Hello
Been in flowering stage for a couple of weeks. My question is, do I need to thin out large fan leaves throughout the plant to allow more sunlight??

Also, some branches look like they are just now starting to flower, other branches are full blown into flowering. Will they catch up? Or, do I harvest branches individually as they mature and harvest others later? Make sense?

  • Seed: Do-si-dos, Photo, from ILGM
  • Vessel: Coco + Perlite, 5 gal fabric pot
  • Nutrition: Jacks 321 + Silica
  • PH of Water: 64 - 67 (I do not test runoff or ppm)
  • Environment: Outdoor
  • Location: Southern US, hot and humid
  • Temps: Upper 80s to 90s

@HMGRWN
Thanks for the reply.

The other question about removing large fan leaves and small branches interior?

Should I be doing that so the plants energy go to buds?

There are a lot of people here who would advise that. As a general rule, the lower 1/3 of the plant is not gonna produce much anyway. For indoor grows, I recommend no more than 20% total green removed at a time. Not sure about larger outdoor plants.

Outdoor plants with alot of leaves can have a 1/3 trimmed off and be ok especially off the bottom. I would trim some older fan leaves to aid in ventilation if its real humid too
