Right.... only clip small to medium size fan leaves during the Veg stage at a 45degree angle. Some people do, some people don't. It won't hurt your plant if you do, so long as you keep at least 50% of them. It's all about personal choice. I have never had a problem with taking a few fan leaves off here and there.
disoBAYish Reviewed by disoBAYish on . clipping leaves? I showed someone my plants the other day, and they suggested that i clip the leaves just coming it. They couldnt really explain why, but they said they knew there was a reason behind it. They pulled back the bigger leaves and pointed at the little baby leaves just starting to form at the middle of the plant, and started telling me its a good idea to do something to them. Does anyone know what they are talking about? Rating: 5
