one idea i had WAs:
since removing the fan leafs gives light to the buds (IMO not a big deal)
but also stresses the plant and causes a self defense reaction

the plant thinks it is being eaten, so what does it do. Swell up with resin to scare off the bugs

so an idea would be to allow your plant to finish normally, then b4 you give the plant 24-36 hours darkness cut off all the fan leafs.

Thoughts?
