Here is a pic before the Fimming

And after the haircut! Hopefully I cut it in the right place. if not its not really that big of a deal.
Here is a shot looking up her skirt.

please dont cut any leaves!
the plant uses leaves for energy. when you cut them off the plant is using more energy to grow back more leaves then buds.
you will also notice towards the end of flowering the leaves will start to die. that its competely normal. the plant is sucking its last bit of life from them for the juicy buds!

I completely agree that you should leave all leaves alone on the plant. I only cut half of the primary new growth as to top it and create more primary shoots. I am working with a short closet and need to keep her nice and short. Only half of the leave will be missing from where i cut.
I will only be doing this just this one time. Fimming is a great way to increase yields when dealing with short rooms.
Speaking of this I got in a heated discussion with a fellow grower about cutting leaves the other day. I just couldnt get him to understand that the plant needs all its leaves. more leaves equal more light intake which equals to be more energy for the plant to grow with.
he is under the impression that taking all the fan leaves off a plant makes it grow faster and bushier. i cant help but laugh when i hear him explaining it.

I got the fem five pack from nirvana.
i had
2 in rock wool
3 in soil
The only one that grew was one of the soil sown seeds.
Good luck to you bro. I noticed that nirvana is doing a sale on ten packs right now for papaya.
Best advice I can give is keep the seeds warm and moist. not drenched just moist.
