OMG STOP! Don't do that please!! Please tell me you haven't done that yet. Fan leaves = solar panels. Tuck them under if they are getting in the way of budsites but as of right now I think you're still in veg they will use those leaves. I did prune week 2 of flower and that was everything 3 nodes from the top and down! If you aren't LST or Scroging then I wouldn't even do that. If you HAVE to cut off a fan leaf cut half of the leaf off, wait a week and then cut it all the way off. It's amazing how much a leaf or 2 will stunt your plant.

whew good thing! Was planning to do that later into the grow until I read some stuff by Uncle Ben...your leaves produce the buds so if you cut them off you're going to have sub-par crop. When you fert your plants, you're just giving them 'vitamins', not feeding the bud. The leaves feed the bud, so they need to stay! Also keep them nice and green. People who say not to use nitrogen during flowering are misguided...you get bigger yield, potency, and taste when you keep the leaves green as much as possible. Ferts do not normally affect taste negatively (unless you are using chemical ferts). In the end, it is curing that affects taste! I know I wrote a long ass answer...but I just smoked and am in a communicating mood 
. That info helped me though! Hope it helps you too

I'm doing it, you inspired me! Have a seed in rockwool and hydroton as we speak
. Am doing a test run while I wait for my skunk and sour kush clones to root and get established. Will post the grow once I get a good, strong clone!

NO, you really want your plants to look that bad? leave them alone, give them light, water, light nutes and love.. dont peel everything off the plant , i get lots of good bud off of the lower parts.. To remove that much plant, that early in the budding process is NOT right.

I agree...not a big fan of pruning myself despite many people vouching for it.
