New Grower Fan vs Node leaves aid bud growth?

[VapedAs]

Hey Guys n Gals, I am on the last 10-14 days of my PJem and a week back I chopped a finger off each of the 3 finger leaves to give light to below(worked). Now I'm at a point where there is possibly enough node leaves to finish the plant if they just given some light. They are much smaller atm than the fans but look to have 3 fingers.

As the top is all yellow with 2 amber hairs plus starting to crystal up the leaves around the buds:smoke:

Questions I'm asking really are: the fan leaves job almost done? and will more light on the node leaves/buds n hairs be worth it?

Trying to get pics up..

side shot is a couple days old, so has grown some.

The plant stores energy in the fan leaves which it draws upon in the last couple weeks of it's life. As the plant draws on that energy the buds fatten up. So rather than removing them it's better to just tuck them out of the way if they are shading the buds. Personally, I don't remove any fan leaves with the exception of a few near the bottom that may be laying on the soil or getting wet when I water.

Yeah, the only branches/leaves I fully removed were the first round and single finger leaves after our convo about bleaching I think it was. Damn, "Tucking" and my shakey sober hands again.. hahaha heres trouble.

Will give it a go even if I have to tie some of the sturdier ones out of the way. Probably continue what I've been trying this afternoon also, which is lowered the light to a side view and rotating plant intamitantly. while still lighting the top at all those times. Most hours its just in the lil white corner with reflective top. Node leaves have made instant positive effect of liveliness.

Thankyou for speedy response as always Muddy!
