finish up with a smaller harvest. Leave fan leaves alone where and
when you can.
The only times when you should remove a fan leave is when it
is either dying, badly burnt or covering a large bud mass. In a SOG or
a ScrOG set-up you may want to remove a fan leaf or two because it is
covering the bud mass of another plant. Light is the probably the most
important factor in bud development and if the fan leaf is preventing
light from reaching the bud, then you may want to remove it. Read the
ScrOG section again about clipping leaves.
You should remove any dead leaves from the
bottom of your plant and throw them away. Never leave the dead
leaves on your soil as a fertilizer. These dead leaves tend to attract
unwanted pests.
Thinning:
This really only applies to outdoor growers, but some indoor
set-ups such as ScrOG, SOG and BOG may need to be thinned.
Growers like to grow their plants in a uniform condition. That
is - growers like all their plants to be the same height. That way we
can perfectly arrange our light so that it is not too far away or close to
the tops. If one plant is racy then we would have to adjust the light to
suite that plant. This means that we may end up with light gaps like
the following.
