Hey Marcus hope your having a nice weekend Amigo.I know numbnuts I know!!! Nice looking buds on that plant by the way... I see you finally got to where you're going it's about damn time!!!
I remember just so little long ago you was sitting in your rocking chair watching plants grow having nothing to smoke......
I am very proud of you Dust!!
Honestly to be truthfully honest if I see a fan leaf that I don't like or I see it blocking a beautiful young bud that's starting to grow it's just me but I yank that shit!
I've grown plants before and I cut every single fucking leaf off of it just like it was trimming it up to dry 2 weeks before it was even ready never fazed it!!
I mean hell look what I did with Camilla I stripped her butt fucking naked so many times never fazed her she just kept coming back stronger!!!
Honestly in my opinion I think the whole fan leaf shit is a myth!
I think they will still get their nutrients reguardless because they're pulling it from the damn stem that the branch is stuck to for God's sake so in other words they're still going to get their damn nutrients!
That's how I see about fan leaves......
Fan leaves absorb energy from your light transferring it to your girls.
Nutrients come from the roots your right there, but without transportation through the leaves she won't draw up those nutrients.
So without fans the bulk of your nutrients sit in the pot.
And there is no light energy for growth.
Some trimming is OK but stripping all the fans isn't good. Imo.
Maby you don't have to go to the extent I do but cutting off fans and regrowing sounds redundant to me.
I like to grow buds not leaves.
Once my leaves are in place I grow buds.
Regrowing leaves you already had is wasting her energy that could be used for expansion.
Just my 2 cents, don't get mad at me.
Take care.
Stay safe
