I don't cut any leaves, They serve a purpose. You can always tie back branches to get more light.

The way I understand it is the fan leaves play an important role in the plants processes. Their relatively large surface area allows them to photosynthesize more energy, relative t their growth needs, thereby providing energy to the plant. They also provide a store of nutrients which will be used by the plant during it's maturing, causing them to yellow and drop, from the bottom up toward the end of flowering... As I understand it...

From what I've heard yes it is good during flowering. Its sappose to increase resin production, also fattening the buds up a bit. From what I've heard you use Blackstrap molasses, or Grandmas molasses found at Safeway, Alberston's, ect. I think its 1 table spoon to a gallon and can be used all the way to harvest date. Again, this is what I've read, never used it, but will try soon.

Molasses is good during the whole flowering phase, and a rate of about 1 tbl per gallon, every few days. The last 10 days to 2 weeks are for clear water flushing prior to harvest... At least to me that is...

I finally broke the habit of removing fan leaves. Now I only remove what falls off naturally. I think my girls like it this way.
