why not? More lights for the buds! I hate to tell you this but.....trimming the leaves doesn't AWLAYS throw plants into "shock". I have seen more growth in the last 4 days then i did for the last week or two. Plant is happy and budding and full of trichs!

I hate to tell you this but... leaves provide energy to the plant. Energy = bud growth.
But I wasn't telling you that you were wrong, I was asking why you did it.

I know i have been reading that but i am going to harvest maybe even sooner. I think they are about done even though the pistils are still white more then 50% this trichs are cloudy i just bought a mag. glass....any thoughts?

Looking at the length and color of all those hairs, I would say at two weeks check again if it hasn't stopped by then from lack of fan leaves.

Why ask for our help when you already know what your doing lmao .....
Maybe thats because they gain a good amount of weight and size during the last 2 weeks anyway...

Everyone can grow however they want....all strains and growing experiences are diff for every user and every plant. Obv ppl grow diff so you get diff results. The funny part is I bet only one of you have ever even tried it but instead you give advice off what you read not your experiences. I'll post final harvest pics and prove leaves are not NEEDED for success....could help with some strains yeah prob but my random strain first plant is doing just dandy and stanky!

I'm afraid to tell you that buds don't take eneregy from the light.. thats the leaves job ,which you have now removed.. you might as well just turn your light off now.

You guys are f&#%#*in hilarious! You honestly expect me to believe that after all the journals I have seen and read with people removing all fan leaves? Plenty of good bud just cuz you read how stupid and bad it is doesn't mean we all have those same results...my plants like damn fine for my first time and stink to high heaven. Obv I would have topped and scrog had I grown before

Not trying to be a dick man,but think of it logically..
How does the plant grow ? It uses it's leaves to make energy by collecting light.It uses this energy to make buds.How does it produce energy if it's energy producers are not there?
Try taking a plant that is 2 weeks into bud and remove all of it's leaves. Think it will be a heavy yeild or a rubbish one? By that reasoning ,removing leaves at any stage is not going enhance your yeild at all it will only stunt it.
Just becuase you have read it plenty of times doesn't make it right ,there is plenty of idiots posting journals.
ps its your first go and your allowed to make mistakes ,your plant has grown some good weed and thats great for you ,but just know for next time taking the leaves off is not advised..

You said you removed ALL leaves which you clearly did by the pictures use to be on here.
Just because your plants "look fine" and stink doesn't mean what you did was beneficial for them.
