Was very interested in views on, cutting fan leaves off nearer the end, in my case usually 11 wks. I am at wk 7 now. This is my second go at it and knowledge from the first was invaluable with the sites help via reading was an enormous move forward for me.......

Is it beneficial to remove the fans diverting growth to colas ??.....and other popcorn ?...........

my first lot 7 fast bud, i put em in dark at end for 3 nights, did puff em up quite well.........but i did not cut fan leaves of from inter-nodes though.....would it have improved my sweet seeds outcome ???........

Please help! experience needed...........maybe some do some don't cut ??....

happy new global year to all.........cant wait for summer found a nice gorilla grow spot.........

Personally I don't like to remove a lot of leaves. Earlier on, maybe around week 5 or 6, I may remove some small buds in close to the main stalk and a few lower fan leaves. I do this more to open up the bottom of the plant for ease of watering and better air circulation. After that, I'll tuck some of the bigger ones out of the way of the buds but that's about it.
