can you remove the fan leaves?
Several reasons not to do it
1) stresses out plant as it needs to heal it’s wound = reduced yield
2) changes plants metabolism, = slows growth temporarily = reduced yield
3) The plant makes buds by burning sugars, sugars are created mostly in the fan leafs
4) The plant stores nutrients in the leafs which buffer your feeding and that will be used later in flowering
5) Evolutionary pressures selected good traits. Ie, the plant knows whats up
please run a search of the threads b4 you post.
