should you trim fan leaves on autos yay or nay

I'm in week 5 into my grow on my auto and I was wondering should I trim some of the bigger fan leaves so more light can get to them. Let me know what you guys think.

Tuck them under. Any time you "disturb" an auto, it hampers development.

hello aridbud :wave: do you think its better to not defoliate at all even with tall autos ?
Do it if you want.....
We don't. Having done so (many side by side comparisons)....it did slow down growth, slightly less yield.
Some or many will say there's no set back (we beg to differ)....so do what you want....there's many ways to grow autos.

thank you aridbud, if i may ask you a question about feeding auto, and it will be off topic sorry, how do we adapt a nutrients schedule to auto ? for example if im using canna nutrients and should i stop the veg nutrient and begin flower nutrient as soon i see first clusters of pistils ? approximatly 30 days from seeds depending of strains i supose, does auto eat less i mean should i use a lower EC ? thank you

Most switch to bloom nutes once stretching has stopped. Some start earlier. 1.5 EC is the max I've used so far,
