30% more weight

OK so my first grow I started trimming my plants to give more light to the buds and to let more air flow freely thru the plant and most ppl said I was crazy, well I vegged my plants for 5 weeks from seed and got 4OZ a plant. I just read on Hightimes that master growers actually do this to and it could increase your yield by 30%. lets start a discussion who else does this except me and sees the benefit

Im in my 2nd week of flower and have trimmed some of the lower fans but im sooo scared to cut anymore. Lol. I have 7 going so maybe I could try it on 2 or 3 and see what happens. Ive always wanted to try it tho

it most certainly can't increase the yield....so I just don't understand why people want to do this
