noob question about flowering

[headshake]

I've hear the watering thing too before, not sure if it's just an old wive's tale but it's supposed to have something to do with the resin coating the buds to prevent excessive moisture loss if I remember correctly...

plants transpire water through their leaves, more specifically guard cells on their undersides. scientists don't even know why cannabis plants produce trichs. they have some theories, but they are nothing more than that.

wow guys thanks so much for all the input!! I could of only hoped for so much feedback 1 more noob question for you guys. Should i let the yellow leaves just dry up and fall off or should i cut them off? The reason i ask i cut 1 fan leaf off that was really yellow and drying up. I hope i didnt shock the plant in the process! Anyway this is my first grow and i couldnt of got this far without all you great peeps! If i could id send you all a fatty off her when she is done:joint1: i hope i get a decent yield considering im using cfls. i have a shit ton of them on her. But my next grow will be pro!!! "no cfls".. Anyway thanks again for all the help!

know thats fine but from now on let thenm just fall

you want to let them fall off as the plant uses all the remaining moblie nutrients from the fan leaf before it decides to discard it. if you absolutely must pull them off, just give them a light tug, if they remain on leave them.

you won't hurt your plant by pulling just one off or two off.
