Tell him to just forget about it. at the end of harvest it's always good to save the leaves. you can use every part of a pot plant to get high. with 100 g of leaves you can make 10 g of some pretty good hash. Look up "bubble bag hash" on youtube and it's the one that starts out talking about paris er some shit. you can even use the stems from it to make butter i believe so save EVERYTHING. DEFINITELY look into the bubble bag hash I'm telling you it's great. I did it last year with my leaves off my plant and dude.....all i could say is i wish i would have known earlier!!!!

Hmmmm..... Not sure what that is about, However, maybe this would make my statement a little CLEARER; From the Attitude Seed Bank: DNA Genetics LA Woman, "Don't be afraid to THIN THE LARGE FAN LEAVES in the 5th week or so. This will allow the light to penetrate the canopy and reach the lower sites and WILL be replaced within a week". Good luck & good grow.......BB

How about I make it clearer. Trimming fan leaves to increase yield is urban myth and utter bullshit. Now do you know what it is all about?

Please pay attention to post #42, I'll take his word over a copy writer in a seed catalog.

O.K., this one stopped me in my tracks! I'm not about to take the word of "poster #42" OR some "copy writer". So....l contact my
"go to" guy, Gerrit, at Magus seeds. For me, he is the "final" authority. I have included my emailed question to him & his respnse on this subject:

Hi Gerrit, Gary Wyatt here, (we spoke about pollination several months ago).
Here's the situation, we're having a HUGE dust-up over "Fan Leaves", in my cannabis forum.
Seems we are split 50/50 over the removal of some fan leaves on vegging plants, to get additional light to the inner nodes.
You would be the only "expert" that I have contact with, so I'm hoping you could shed some light on this subject. I have been selectively removing large lower fan's from my "LA Woman", and see great inner development, but others say that I'm ruining my plant by removing her "solar panels". So now, I'm quite confused! If you have any info on this, PLEASE share, thanks in advance,
Gary Wyatt

Hello Gary,

How are you, all well I hope.
I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you again as I'm not a supporter of removing fan leaves either (especially during veg)

Consider this, which parts of the plant are the most productive and give the best buds, are those the inner parts/nodes? (no)
So what you are doing by removing the fan leaves, is taking away energy from the best parts to benefit the weaker/smaller parts.
Seems contra productive to me.
It's much better (i.m.o.) to remove the lower small sprouts/twigs that are covered by the fan leaves so they don't act as a "leach".
This will result in more/bigger grade A buds and less trim (work).

I think you will get my point with the above but if you still have doubts I could try to illustrate with some pictures or diagram (would take me some time though)

Kind regards,
Gerrit

If the leaves are frosty enough you could water cure them to make em taste better and concentrate the THC... Wouldn't be bud, but it'd be better than dry uncured leaf.

Oh, I've made iso hash from pre-harvest trimmings before too, but the yield was really, really small. And not very high quality. I had to smoke a bunch just to get buzzed. If I'd smoked that much good hash, I'd have been unconcious.
