Hi I’ve gave my plants another week to close gaps and I’m wondering if these are now at the stage to flip and go into flowering? Within the next few days I feel like I can tuck all the tops down to close the final few gaps and then the only way will be to grow up? That should give it at least two weeks to grow upwards and push further? Also what would anyone recommend on taking away fan leaves to give buds more light is this needed or shall I just leave them to grow how they do naturally?

Looking much better yo!...I'd say tuck em and flip em .they will keep stretching for a week or two when u go 12 12.trim off all the leaf and small new growth under the net.and I'd take a few leafs off the top around potential bud sites too...well done looking good! Peace

Thanks mate! I’ve just flipped today and I’m going to start taking away leaves. Should I take away all the leaves that are in the way of bud sites in one big go or take away a few daily? I want the plant to grow as much as possible now? I’ve read to take them all in one go about 14-21 days into flowering in order for my plants to keep growing to their full potential?

This is below the nets and how I have took away the leaves and the thinner branches so far

That extra week done justice mate, all looking good so far, don't go mad taking the fan leaves, to much or the wrong ones is seriously going to affect your yield, I'd start by taking just a couple at a time rather than one big stressful haul, (in the wild a couple of leaves here and there would happen naturally) so this is the approach I took on mine, just my opinion, far more experienced guys and gals on here to enlighten you but it's a personal approach sort of thing
That sounds like a good theory to be honest I did think personally take them in one hit towards the end of growth and then it would shock for a couple of days but it would have the full growth then go into flowering but what your saying makes sense. It’s hard as people have different theories I may just do half the tent a few leaves here and there then the other half one big go about 14 days in and see what yields more after as it’s all the same strain so I’ll know what works best or not then I guess?

Personally, I take anything in the way of bud sites, the strip a few here and there all the way through flower (I'm just coming to the end of my second grow) and for me I'm going to stick with this method in future, depending on how the strain grows, this run was zkittles and she was very dense and bushy so needed daily maintenance taking leaves away for good air flow and light penetration, just each to there own bud
