Question friend claims large fan leaves innefficient. Cut them off.
permalink
I have a neighbo who claims that when fan leaves become to large to cut them off so buds can get more light because large fan leaves are inneficient, claiming that this i biological fact. And smaller leaves cover more area than larger leaves. Bu to understand this concep you have to understand some facts about surface area and volume. Dude argud that people do this and they get better yeild than if they didnt do that. And his grower friends all cut off these inefficient fan leaves.

well my rule of thumb always has been if the leaf doesnt look like it is blocking alot of light below leave it the only reason to trim is if it is blocking alot of light

Uhhh, the big leaf is the engine for the bud production. Less leaf, less bud.

Tell the friend to go cut the leaves off his plants and you'll take care of your own grow.

The plant needs those leaves, think of them as a digestive organs, and the buds are sexual organs. Can your sexual organs digest your dinner? I didn't think so......

The large fan leaves help the plant to process sugars. Cuttin them off will result in smaller bud sites. If you cut too many, it could stress the plant and cause it to go hermi on you.
