Don't cut them! They ARE important for producing buds. Tie or tuck them if you think it will help.
bigtopsfinn Reviewed by bigtopsfinn on . Cut fan leaves? hey all, I'm one week into flowering and am down to three females. I want these three to bud as thick as possible... the only problem is im using cfls. I've noticed the larger fan leaves are drastically reducing light penetration into the middle of the plant, which is really bushy and full of 'bud producing nodes' (Dont know the correct term). So heres my question: would it be a good idea to cut the bigger fan leaves out now that I am done vegging? I feel like it would increase yield, Rating: 5
