trim these healthy fan leaves? 9th day flowering

[rick3066]

been advised to defoliate by a couple of folks ..1 of which has grown some badass herb.
I want happy plants!...

I'd say definitely leave those healthy looking fan leaves alone. Others will say to definitely strip that bitch way down. What strain is it? If it's an autoflower then most will agree to leave it alone and let it do it's thing.

I like to spend time looking at my plant from all angles, Under, Above, and all sides, and I remove only the leaves that cannot be tucked out of the way to allow light through.

I also start by removing leaves from the LOWEST branches first, and I remove the leaves closet to the stalk first.

I'd chop those leaves off and get some light to those bud sites....but that's just my opinion.

good lookin plant man,,,rock on!

Al you need is a matchbox and a little sand paper. Line the bottom of the match box with sandpaper, I've seen a few folks use 320 grit. Place seed(s) into the matchbox, shake around a bit, then proceed with the germination technique of your choice.

I use my girlfriends nail file on the smooth side. Just drag the seed across it lightly, plant it 1/2" down into soil, and keep it moist. I have 100% germination this way.

How old is this seed, and where/how was it stored?

 

[MikeTbob]

I would have given up on a seed after 10 days. More power to ya buddy.
