Cut Fan Leaves for Fuller Buds?

Hi guys, I've been growing for decades but thought about something that I am not sure of.

I have never trimmed the fan leaves in the flowering stage and wondered if it's wise in order to get more sunlight to the buds. I have had some issues with bud rot as well since I live in a humid area.

Part of me thinks that those big ass leaves help nurture the plant, and therefore bud development. BTW, I am an outdoor guerilla farmer...it kinda sucks.

I should already know this, but you know what they say about know-it-alls. They're the ones who don't!!

Peace, love, nugs and frisbees!

that got me to . i heard it does wonders,but tried it and nothing happened to myshit, but ummmmm lets see no more bud growth, maybe its just me lol

i dont think that will work. i would leave the leaves on

Yeah cool, that's what I'm thinking. I'll stick to tradition!!! If it ain't broke, why fix it?!

Leave them on. You sound just like my dad also a grower for many years. He says to take em all off but thats not good at all. Leave them i swear its better.

I figure the plant knows where it needs a leaf better than I do.

more leaves more growth

Great responses gents. I will just have to stay on top of my bud rot potential. I have this Hawaiian strain from bag seed, and there isn't much air in the colas. And we never have any wind here to blow out moisture.

So I guess I need to take a hair dryer down to my baby every morning to blow the dew off.... LOL.

I have mixed feelings about pinching fan leaves. For some reason people like to prune, we prune everything so it just natural to want to clip some leaves
