so, i just got done reading this thread, and i had a good laugh, but i dont see why ANYONE is getting worked up, we are all marijuana conneisuers. smoke weed, get high, happy, hungry sleep. and socalkushman, you contradicted yourself some many times... here is an example.... your last post, followed by your first post. kinda sounds like you were talking about yourself in your last post.... no offense, im just stating the obvious, not trying to start anything more.
personally, in my experiences, indoor soil, indoor hydro, outdoor soil, everytime big fan leaves are removed (last 3-4 weeks) if they block light from hitting buds, ive always thought it would be better to leave the leaves entact due to photosynthesis (like a solar panel) but due to everyone i know and reading an article in a cannabis magazine (ask ed) he said to remove them so the light can hit the buds more. it does make sense somewhat, but exactly where does photosynthesis count more? on the leaves, or on the actual bud? is anyone in here educated past college (4+ years) maybe in a field of botany? (that is not meant to be demeaning.)
oh and also, if anyone doesnt already know, southern california bud sucks compared to our northern california buds..... most of the medicinal dispensaries in LA/SOCAL get their buds from norcal. FYI
everybodys got there own opinion... i stated one..and got returned with bs remarks... i know thunder was tryin to mellow my shit... i aint attackin him... some people talk to others like there stupid... like half them fools done did...
those fan leaves do absolutely nothing... solar panels untill put into flowering... but if you think there gonna help your buds get bigger.. leave em lmfao.. foolish... chop those bitches...it sends the nutes elsewhere instead of those useless leaves... i chopped em all but 4 at the top.. my shits exploding...read and weep... everybody has a different opinion on the matter... if you like thc infested nugs that are dense as fuck...you'll chop half those fan leaves..and give your buds the light and nutes they need the most.
