You sure you want to open this can of worms??? You'll get different opinions on this one....

I have three reasons why I pluck off fan leaves two weeks prior to harvest....

1 - It saves me time when I perform the initial trim, the day of harvest....

2 - Light penetrates further to the bud sites directly under where the fan leaves were....

3 - Air flows around the colas faster and smoother....

I also do these three steps to try to avoid bud rot....(cause I can't control humidity, so I do this to get better airflow)....
