good flowers or too much leaf?

[ricketyross]

Those was taken on day 26 of flower. I'm on 28 now and the buds just keep getting bigger.
I know I'm asking about a highly debated topic. But I don't want to stunt growth but I also want big buds so what are yalls opinion on removing the leaf or just tie them all back and trim when they completely yellow out.

u buds are looking good. you can remove leaves if you like, at this point i dont think it will slow the growth as the plant is concentrating on the buds and not plant growth..

I'd limit defoliation now to only the places it's absolutely necessary.

 

[ricketyross]

Yeah I came to the conclusion to tie the branches down to the air pot to spread them out

 

[Antics]

tying things down is always the least stressful for the plant. Good choice!

Paper clips as anchors in hole of the air pot and hemp twine. Thinking of buying some of those bendz 90° clips later on. Those should be interesting not having to deal with the twine when I have to water.

Lot of leaves, I'd prune a little.

 

[ricketyross]

Yeah I was pruning a little here and a little there. But I noticed every time I would prune. My buds wouldn't grow as much as the couple of days I didn't prune. So you figure the plants stresses when you cut leaves and I should have done it before I flipped to flower. I made the mistake of waiting to long and my canopy is too thick now. So I'm going to spread the buds out with the twine. The stems are not too woody so they won't break .next time though I'm gonna do a properly done prune before I switch the light .

So I tied them off and it's looking great.
