Thanks Loc,

That is really the question right? Is there any benefits besides faster drying to cutting off the fn leaves?

I have read to keep them on, and cut them. Zandor posted a thread that Grim posted a link to that stated to keep them on for a more even, all-be-it longer dry.

I am interested on everyone's take.

(I dont think t was Zandor's actual post that stated to keep the fan leaves on... but it was in the tread.)
