I been growing 24 years...DON'T CUT THE FAN LEAVES...the plants NEEDS those for photosynthisis. The only time you should remove leaves is when they are dying...seriously...you need to learn some marijuana growing skills before you start your next grow...your best bet is to get side lighting, and rotate the plants.
And if you're gonna come in here asking for advice...and you don't want to take it...then go find another forum to bother...we don't need arrogant, thick skulled growers here...you ask...we tell...don't like it?...don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Trim your bigger leaves if you'd like to hurt your plant and lower your final yield.

FYI - Ran into this argument in the past so I set up an experiment. Picked 4 white widow plants that were more or less identical. Trimmed off all of the larger/older leaves on 2 plants and left the others alone. This was 1/2 way through the flower period. The trimmed plants experienced slower growth and only yielded about 2/3 as much as the ones I left alone.
This experiment was based on Uncle Ben's advice (each leaf supplies energy to the plant) VS The Urban grower's online video (cut them big leaves off).
In my opinion, Uncle Ben knows his shit & the urban grower is handing out some well meaning but missguided info.

This is my last post in this thread as you have everyone telling you it's not a good idea, and if you can't understand that simple concept then you're unteachable. First of all, the sativa has thin and narrow leaves. If there is EVER a time to leave the leaves on, it's on a sativa. How much light are those thin leaves blocking???
Anyways, the journal in my signature is of a sativa dominant strain and I don't chop leaves off. If you continue to mutilate your plant, I can promise you that my buds at day 44 will be bigger than yours will be at your day of harvest. Can say we didn't try.

Were're just trying to tell you something..and your bloody well not listining...this is my last post as well...read some books...grow for 20+ years then come back in here to tell us what you do is right!!!!!! Like i said earlier...use side lighting....or even fold the leaves inwards...but NEVER chop them. If they are meant to come off they will fall off when they're dead.

Funny thing is, those fan leaves you want to chop to smoke are gonna do jackshit for you, alot of growers who grow big amounts dont even bother to keep them after harvest since they have so little useful properties in it.

That read just like the Eskimo character in the old Clutch Cargo cartoon talked. If it had said 'hahahaha... that Paddlefoot .. he all mad like u cuting fan leaves off his plant... hahahaha' it would have been perfection. Thanks for the blast from the past laugh.
