Should I prune?

[GrowerGal]

Hi everyone

Three out of four of my girls are 2.5 months old. One is 1.5 months old. I've been using LST since they were young. Started growing them inside mid March. Since mid May, they are growing on my balcony in fabric pots.

They got some kind of infection and I had to remove some fan leaves and smaller leaves a month ago. A week ago I think I gave some of the plant nute burn. Now the foliage is getting a bit carried away with dead tips. Would taking away the smaller sugar leaves and some other smaller fan leaves affect growth through these summer months?

Your help would be apprecia

Yea, prune lower growth. Not to much tho

I personally wouldnt take sugar leaves off. Are they flowering right now? If so i would wait till the stretch is over and do a good cleaning.

For outdoor growing i say no. Clean off dying growth, let all the leafs take is all the sun

I would say no, dosen't look like to much blocking the light there.

They are unfortunately flowering. Trying to reverse it. I took off the leaves which weren't getting much light. Also the leaves that were dying, drying, and diseased.

They look fine to me. There’s nothing wrong with doing a “little pruning” once in a while, but you want to keep as many of the healthy fan leaves as possible. Any dying leaves or ones that are touching the dirt can be removed, as well as any larf. Spreading out the branches will also help to get sun light deeper into the plant.

They’re fine. Look like they need some time to gain strength. I’d recommend not pruning just yet. Wait till it gains health as they snowball so will increasingly improve over time. Wait a month and you’ll see it boost.

Thank you for your advice. I train regularly to keep height and have nice distribution of buds. I'll try to move them around today for better light penetration.
