Is my light enough?

@TheVirginian @Graysin @oldmarine @Low @dbrn32 should I be cutting off some leaves? Some are flat against the soil. I’m LST or trying at least. Should I be lollipopn?

If they don’t lift up away from the soil and towards the light by the time lights out happens, I’d personally be removing them.

However, I have yet to LST a plant whose leaves touched soil and stayed up against the dirt for more than a few hours.

Stand by for more experienced input.

Only fans if they are throwing shade on lower buds.

All the ones hitting soil at any point you should remove.

Better off!

Yeah ik my camera actn crazy sorry. I only cut the ones touching dirt n attached to stem not the ones going to buds. There was four off each one. I left a little stem from where I cut off utuber said gives room for issues idk

I trimmed a bunch of leaf TIPS off today. Gave the Olsen twins a “hair trim” if you will. “just the dead ends” :smiley: Where she’s eating the lower fan leaves and the ends are “burnt” looking or totally crunchy/dead and curling, i snip back to the green on their fingers and let her eat again from there. They obviously aren’t absorbing light for her anymore on the tips and it’s a huge waste of energy if she focuses ANY towards repair/rejuvenating DEATH, lol. I don’t know if it is/was a good or bad thing but SEEMED like the right thing to do for her so i did :slight_smile:

Updated pics without as much orange light.





Should I cut the other leaves off that are blocking the sun to lower buds like in pic👇?

@iDontKnowGrow
Personally I’d let them get a lil bigger.
Just remember that the leaves are the plants light engine. Take too many and the same as cutting off 2 cylinders in your engine. . :wink:

I saved all my leaves I only cut 4 off each. I’m LST so I pulled 2 more branches down and tucked some leaves I think I’ll be good. I still can’t believe they are flowering how long you think until I get some trichomes? I read autos don’t produce trichomes is that true?
