no, leave the leaves on. They will help bud production at then end, if you chop them off that 2 week spurt at then end will be much less; they're like nutrient resevoirs. 5 weeks isnt even close. Do you know the strain? is it indica (wide dark leafs) or sativa (thin light ) or in the middle. it will be at leas 7 weeks, 8 is normal. If it is sativa much much more

I REFER TO THE FAN LEAVES THAT BLOCK THE LIGHTS REACHING THE MIDDLE OF THE PLANT.....WILL THAT SHOCK THE PLANT OR NOT? BY DOING THIS WILL MY BUDS GROW LARGER? I AM ABOUT TO FINISH WEEK 5 12/12 IN 3 DAYS AND BUD PRODUCTION HAS ALREADY TOOK OFF WITH BUDS GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY....ALSO, SOMEWHERE IN THIS FORUM I'VE READ THAT ANOTHER WAY OF KNOWING WHEN TO HARVEST (OTHER THAN LOOKING ON THE TRICHOMES) IS TO LOOK WHEN Rating: 5
