how long will it take to recover from clipping fan leaves?

about a week ago i cut the fan leaves off my indica to get more light to the budsites and i was wondering how long it wud take to recover. it was a mistake but i do have alot more bigger buudsites

anywhere from a day t a week to 2 weeks if you really hacked it up it also depends on strain some handle it beter than others

its a short indica strain from bagseed

check out my journal in my signature. some people dont recommend cutting fans but i chopped them anyway just because my first grow is also my time to experiment. i chopped about 70-80% of fan leaves and my plant looks healthy to me. i dont know about bud potential since leaves provide plant food but your plant will survive =)
