Keep in mind what Stonergrower said about the fan leaves as they are like solar panels to the plant. What style of grow method will you be using mystic? I'm planning on doing 12/12 from seed with strains that don't have much lateral branching, sort of like SOG so I can pack in a bunch and get a quality single colas. This will hopefully eliminate the need for pruning and growth will be on a fast track. I got my inspiration from atmosphere1's journal. Check it out if you are interested in this style, the yield speaks for itself IMO.

I'm considering doing SOG. This first time my plants grew really big and bushy. Which is a blessing, but I wasn't prepared for them to take up so much space. I had been pulling off smaller buds on the bottom branches to redirect the plants energy into the larger end cola buds. Which worked amazingly. But I want to be more methodical about this so I don't have to do as much back breaking work. I've heard people say that you have to choose whether you want bushy plants with many buds or huge colas on your plants. And that you have to sacrifice one for the other. It would be great to have both.
I'll check out the journal you suggested, Thanks again.
