I personally wouldn't cut anything that isn't look like it's dying off...Only because cutting too much can stress the plant specially in flowering that late....I have heard of people trimming off ALL the fan leaves like the last week or so to increase the air flow around the buds to help dry them a bit quicker, but I personally don't cut off anything unless it's dying. If you need to just tuck them under other foilage. But I'm a n00b still myself imp: so i'm sure there is someone lurking around here that will say different and tell ya to do it, LoL so, as I tell everyone I give my advice to....It's all only food for thought! :thumbsup:
