Hello everyone,

Yeah there no problem removing them.
Any large fan leafs that are covering budsites too can get removed

I'll post a picture in the morning it just so Tony didn't know if it would cause a problem. It already has the branch growing from the leaf site.
Thanks

Thanks,
So what about the 2 bottom leaves? There are branches coming from the leaf sites.

So I cut the 2 bottom leaves and it's still really low to the soil

I raised the light to give me a DIL of 20. They are starting to stretch a bit should I start LST now? They are 22 days now. Fastbuds Strawberry Banana is on the right.

Thanks for your advice.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Those leaves touching the soil aren't even gong to last through pre-flower, they'll turn brown and fall away by themselves. In general it's good practice not to let foliage touch the soil as it can promote moisture damage, insects, mold, etc but if you're maintaining proper Humidity in your grow space two bottom fan leaves aren't going to cause you trouble but your plants look far enough along that cutting those leaves off aren't going to hurt at all.

So I started the LST I removed the leaves blocking new growth and the bottom leaves.
