Well thats to bad brother sorry to hear, and yea I have heard the same thing but what i do is trim the fan leaves to the point of leaving about a half inch to a inch of stem there still so there is still resting place for the flowers that grow and it still seems to fill out the same as any other time because no matter my strain i always clip the fan leaves about this time and leave the tops exposed, But yea i am growing 5 auto Cream Manderine from sweet seeds an then 5 freebies from attitude that are mixed an matched between a cotton candy, desert deisel, amherst sour deisel and a OG Kush and Skunk x Northernlights Ill post some more tonight
