  1. I have just recently started low stress training my plant it is currently 31 days old from seed and I was wondering should I move any fan branches out of the way of the main stem? Or just let them be?

    This is 1 of those areas where there is some debate. But from a strictly commercial agriculture point of view (my profession).... As long as you have decent airflow and humidity isn't a problem there shouldn't be a need to thin anything out. But with cannabis in veg stage where higher humidity is desirable even that isn't really a concern. More leaves = more photosynthesis = faster/healthier growth (provided there is a sufficient feeding regiment of course). It strikes me that if low stress is the desired means of training you would prefer not to stress your plant out in other ways. so leave them be and stay the course I say. My 2c
     
  3. Alright thanks fauxroux, should I tie them to the side? So that way there out of the way of the main stem so it can get light? Not remove the leave :)
     
  4. with low stress training you can either tie them down or if they're healthy enough you can squeeze the stem where you want to bend the plant and then bend it right over in that spot (where you squeezed).


    I do it all the time to keep my plants short and wide - no problem. The plants will grow a knot where you squeezed it and keep right on truckin.

  5. Alright thanks for the advice jerry well appreciated :)
     
  6. Did you mean move or remove? Moving shade leaves are no problem. Taking them off do remove some of the plants abiltity to make energy.
     
  7. I meant move :) thanks Guys
