Science uses a simple source/sink relationship to describe leaf energy budgets.Well the leaves that do not receive light do not partake is photosynthesis, those are the ones that take the nutes...however the plant kills those off by themselves and salvage what they can.
@xtsho It goes something like that right?

A leaf is a source of energy for the plant, a growth point or new root would be a sink.
The second a leaf becomes a sink and stops being a source the plant drops it.
Thus every leaf the plant holds onto is usefull to it and every leaf it drops wasnt.
Source to Sink

Everything on the plant takes some energy to produce but leaves are not sucking up nutrients that would otherwise go to the buds. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water/nutrients using light energy into oxygen and food for the plant. Even if the leaves are not in direct light if there is light and the leaves are green photosynthesis will occur. Just not as efficient as the leaves in direct light.Well the leaves that do not receive light do not partake is photosynthesis, those are the ones that take the nutes...however the plant kills those off by themselves and salvage what they can.

I've posted these pictures before but as you can see I didn't trim a single leaf. The buds were very large and when harvested the bud that was shaded from the light was solid and well formed. This is under just a 600 watt HPS. As you can see the jungle of leaves did not take anything away from the buds. They grew nice and big fueled by the photosynthesis taking place converting carbon dioxide, water, and light energy into food for the plant.

I'm not exactly sure. 13 ounces or 364 grams. Maybe more maybe less. It was plenty for me.
No bud rot or mildew. But I did use a dehumidifier in the tent to keep the humidity in check.
