Hope I’m not posting too many questions.
2nd grow…. (but first auto and first indoor).
My question (on down) is regarding fan leaves and LST.
The plant would be over 12” if I didn’t tie her down. You can see in the pic that it is now very short, squaty and dense.
She has what I “think” will be 6 colas. But I’m struggle to get light to some of them. I tie down what I can and “tuck” leaves as I can.
— Question - Is it acceptable to trim a few leaves in order for the colas to get light? Or should I let it grow more and ultimately be able to tuck and tie for better light?
