But I try my best to never cut away fan leafs. I think of these fan leafs like the Bears fat stores for the winter time. When the plant thinks winter has hit, it will suck out what it can from the fan leafs. But if there is no fan leafs,, it goes hungry.

Just my thought. I am just another idiot trying to grow a plant. :stoned:
We do not cut away the leafs to allow light to hit the buds,

I personally donâ??t believe it matters what part of the plant the light hits.
The purpose of the leafs is to photosynthesizes, so let them do their thing.
I havenâ??t found a single person who would recommend that, too stressful.
And yes they need the stored nutrients for when you cut off fertilizer near the end

What we were talking about is cutting the fan leafs off in the last few days, to make the plant think it is being eaten and have a self defensive reaction (produce resin)

We plan to test this thought out next year with a suitable sample size.

Ps- Buds arenâ??t fruit they are the flowers. Cannabis doesnâ??t produce fruit just seeds

And fruits, apples tomatoes grapes, do photosynthesizes when they are green.
harris7 Reviewed by harris7 on . Our Continuous Harvest...more bud every 10 days! Hey all, I thought it was time to start a new log, this one will be focused on our flowering plants. As you all should know, Harris7 and I grow together.:greenthumb: This is a place where you can come for lots of bud pics, along with (hopefully) lots of debates and info on various harvesting/curing/trimming methods- from 24hrs darkness b4 harvest, to cutting off fan leaves. We have now entered into our continous harvest faze, we will be harvesting a new plant about every 10 days. Rating: 5
