Uhhh, the big leaf is the engine for the bud production. Less leaf, less bud.

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.

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

No....

The leaf which receives the most light will be the largest. In a way you are punishing the leaf for performing. Now you have removed the big leaf and your sweet plant must divert resources from growing the bud to growing bigger leaves. I only cut a fan leaf if it is bugged out or chewed up by a grasshopper. At least that is my take on it. Hope this helps.

firstly it is possable to move leaves around. isnt a better use of your light to get as much surface area of the plant under direct light?

Well, I have far too many plants to be doing that and besides I like to handle my plants as little as possible. I'm gonna have faith in mother nature and if weed is set up on a particular system, who am I to disagree..... Go with the flow. Don't forget that buds do not grow by sunshine but by sunshine converted into energy through leaves and then to the buds. Bigger leaves mean more bud growth. I suppose if you didn't cut any leaves and decided to adjust your leaves for maximim exposure, that would be kewl .. but overly time consuming with marginal returns. I guess if you want to .. you could, but that's time away from downloading porn!! :mrgreen:
