Some may disagree with me but when we grow indoors, we are trying to duplicate mother nature and make it better by providing PERFECT growing conditions. One thing we have in our favor is that we can actually control our enviorment. So the question is: to cut fan leaves or not....or to cut the lower 1/3rd of the plant to allow more light too the main cola(s) and also allow the plant to focus its energy instead of spreading it out.
Cutting/leaving fan leaves, LST, FIM etc... are all techniques we use and under perfect or near perfect conditions and it all works pretty well.....So what the f*^k is the DRAMA about? If trimming works for you...go for it. If LST'g is your cup of tea....go for it. If cutting fan leaves works for you....go for it.
We are providing perfect conditions and can pretty much do what we want, when we want and if it fails, we know next time. Fan leaves have more of a purpose in uncontrolled enviornments then they do in our indoor perfect grows.
Those lil popcorn nugs at the lower end of the plant are good for hash if you want to take the time to do that, otherwise they are too small to bother with. Trim during veg so you dont have to bother with them later on. 4 weeks into flower is a bit too late to start hacking your plant up.....but if you got the time, she will recover.
Ooh yeah...As for fan leaves storing nutes for later.....shoot bra!! We are providing nutes whenever she needs nutes. Who gives a shit if something is stored in a leaf or not.
