Are leaves on a plant really necessary?

[Nice Dreamz]

if i kept the plant out of direct sunlight and kept trimming the leaves. would it live? that would be alot safer because everone knows what the universal 5 part leaf is

[Nice Dreamz]

it would be a hellava lot less noticable

[Nice Dreamz]

even maybe deforming the leaves with a pair of scissors? to make them look irregular like oak leaves

[Nice Dreamz]

would they live that way, has anyone tried this?

[Nice Dreamz]

either of those would help

well seeing as how that is where a lot of photosynthesis happens i dont think the buds would get to big, because my friend did that and he didnt get very big heavy buds, he got fluffy lil ones.... still bomb but couldve gotten a lot more..

A plant used leaves as its way of getting energy. If you cut its leaves off it wont have energy to live

Yes leaves on a plant are necessary. I would not recommend ever taking them off unless it's already dying or dead or very close to harvest.

The leaves provide surface area for the plant to absorb sunlight, and that is essential to photosynthesis. It's how the plant lives. If it weren't essential, the plant would not have them, because it would be able to live without them. It's all about evolution. It has evolved to produce the most effective way of absorbing sunlight... so cutting the leaves up to make it look misleading would make it less effective. And I'm sure these aren't the only reasons that the leaves look like they do. So no, don't cut the leaves up, your plant will not be efficient enough in the environment to be healthy.
