Hey does any one agree with me that when you clip off the sucker leaves, it makes the buds grow better. Every time i give the plant a good trim, it seems like the buds start to double in size. Every time i do this i give it plenty of water and a lil bit of sugar. My theory is that when you take alot of the leaves off is that it sends the plant into a regenerative state, and it pushes the buds to grow bigger. Its like a beneficial recovery cycle, does anyone agree with me on this?

when u say sugar, do you mean sugar like a black woman would ask for a bit o love, or litrally diluted sugar in water you feed your plant?
if u mean love sugar, then would feeding diluted sugar water benifit the plant?

Im a firm beleaver in triming the big fan leaves, let light hit the lower buds
and adds to air being able to circulate around hens better envirment.

um no...sun leaves play a major role in feeding your plant and its bud sites.

why would a plant have the large fan leaves if it grew bigger buds without them?? surely natural evolution would have rendered them not needed if that was the case?? im no scientist but arn't those leaves there to take in light for photosynthesis, therefore creating larger buds?? please someone correct me if im wrong!!

no but i think it should head in that directionhas anyone added this to the bad advice thread yet?
All them big ass fan leaves do is drip water off of them, being how they alway droop down (unless yer giving Viagra to your plant) so the rain water can run off of them. I think it has plenty of other leaves to absorb light for photosynthesis. Its like stressing your roots and running them dry so the plant produces more THC, the plant acts like it must recover, so it grows bigger and stronger, with more thc. Kinda like saying what dosent kill only makes stronger. If your outdoors and you get alot of rain, then id say it would be a good idea to keep the fan leaves, But if your indoor id say get rid of em.

its true greito, you are hurting your yields
and think about it, u are in no position to state if your method is better cuz you have only tried your method
if the leaf isnt getting any or enough light it will turn yellow fall off and die. the mear fact that it is green shows that the process of photosynthisis is going on
also not to mention leaves are used to store energy so the ones you are cutting off are like little green fresh battaries full of energy that you are robbing your plant of and wasting your nutes on since you cut them off
many books say cut nothing off unless its only 50% green or less.
other than that you are hurting your plant.
