On a previous thread I asked about clones and I was convinced the way the leaves are growing is fine.......so my last quest is about clipping these or trimming....because some of these leaves are enormous especially at the top.......so i was wondering how to go about it.....because my under leaves are small and not getting much light even with milar........

you can tie ur plant down to one side/ tie it down to make a bush... and it will let more light to the main stem and lower branches there for making more "popcorn" buds at the bottom of the plant

or you can add a few cfl's for side lighting

The only reason you should be trimming leaves when growing outside is to remove the dead/sick/infected. Our sun is a wondrous thing, penetrating even the thickest of canopies, feeding life to all heavenly buds that grace our gardens.

I've seen some pretty heated arguments on this subject. There are definitely two schools of thought: some people believe in clipping and some don't. Here is an excellent synopsis paper that examines both techniques:http://www.marijuana-marihuana.com/i...o_pdf=1&id=138
