Those aren’t big enough to bother. Generally speaking, only remove the leaves that are dying back or ones shadowing bud sites. The only leaves (and limbs) I remove are ones low down that I know are not getting enough light and will only result in larfy popcorn bud

Thanks for your help I’ll get rid of those lower leaves and move the leaves are covered bud sites

Are you sure those plants are 2 months ? They look more like 2 weeks. You're lights must not be doing the trick because they are way small for 2 months.
This is how mine look at 2 months.

buds-buddy
they were germinated on June 27 that’s question that I actually have to
Do you count the very first month Of July from germination Or would August be the first full month this part is really confusing
Thanks

When the plant sprouts ("breaks ground"), that's day one.

Buds Bunny: He appears to be using blurple(s) to grow his cannabis. So it could well be that the plants really are two months old, lol.

BtW: If it really was helpful to remove all those fan leaves... The plants wouldn't immediately start spending their finite resources on producing new ones. Also, tomato (, pepper, cucumber, et cetera) plants would only produce a tiny fraction of the fruit that they do .

what kind of light are you using @Joey2122 that intensity looks very weak. perhaphs lower the hight of the light. here is mine from july 20th. The first day the 1st set of leafs came out of the dirt.

You can check my latest. I raped quite a few fans, but not any that were important to the plant. I did it to let light and air in. If it was blocking a strong chute, I removed it. But they seem to turn stem red for me... those are the ones I personally removed. I don’t have much experience yet, but I’ve researched a lot and had help on here. Don’t ever worry about bending them down, just not until they crack. I stretch mine (I theorize it strengthens the branches.) just give them a few days whenever you stress the plants at all. Play around, but research it.

Also, people here won’t steer you the wrong way. Ask someone with a few finished journals under their belt. Those peeps are usually pretty active.

I've grown 6' monsters with Blurples. But they were high quality $1000 lights. All the cheap knock offs are crap. About the cheapest Blurple I would use is a Meizhi 600 watt reflector series which is about the same price as a Mars Hydro TSW 2000 & will do the same size area. Of course I'd take the Mars over the Meizhi because of white LED's.
But Blurples will grow good plants if they are quality ones. I had to use a SCROG Net up top to keep branches off the lights.

those are all essentially chinese amazon lights. so - so at best to start with. you'll quickly find a road to an upgrade running those things. light is your # 1 most important variable, and the hardest to navigate for a beginner.


none of those advertised wattages are actual.
