Removing Fan Leaves During Flower? Are you serious?

i agree wholeheartedly.

just like i would pay WAY more than a flat ten a gram price for something that was superb in quality.

i hate hearing 10 a gram.

choices, variety and quality! -this is why i chose organic beyond the health reasons i'd rather offer something worthwhile and not just "a fat bud"

...I've taken a lot of financial loss for said choices though... teaching myself to grow one way and then quitting to learn another. all whilst moving about...still learning but, i'll have learned right!

You want frost? Just throw a couple 1000 watt MH's in the flower room.

Shocking the plant, LOL! that does nothing but maybe cause some nanners

Whats wrong with a caregiver? I am a caregiver! Do trolls not have caregivers? Maybe they're too busy bending-over-billy goats.

(Experiment in progress) I do remove large fan leaves a few weeks before harvest when the plant has quit growing upward. I try to get more light to the lower leaves. I have tryed it both ways where I leave the leaves on til harvest and have not seen any significant difference either way. I am attempting to beef up smaller buds.

Removing all the fan leaves is fine if you plan on harvesting within a day or two... Do not remove them early in bloom.

No offence but this too is my pet-peeve. I hate 80% of care givers methods with a passion. The part where someone who is still learning to grow, is growing for other people. Boggles my mind.

Anywho, yes.. do not cut the leaves please.

I learned how to grow and did so very well for a year, so I decided to become a provider. I still experiment to try to tweak my grow. Any info learned here on RIU was taken with a grain of salt. Still willing to learn. My four patients are satisfied with my product. I only remove LARGE fan leaves a few weeks before harvest to try to improve smaller buds. Tests so far are inconclusive so I can't comment either way, however I will post my finding if and when I have any to post. So many people on here will post false information on here as FACT even though they don't know what they are talking about.
