trimming outside?

Hi i've got 3 plants outside now. They've been vegging for a month inside then outside for 2 weeks. I was wondering if I should trim off some of the fan leaves or should I just let them grow?

pics ?

Yeah it really depends on how big they are.
you can cut off the bottom leaves gives the plant more energy.

Don't remove ANYTHING unless it is obviously senescent. Those leaves are there for a reason - they take in photons and convert it to plant matter. Cutting healthy leaves from a healthy plant, esp. outdoors, is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Don't do it, it's not good for the plant. I know some people advocate removing fan leaves, but I don't for the reason I just gave, and because time is at a premium in the field. That is (duh) when you're most likely to be busted - minimize field TIME - maximize effort. The time you spend trimming isn't worth what you gain, in terms of risk. Get in and out, fast.

As for your single track spot - are there treelines? An area with shrubs/forbs along the treeline? If so, put a few there along the tree line, inside the drip line (unless they are walnut trees) to hide from the choppers.

Unless the leaves are dead, I wouldn't touch them!
