Taking Fan Leaves VS Not: Pics

Big debate, take out fan leaves, never take out. This is the pics to show why I take them out... a little at a time. All the new growth derives from taking one per fan leaf. The new growth multiplies new branches & exposes full sunshine.
With good soil & a little water, the Baby only needs one more thing, a lot of sunshine. With that total supply, the plant growth will more than triple compared to an Ole'Lady wearing a shaw-allowing fan leaves to block the sunshine. This will not work if the soil is not healthy, living, or the taking is more than the root system can handle. These Babies came from seeds falling off the Mama during harvest, into good soil. Nothing but molasses added, & fish emulsion added 4 hours ago. Nothing else. Will top soon to get more/double top buds, then each branch later, then again in 3 weeks. As long as the root system can maintain a healthy balance. With a proper high yield strain & proper power supply root system, I can't see why one Lady can't do an 8 lb. harvest. "It will grow like a weed if you give the bitch an half-ass chance". Just for once, I would like to see the Ladies be all they can be. High-Stepping Baby.

I would leave them on.... two reasons...

1. leaves make more energy for the plant VIA the sun or lights...... cutting them off will hurt the plant so it cannot create as much energy...

2... the leaves have vital nutrient the plant uses at later stages of life....
hence you have yellowing leaves even though you are nuting your babies accordingly...

so I would say leave them on..... pull them off when they turn brown and easily pull away from the main stock...

it also stresses the plant out abit

Tannis had the point fly over head, like the problem I'm trying to bring out. For Tan. read again, slowly, twice. and get back to me. And Jason with the Mask, good question. TKS. I am talking ONLY healthy soil & plants. 3 days, the new growth starts. Let them nutes hit a new area, like giving blood, it makes fresh. The balance is fucking cool. But, you have got to have a perfect soil micro-infested body-building soil to pull this shit off.

Oh, hell yeah. Cool temp stunts growth. As soon as they are no longer in direct sun, I carry them in. I just set them out this morning (Sun.), 42 degree, full sun, north wing block. In 3o minutes, the pot will be warm/hot.

+ reps for you if i new how. very well said and you have one on board the train here. this is something i have done also since my first grow and really notice big bud at lower part of the plants. hell i have had the lower limbs grow as high as my cloas after trimming fan leaves off. BUDY BUDMAN myself i start trimming last week in veg and first week in flower. i noticed when i trim in flower it stresses the plant just a little but creats one hell of a cola bud with tumor like lumps around the bud. i have a pic iwill see if i can find it. it was one crazy ass bud. (plants).

The Train is called "The Monster Express". With all the confessions, riders can only take the journey with a ticket based on common sense, mother nature & faith in the underground society. To boldly go, to reach beyond your grasp will allow grasping things beyond your grasp. Dancing with a 4 oz. grow is not at this train station. This train will ride into the valley of 4 to 8 pounders. Who set the limit beyond Mother nature & the strain capacity. My Deer hunting time is 2 bullets & 1 hour max. One big fish, and be done with it. Point, I don't want to invest time for BS. One will do what people work on for 20 plants. And when that big Lady gets of age, she is more mature in every aspect, as opposed to a bunch of teenagers.
Stress. The Socialist will forever blab about stress on plants. Sun Block (fan leaves) lotion, chemical shots for a miracle grow, microwaved "healthy" Dinners. There is good & bad of everything. Stress, Hermies & Trimmings. All can be good or bad. Mother Nature does Her stress thing, wind, water allotment, temp, insects, humidity & sunshine. Grasshoppers naturally trim the fan leaves... . The wind breaks the cell structure of the plant, causing compensation ; evolution. The sun puts out 72,000 to 90,000 lumen's at a distance of 90,000 miles away. This includes nutrients that artificial lighting can't touch. No man made product can touch natural, organic plant life. So, for a max. grow, the sole goal is to see what that Bitch can actually do. I say that with greatest respect. People believe in fish because they can see them. Training worms to move from point A to B is a leap in faith, but it works. There is a whole world unseen that works. Creating that is a leap of faith, at best. But when the Babies/Ladies start dancing is a first goal. Good soil is very intelligent, so is the mineral make up of rocks. See the method of rockwool, for non-believers.
When we take vitamins, the body only absorbs what it needs. the goal is to inject high nitro, but also inject the root system with something that pushes the envelope. All natural. A base is a worm farm, the most highest nutrient matter known to man-kind. With that, and a good high THC strain & high yield, the outcome is .... the big, healthy ice covered mature Lady.
