Good morning I have a question I've been reading during flowering after 5 weeks the plant no longer uses its fan leaves to photosynthesis if anyone one can shie some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. As you all know I'm working with a cfl setup and I want to pull a good percentage of the fan leave off my ladies to get that extra light penetration on the lower bud sites
Do it. Those fans, although good in veg and early flower are just using up energy that could be put into flower production now. The plant is no longer growing bro, all its focus is on reproduction...give the girl what she needs to grow fat calyxes
