Ok I started growing cheato in my Sump area. It has grown from about a softball size to now almost a basketball size. So I am getting ready to trim it. I am using for export.
So my question is when it’s about basketball size do you just pull it out and cut some off the edges or how do people trim it back of export purposes.
I don’t want to grow it just to mess up. Lol

You'll get much more nutrient export if you wait for it to grow as much as possible before harvesting. I'd wait for it to fill the sump.

Edit: sorry, you said basketball size. I thought you said baseball size!
