Tie.hem.o.the.side.if.you.like.but.don't.cut.them. .fan.leaves.are.the.powerhouses.that.make.the.ener gy.for.the.buds.to.grow,the.buds.themselves.produc es.little.energy.to.feed.themselves..
My.Afghanis.are.super.bushy.and.buds.are.always.hi dden.so.I.do.a.gradual.harvest.and.take.the.top.bu ds.then.put.the.bttoms.back.in.the.flwer.room.for. a.week.so.the.buds.fill.out.and.mature.

I.saw.a.picture.around.here.of.a.plant.where.at.th e.base.of.a.bud.a.fan.leaf.was.removed.compared.to .another.bud.right.next.to.it..The.bud.without.the .fan.leaf.was.like.4.times.bigger.

Like.I.said.tie.then.aside.or.to.another.branch.ou t.of.the.way.
