Once the buds have formed and begin the maturation process, can the leaves be harvested?
Will the plant suffer or is the plant better off concentrating all of its energy on the buds?
Dont pick the leaves if they have buds unless its like a week before harvest and thats just to get the light down to the lowers so there not albino lol
That is the formula for photosynthesis.
The plants need water (6H2O), carbon dioxide (6CO2) and light energy to create glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (6O2)
The leaves collect the suns rays and turn that into glucose with the help of water and CO2
The glucose is what feeds the plant so as said before me, the leaves are vital
