why do you want to prune during flowering? to let light through? it stunts and shocks the plant so i recommend bending/folding the leaves out of the way.
So its bad to remove big leveas that cause shadowing. So dont ever trim during bloom just let it grow and pull any leves that are 50% or more yellow and dieing.
it's ok to clip the dead/dieing ones. and imo (and many other's opinion too) don't trim fan leaves just so light can get through, unless absolutley nessesary (bad spelling i know). experiment with just folding/tucking them under the buds or anywhere out of the way. every couple days they will spring back up, but the reason for not wanting to prune them is those leaves play an important role in photosynthesis, bud and resin production. there is more to it then that, but i don't know all the specifics. in a nutshell, the plants needs those leaves to live to their fullest just like humans need our hands to eat/feed ourselves. sorry i can't give a better explanation, but i just got off work and i'm blitzed!
To put it simple the fan leaves create the food that makes your buds grow big. Stop prunning your plant, only remove leaves if they are dead.
I dont mean to be rude and I am not trying to steal this thread, but I was bondering about pruning during veg what is too much and what is too little?
too much is cutting leaves off that are living, and u can never prune too little... only remove dead leaves or u are hurting the plant.
Yup, any amount is too much, unless you are doing it for a very good reason. Trimming and pruning because "you heard you were supposed to", is crazy. -mu
okay, assume that you have followed someone else's bad advice and hacked off all the sun leaves except for those at the top during vegetaton. suppose also that the plant seems to have stopped growing, and turning towards the light when moved. How long should one expect the plant to take to recover and resume growth? After all everyone makes mistakes....
