Sorry guys. U gotta leave em. MJ moves nutes from fan leaves to other plant parts. Leave em till they crumble. Fan leave cost the plant a lot to make. Don't take them off so indiscriminately.

well said. i never cut or trim my fan leaves. i keep them on till they are solid yellow when all the goodness has gone then they just really fall off them selfs.

Only way I cut a fan leaf is on the bigger flowering plants I have now, it gets a few fan leaves that are at least 10 inches long so that can really stop the light from penetrating down under. I generally only take the super dead or absolutely ridiculously big ones off.
