Because of the fan ...

[fhydro]

Did you ever notice that some big leaves swaying in the wind of the fan can hurt slightly some buds, rubbing against it ? In that case, the hairs of the bud become very short and brown... Is it recommended to let this occur ? Does it occur in your garden ?

I just tuck the larger fan leaves out of the way or tie them back to the main branch using twist ties.

during only flower or both?

do the fan leaves not need much light?

[Zandor]

I tuck whenever it needs it, no matter what the cycle is.

The fan leaves are used mostly for internal temperature control, they do need some light to do their job and to make chlorophyll.

OK IC

in the shade the shade leaves are fine.
they got big due to heat, which means your still will have a problem if heat is still an issue.

time to tuck!

tuck tuck goose



and Tuck you!

No, do not remove your fan leaves.

You can remove some...but certain ones only and after a lot of experience.

Its best to leave them alone.
