Fan leaves what to do wiv em?

[babystarbud]

its like cutting off your nose to spite your face,

the leaves are there for a reason, although, a bit of light pruning, late on in flower i guess is ok, thats what i do, otherwise just tuck them under or tie them down.

cheers, out of curiosity does anyone know how much u need to smoke to feel anythin - leaf wise

[stinkyattic]

Yuck not even worth the hassle IMHO I'd rather scrape and smoke nasty bowl residue if I were ever that desperate

The only way to know is to try it. If you have a higher tolerance I wouldn't chance it. I wouldn't go crazy either because like all of the previous posters said the fan leaves are needed for growth. Let us know if you do try- I'm curious to see if my FIL was right. S

i'm in agreement with most, cutting leaves is like cutting chunks out of human lung. But, if you feel you must to thin it out, just eat the mo-fos, especially when they're cyrstally. Might burn a little going down, but mmmmm..mmmmH! Chew that cud like a holstein. I'm sorry to say that unless its bud leaf, it will probably take most of your plant's leaves to feel anything. Probably a good source of fiber, though.

eating the leaves might provide some nutrition, but any thc in it would have to be heat-activated. maybe put a bunch of male leaves into boiling water and eat them like a soup. I'm curious how that would turn out. i'd still rather go and find a sack of dank, though

I cut off a lot of the lower fan leaves to make the plant focus on the new growth. Everyone has mixed feelings about taking fan leaves off...anyways, I boiled 20 grams of leaves in milk for 15 minutes. (low fat unfortunately, is all I had). You have to stir it often so it doesn't curdle or burn. Don't out a lid on it either or it will boil over really fast. I then strained the milk out of the leaves. The milk was nice and green. I mixed the green milk with more milk, enough to fill a glass, and put in a some hersheys chocolate syrup. It tasted like chocolate milk. It didn't get me high. I'm not going to cut any more fan leaves off, cuz if you can't smoke em' or eat em', why cut em'? I also tried smoking some dried leaves in a bong. The smoke made me cough so hard I almost hurt myself. I didn't get high. So, I'm done with the leaves and focusing on buds...lol Hope that helps.
