I'm finishing second week of flowering, it's my first grow, this is 63rd day of growing form seed i found in a bag. Because it's my first grow I made lot of mistakes probably, and that is probably why my flowers are not growing much, or maybe it is because I didn't cut down big leafs. And that is my question should I cut of most of the leafs which are not attached to flowering branches? Thank you all for any opinions.

She looks right for week 2. As for cutting the fan leaves??? People have different ideas. But I do in week 2. I want as much light getting to the whole plant. And it forces the midle size leaves to pull away and become the new fan leaves. You you start to see that within a day to 2. It dose stress them out so you lose a few days but not much. Then I won't tuch then till final week. That's when I pull dead and dying fans. Helps with less trimming and let's light down to lower buds. Hardens up some of the airy popcorn buds. IMO.

Your plant looks good. I only trim leafs that are laying on top of my other buds or 25% dead.

Looking good. 2weeks no sacks is good but don't get ahead of your self. Do you see the hairs starting at the nodes yet? And as far as cutting the leaves. Read the few posts above this. That's another question that everyone has something different to say. And really can't say any is wrong. I'd all depends on what works for you. All I can say do what you feel comfortable with and next grow do it different. Same with the one after that. Then decide what you like. But if you do cut I'll give you a hint. Cut just the leaf leave the stem. It will die and fall or pull off a few weeks later. Not leaving it to trim at harvest time.

Just be careful leaving them on like that if you get to humid they mold quicker.

Lilly poped like crazy. The branches look a little small and weak. So be ready to tye them up when buds form. You will see the mid size leaves become larger in a few days. You did put about 4 days of stress on them so add that to your finishing time. But looks like your on a good track.

Hemp or nylon string works good. Stay away from yarn. The hairs can get in the buds. As for the stress time is all you need. But you can give potassium silicent to help strangthen them.
