    Default Plant leafs so close to the soil

    Hey, what would anyone do with these. I’m still in veg at the moment. When potting my germinated seeds I think I’ve Potted the roots/steams too low causing the leafs/branches to grow so low in the pots. My plan is to possibly veg these another 2 weeks then go 12/12. What would you do with the bottom branches/leaves so close to the soil as I know they’ll get no light and I’m not sure the plants going to grow up to leave some space to see the stock/stem.

    Thanks

    When you say the stretch are you meaning the first 2-3 weeks of flower? Would you then trim the bottom leafs? Thanks

    I remove any fan touching my soil. I don't mind low hangers, but direct contact is a no in my grow. Nonflying creepy crawlers have only one route to get onto my plants making it easier to spot them.

    I remove the lower fan leaves and stems. Manly to increase air flow.
    Unless you plan on scrogging.
    I do all my trimming before I flip to 12 and 12.
