My banana kush is growing pretty thick and having trouble deciding how much to take off or what I should exactly. Any advice is welcome, I have a little grow journal going on.
This is my blackberry, not as dense, but similar issue, opinions on what I should trim? I have a mango not pictured because it’s redundant.
I just know air flow is very important I know the leaves are important also.
If it were me, as long as they are photos, i would top them. The budding shoots will break free and grow out quicker and sooner
I do need to top soon. Was hoping for another couple inches in hight growth first, but maybe that’s pushing it. I’ve been snipping fan leaves that either block the light from other growth or snip leaves that are lower and on inside where light can’t reach well.
I cut off anything that touches the dirt of gets in the way of watering. You will lose those lower leaves eventually anyway.
I dont take any healthy leaves till flower (other than the ones that fade normaly) then only for blocking bud sites. I have air flow under the scrog so not even for air flow. I let the plant drop what it wants and leave the “solar panels” alone as they have a job to do. I do however remove all grouth from under the scrog in mid flower as they get little light and are not needed.
I cleaned and did some leaf removal, all in flower all needed attention the cans had some debris in it but you can get an Idea on how much I chose to remove today
I topped/fimmed few min ago. Going to give it a day of rest then I’m going to take those large fan leaves on the front banana k off as they are starting to block light.
Thank all to the responses.
Het Tros, i’m a newbie too and the people on this site are fantastic and normally willing to help in any way! I read a post suggesting a guy on you tube for training and defoliation videos. It’s must see tv imo. His name is Bill Ward.
