Remove those stems you removed fan leaves from. Clip right at the stem. Those can stay, bud start forming around them and then they rot and mold. Take this from a guy who's had it happen. Twice. Not going to happen a third time.

Looks ok to me too. Mine is almost identical and am also at 4 weeks. Like someone else said, you might want to trim off some of fan leaves, especially if they prohibit light getting to bud sites that aren't too far from the light.

Are you saying you can't prune fan leaves off without getting rot?

Remove. The. Entire. Stem. The stem. Cut from the main stem. Hope this is clear now. The stem the leaf is attached to the main stem.
However I have this feeling it's not. Let us know.
Yeah I get what your saying... but any lesions to the plant can let infection in.... whether its at the base of the leaf stalk or if you just broke that stalk....
So whilst I grt what your saying.... I don't get your point.
Always use sanitised tools... always keep your room warm with great air movement...that will stop bud rot....
Been told recently that spraying anti fungal in early weeks of flower also helps.

Dude, I just lost some buds because I left some of these. Bud grew around them. The stems then rotted causing rot in the bud. I'd draw a picture if I could because I can tell it's probably necessary
Others - when defoliating remove the unwanted leaf cut it free AT THE MAIN STEM. DM me if you're still unclear on the concept.

I get what your saying... I don't need a picture....(although I think your trying to be patronising?)
Your saying remove the leaf and the shoot where it leaves the main stem.
Am saying that where you cut the leaf off probably doesn't make much difference. The conditions are way more of a factor.

What the fuck ever. I'm assuming English is your second language.
I'm English. No need to be offensive. You have no basis for your claim... you just repeat yourself.
Your original statement is confusing and inaccurate. Bud rot is caused by poor conditions. Any damage to your plant can let spores in... but then to take over it has to be too cold and damp

not actually plucking the fan leaf off the branch will result in a hell of a time trimming the weed too because those are all going to be crows-feet on your buds in the end. Practice plucking the fan leaves off the plant vs cutting them. ANy nub you leave behind you're going to have to deal with later if you want good quality.
You might want to get a new calendar or something because the first picture you posted doesn't look like 4 weeks into flower at all, maybe 15-20 days..

Gotta defoliate some, there’s hardly any light hitting the middle of plants. looks a bit crowded in there. All those areas that look like they will be nice buds will just be Airy pods of what could’ve been buds. like me looking back on life man it coulda been so much better had I just listened lol
