fan leaves

I am growing special kush #1 and it is 17 days old and I have 4 fan leaves the dame size of my hand could I cut like half of them or just take them off cause they are blocking all the under growth and I am doing scrog and it has been topped

in my opinion just take off 2 that are across from eachother if that helps wait a week take of the other 2

Hello,

They are you re plant energy captor. You dont want to remove them that early because they are the one who bring all the essential stuff inside the plant. If canopy is a problem cut them by half but if you can avoid messing with them, let em do their job until you start pruning the plant. This way you will avoid early stage stress.

If your plant is tall enough to start training, you can prune them. They are below the canopy and will not receive light to photosynthesize.

I agree with all, its ok to trim large light blocking leaves as long as you dont strip the plant. I would wait for more growth though.

Ok I am doing scrog and could I lst it first and then put the net on later
