I recently cut most of the main fan leaves off my flowering plants cuz they got temp damage. now they are yellowing bending off to an angle and becoming brittle. should i have any concerns and will my buds still develop properly without fan leaves??

first your answer. i.m.o yes they will grow fine.

questions how long have you been flowering? do you have pics?what nutes? and do you have a ph/tds meter? soil or hydro. sorry for all the questions

Got any pics, it sounds normal. A plant will shed its bigger leaves as it finishes flowering

well yes it's a bad habit..but i think everyone does it ...i will only touch the most bottom buds on a plant..even if it's not mine..the oils from your fingers make them look mature quicker..

bruv take a pikcha of them in the grow room... like how they would normally b set out.
also even tho the buds will till grow, fan leaves are very important
a few here and there is fine but the buds need them to transfer the light in2 energy!

ps. i am also a first tym growa and everything i learn is from this site so if i am rong about anything please correct me because I NEED 2 KNO 2 !!!

well from what i've heard once your buds are fairly developed it's ok to go in and prune some fan leaves off...and this is just a guess but i think the leaves on the buds themselves are wut gives the bud energy. like i said just a guess i could be wrong

IMO i think keepin more is better because lets say something was to happen i.e
*the plants dont get fed for whateva reason
*get damaged etc.
they would need them extra leaves to recover quickly...

again jus my own opinion...

is ther a doctor in the house?!!!!!!!!!!
