to let the beams hit the roof. I think it's widely known that you only take off fan leaves if they are not healthy or to make better airflow.

Well i think the solution would be to flower the top colas first and then the bottom ones (hopefully they dont finish flowering in the same time). Like that i i would not need to cut some leaves of the top colas to make space for light for lower colas. Doing so, i guess, would make top colas bigger buds since they have more leaves...

I think it would be a good decision its just that when i look at my plant i find it so bushy than i can believe it can handle all of it loll..

Making a good decision on that topic is hard, i searched internet and everyone speak the opposite... cut and others say dont cut...

By the way, why would you tie down some colas ?

Speak people, Speak !!!

i just cheked out my babies... and it turns out a lot of lower fan leaves are diing , in the end it would have be good to trim since they die by themselves anyway...
So heres the plant: I see my plant as 3 part... the top is where the first colas are flowering, the second part is in the middle, is where once the top flowered i will cut them and flower the lower part and final the third part but not the less, is the bottom where theres tha small bush for revegging...

SO im gonna remove the fan leaves from the lowest part and the bottom of the middle part...

My conclusion is that its good to trim the loweest fan leaves if they have no sun ... since the plant will get rid of anyway....

Also i think im going to add a cfl fixtures for the middle part like Dominathan said ... and im going to use them later for my veg room... Like that i dont buy cfls for nothing and ... my middle part will grow faster since they will receive some light...

My question would be , Is it better to put the cfl under the plant , in the middle or next to the top part ... like where would you put the fixtures?
