Feed them to the cat. They are worthless. There is a debate about trimming leaves. I scrog so I just tuck them under the screen. Note that you don't have to take the whole leave. You can just trim off the fingers and leave the rest so that the plant still gets some benefit. I would be careful not to take too many. They provide a lot of energy for the plant.
bigsby Reviewed by bigsby on . Trimming Fan Leaves My plants have been in the flower box for a month now. I tied strings to them and bent the tops over exposing a lot more flowers to the light. I started snipping off large fan leaves if they are covering up a flower. I just do a few here and there everyday. Is that the right thing to do? Rating: 5
