Trim or not to trim

  1. Is is a good idea to trim so larger leaves off when the plant is flowering?

    I am not sure it is a good or bad idea so figured I'd ask before I do it.
     
  2. What I do is trim the fan leaves off that are blocking light to bud sites.
     
  3. I wouldn't during flowering, the plant will start losing leaves on its own and not replacing them so no need to rush that process along.
     
  4. When do they start doing this unless there's a deficiency or the leaves are getting no light and therefore die?

    On a side note, bud sites receiving more light swell much faster than ones that don't.
     

  5. And that is where my question was, not just to prune for a bushy plant, but to clear up some so that I can get better penetration of light.

    Thanks!
     
  6. there are way to many leafs on a weed plant that are pointless.if the leaf is not coming out of the bud pull it
