See now you got me thinking, the sativas I tried it on I did a bit overboard. With these I took i'd say 30% of the fan leaves.

I have done this in the past, removing the fan leaves. But, only the last four weeks of flowering.

In doing so in the last four weeks, with a side by side comparison on volume. The plant, without the removal of fan leaves had a higher yield.

What strain? Sativa dominant perhaps?

shouldn't really do that. Ive done the experiments, but I guess u gotta see for yourself.[/QUOTE]
I will have to agree. I cut the fan leaves on one side of this one plant I got going and the buds are smaller. This node also has no shading on either side. The side w the fan leaf is bigger. Day 5. I'm saying it inhibits growth.

Won't be doing it again, it's not as horrible as everyone makes it out to be but it definitely isn't for me. I still got fat buds since my plants are super healthy, but the sites on 2 plants where I left fan leaves ARE bigger, even as you go down the plant.

They were Fire Og, which is a really good strain. So, it was disappointing but worth the knowledge.
