Is this safe?

  1. Is it okay if i cut off the two big leafs on the left and right side of my plant? They are blocking light and holding back new growth.[​IMG]

  3. I'd say it's definitely safe. I'd do it. Especially if it's slowing down growth.
    I'm new and also on my first grow.

  7. Hmmmmm, you are a pretty reputable source. But i have a 300w mars to grow it with so it should have enough light if i take them off right?

  8. Those 2 leaves are half of your canopy...the bigger your canopy the more light they can absorb...i wouldn't yet either I would think it would slow the growth

  10. Yeah when you start getting more nodes that are blocked by the leaves you could, I gave mine a little trim but it's bushy as fuck and now I just try and tuck the leaves behind...lots of people say different things but I just don't see any point of doing it just yet man

  11. I did the exact same...I'm super selective about it. I'd never take any off the outside of the plant just the middle of the canopy that way your canopy stays the same size

  12. Personally I would remove at least the two lowest leaves to get them off the soil. Makes it easier to water as well.
