question about trimming your plant

why exactly do people trim their plants in the middle of them growing? they cut off the fan leafs and clean it up, give the plant a haircut i guess you could say but the plant gets its energy from the fan leafs so it makes no sense? less leafs=less photosynthesis which means poor bud development right?........can someone give me the answer to why most people do this?

i trim my plants because they get really bushy, the fan leaves start to block sun light from other fan leaves... so why have them there if they are not gonna get ant light or block light from other plants. i rather trim them than just have them there taking energy from the plant and blocking light from other leaves.

i vegge for 8 weeks then flower so my topped plants grow anywhere from 5 and a half feet to 6 ft.

8 more days till i harvest and my buds are lookin really frosty and chunky.
i dk it might be a myth. but u cant cut all of ur fan leaves i trim most of em not all of em

I trim my fan leaves off during the first week of flowering to develop new spouts, branches and fan leaves.
For every fan leave cut off, it will create a new set of leaves.

ok sorry i was high and didnt really clarify but just from looking on here i see people and they pretty much have no fan leafs, just steams with buds on the end with literally 0 fan leafs and they are in the middle of flowering

u can have plenty of fan leaves left at the end of flowering , at all depends on how your plant is grown and what u give it.most of the time tho people lose most the fan leaves thruout there flower period.atm i have 2 weeks left on my grow and my plants have around 5-6 green fan leafs mind u there are only 2 foot high.
