Fan leaves serve several purposes....

They store nitrogen and nutrients for flowering.

They assist the plant in regulating temerature on cellular levels.

The absorb sunlight and process that light to energy for the plant.


There is a very very very very fine line.....

Cut off one to many and you shall destroy your plant....

INternal temp control is gone....
Solar energy can no longer be harnessed.

Trimming / thinning of fan leaves can be done....but as I said...go one leaf too far and its a gonner.

There is no margin for error....thus....only seasoned growers should mess with them, and, most seasoned growers wont touch them.

If they are mold infected, they must go however.
