i should have quoted budbrewer, he mentioned his frustratioin with the discussion of what a leafes function truly was.
If you would actually quote me instead of making up your own about me you might have a leg to stand on but as usual the you resort to some falsehood insult because you can't prove your point the leaves grow back and keep feeding the plant.

I said I should have quoted you.

I don't need to stab myself in the eye to know that it will effect my eyesight.

i want to say this is my best grow to date. the fan leafs usually never got to big or just died off prematurely. well, this round they are huge!! almost too huge. i have heard that fan leafs produce energy which provided the plant growth and nutrient flow. or something along them lines. dont quote me. but i heard they help a lot more then people think. is this true? is it counterproductive to cut off the lower to mid huger larger fan leafs? what if they are blocking light? i have chopped off the lower 40-50% growth. i have topped my plants, or FIMmed i should say, at least 2-3 times. so they are quite bushy. so there is not many fan leafs left, but the ones that are left are big and are blocking light. the ones up top are blocking light to the middle of the plant. i dont want to ruin a quite possibly perfect grow. but i would like light to penetrate better.
May I remind you of the noob and his questions that started all this stupid shit lol.

This is a good post I know plants need leaves I also know when you take them off they grow back very fast from many more places then if they were allowed to grow naturally I don't advocate keeping a plant leaf free they need there leaf but if you want tighter branching defoliate just give them a week or two between it doesn't slow them down any more then any other pruning method topping slows a plant down for a while as does suppercropping listing even lollypopping.

"almost to Huge" LOL I love that.

I know myself and a few others did learn some great basic bontany lessons from you and couple other people so no pain no gain lol.

UB, is fan leaf stems being really red a sign of a deficiency?
Potential Nutes... definitely keep an eye on the phosphorus.. look at your pH and see if there's anything being locked out... or it could be strain specific, if this is the first plant of this type you've had.

Oh, well most of my plant is fine and nice dark green but all the little new shoots that are coming up are yellowish but besides that it looks completely healthy. Didn't know if I could take the symptom of yellowing of the leaves and the red stems to pin point the problem, or at least have a ball park idea. But MOSTLY shes nice and green.Im really thinking its potassium/nitrogen def. I started feeding her higher concentrations of nutes. I'll guess only time will tell if she picks up

Of course it is "Blockers of light or energy producers???" Blocker of light means blocking branches and later bud sites of light OK are you still with me then the other side is are they energy producers and yes they are but when removed they will they actually replace themselves from the small branches making tighter nodes more branching and more leaf mass.

Now if any of you have actually done it you would see the obvious difference in plants you done nothing and haven't contributed anything but insults because that is all you have without experience.

She won't pick up w/more nutes if the pH is off enough to lock out part/all of them - is why I mentioned it. What pH is she currently at?
