Stop!! Don't cut any Fan leafs!!!!

The fan leafs take in energy from the light.

I believe pruning during flowering is more refered to taking off lower branches that have little to no chance of producing any signifigant buds. This allows more plant energy to reach growth that is getting ample light to produce nicer buds. As well it increases airflow through your plant.

Cutting Fan leafs is a big No No. from what I ahve read on the site.
