============================================
Here's a little update !!

21 days into flowering now (pic)

I think going SOG would've given me better results because look how crowded they are... but hey it's my first grow right !

you should pull off some of those big leaves.

they are using up all their stored nitrogen. i often give mine a little bump of N right about now.

plants will probably do what the "think" (through natural selection, the ones that do this will go on to reproduce, like a snake shedding it's skin) is best for their survival and ability to reproduce. Although you might want to trim some fan leaves to give light to the bud depending on your strain. I personaly leave all my leaves on because when they turn yellow that is the plant taking the nutrients, as a lot or you have already said, form that leaf for another part of the plant, ever notice that that leaves yellow form the bottom up?

 

[misshestermoffitt]

Isn't this whole thread about "trimming off fan leaves is bad, very bad"? Why would you even say that?

take a look in my photo album I posted a couple of my toys just missing a decent shot of the Big Dog !
LOL

OK so now I'm 23 days into flowering and thought that this is a good time to trim the bud that is going to turn into dust when dried and then more juice will make its way upto the good nugs.
This would mean triming the lower third of the plant ! OR Do I just leave it as is and keep the dust for some butter ??????????????????

I cant be bothered debating, use your common sense!

Damn, I was gonna say get a room when I was reading up to the 13th, 14th, 15th page or so but it seems like y'all are back on track. Talking about scooters and poking fun at yanking off big fan leaves. This thread turned out pretty good. Whats up with those plants on steroids? Need a bloddy chainsaw to trim them!!

 

[Quebec Big Dog]

So this is what I have decided too do.

In about 8 days or when they are ready I will harvest all the top colas and then I will continue flowering for another 5 to 10 days depending how the plants react and harvest the rest !!!

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I'm interested in the results. I wonder if once the tops colas are removed if that will help plump up the remaining buds?
