Yeah, and the bud will take longer to ripen too, sucking the life out of what little leaves are left. Think of the fan leaves like solar panels...might help.Uhhh, the big leaf is the engine for the bud production. Less leaf, less bud.
yes but if you have solar panels above solar panels wouldnt it render the lower ones innefective? if you dont want to cut your top leaves to let light through, then lollipop dem bitches so theres no need! buds get fatter too
