i just read on here in a thread about doubling yield.
if done right topping and trimming leaves can increase the branches therefor producing more buds ***IF DONE RIGHT
ok, so it said to top the plant after the 4th node.
and then trim the fan leaves ON THE MAIN STEM ONLY in a stair step pattern starting from the bottom. to explain this better start with the first one, either left or right and clip it near the base, and then go to the opposite one above it and clip it etc etc. this should take exactly half of the fan leaves on the MAIN STEM ONLY
this really can help if your outdoors and trying to have smaller plants with the same or more yield. they get bushier instead of taller
good luck
I thought that may have been a joke at first, but then I saw the work put into the post from the bolding, italics, and underlining, so you must be pretty damned serious. But all that is just bullshit. Do that and you're reducing yield. Less leaves=less yield. If you remove a few, it wont be a problem, but once you remove X amount you have reduced your yield, and can only go further into the hole by removing more.
