cool raider, i just noticed that shaded buds were very airy and small compared to the others, and a pain to trim

but i do agree that fan leaves create the sugars and process them etc etc...

i am also torn between removing fan leaves and leaving them, im more a fan of tucking, but also taking off some that completely shade, i would deffinately never remove all of them....such a touchy subject lol

It sounds like we are on the same page with the fans. I didn't remove any last run, this time I have been pinching off the fans that are completly blocking an adjacent bud. I do notice that after the stretch there is much more light penetration, so I am mostly tucking right now until I see what the final canopy looks like.

I remember one of the first journal's I responded to. The guy said that he removed all of his lower buds sites but NO fans. I asked him why? He responded with a harsh "Thats just what I do and I am not looking for opinions on the subject". Very touchy lol

hahaha what a response

i cant wait to prune a plants small bud sites and leave them on another side by side, compare yields, trimming difficulty, possibly even big cola flavor to popcorn flavor/potency

last run did u notice the growth under the canopy to lag behind?

Yeah, the buds under the canopy did lag begind the stuf above. If I had the time, I would have let them go another 5 days after I cut the tops.

I do trim everything under the screen, all budsites and fans. During the stretch there is quite a bit of crowding of all the large fans, but when they finish their stretch, much more light comes through.

This has probably already been asked.
You said 8 1/2 weeks flowering, That's a pretty damn fast strain.

My ? Did you grow em' from seeds? and where you get them from?

Thanks Raider.

They are sr71-PK and clone only strain. They are an 8 week flower strain, but like I said my trichs were over 50% amber at 8 1/2 weeks.

Sure man, you gonna drive up here?:bigjoint:


So I did my final pruning under the screen and decided to thin some of the large fans on top that were shading lower bud sites. I did fuckin snap off a bud with my elbow, so I cut it off at the stem. :/

You can see the canopy is not even because of the two MBS that are stretching more than the pk.
