I noticed in a lot of videos there's a whole load of cola buds but hardly any leaves, i wanted to know if when buds really start to come through, am i supposed to pluck some of the leaves that block the buds so the buds get the light or do the leaves harvest the light and put energy into the buds? If not, what leaves do i pull off? I'm currently in week 4 of veg and i'm using LST if that helps, sorry if this question's been asked before, i searched and couldn't find anything like it.
A lot of guys take off big fans to let more light and airflow to the middle/bottom. I believe it helps in an indoor environment but is detrimental outdoor.
Late into flowering they will die off. I don't really think i would go and cut off a bunch of fans now. I have seen people cut these leaves off but do it over a period of time.
Selectively remove a few to let light in and help with air flow. Not good to just strip the plant of all its leaves though. mj
