defanning is fine as long as your talking about removing all the fan leaves...

Which is what I do full grown fan leaves are all removed at the times I do it. Cool glad we got that squared away

removing all of the fan leaves is okay? i just removed a bunch of stuff after looking at these pics and reading on grow weed easy.

i left the ends on like this guy says and removed some of the leaves. i see a couple of very small branches but im going to leave those for samples later on.

what do you guys think? could some more fans be removed?

Leave her be like that for experiment sake what week is it?

week 1 with pistils starting to show. its been eating a good bit, didnt feed this time tho to make sure the cut back wont cause over fert.

i dont usually remove the tiny buds on the stem so im shooting this time for just a few jumbo sized buds.

heres a pic of my tiny bud on the viper city. its so micro small compared to the penny but its so frosted and what i normally collect for oil.

Removing fan leaves will not increase yield.

@RM3 ran a side by side test of two plants, one stripped of fan leaves the other not. One not stripped yeiled better.

This is not rocket science...
I said it once, and I'll say it again,

In Veg-
Removing leaves does not increase yield.
Removing leaves does not decrease yield.
Removing leaves does slow growth.

In Flower-
Removing leaves does not increase yield.
Removing leaves does decrease yield.
Removing leaves always slows growth.
