Fan leaf help!!!

I needed to know during flowering,I am 14 days in.Now do I ever cut the fan leaves during the flowering, my friend told me to do it but he doesnt really know to much.Thank you for your help.

Leave the fan leaves please from my experiance i always left them they are good for the plants everyday life there is great arguments on this site and people will be here for days on the yes and no reasons but if you look at everyones grow journals and pics they all have there fan leaves. @@@@ my personal opinion@@@@@

Lots of different opinions on this subject.

IMHO, I think its best to remove a fan leaf ONLY if its covering a bud site.

leave as many as u can but if one is blocking light to another branch then u can take one more is better but same with light penetration as well use your best judgement

These are my ladies

Thank you guys for your help so far.I think I will wait on cutting the fan leafs until we get a little closer.I read they provide the nutes to the stem so that is more important right now.If the bottom is a few days behind I will take the top off and finish the bottom separately.What do you think of that idea?

hi there i was once asking your question and alot of people have diffrent views, i did trim my big fan leafs and my plants are fine i done it 1 week into flower and now again 4 weeks in i will leave them grow now as towards the end the leafs can help thanks and good luck.

Go with your gut man try only one or two and see the difference when they both are finished then you will know for the time around

How does a plant produce sugars to grow??.....photosynthesis....where does photosynthesis start...at the leaf...so why cut the leafs...leafs are what absorb light to produce the energy to grow foliage and buds...the bud itself does not.....if a leaf can be moved not removed in order for deeper light penetration then move it out the way but do not remove it......if you know how plants work you'll understand this logic

If you must cut any, make sure you don't get carried away. It'll stunt the hell out of them if you cut more than a couple at a time, and if you cut too many, you could have a problem with the buds not filling out fully. I made this mistake once, and ended up with light airy buds.
