I've been told that Northern lights is notorious for the large fan leaves. But can I trim them? Or would that be a loss of vital leaves? I'm about a week and 2 days from flipping to flower. Was trying to clear space for some more LST. Sent from my LM-V405 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Take them off , especially if they are dying or blocking flower points Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Fan leaves are vital for strong growth and they are vital for a plants overall health and they are full of stored nutrients waiting to be used at the end but if you cant tuck it then lob off just dont go crazy you need them solar panels
If your going to defoliate, I would do it like 5 days+before flipping to flower. Sufficient recover time for the plant
