look at all the pics on the net or where ever of the big pretty harvest pics that makes us go ohhhhhhh....notice the color of the majority of the fan leaves...i bet they're yellow...that plant was allowed to fully mature the way it was ment too...and if you believe altering that is benificial....then go right ahead...
that's because most nutrient co's that put out a specific bloom nute cut the nitrogen % by too much causing the yellowing that you're talking about.. feed your plants a nice balanced nutrient regimen that doesn't cut the nitrogen way back and see what color your leaves are come harvest.. btw, all of the techs i have read on when to harvest your cannabis, not a one of them mention you should wait till all of your leaves turn yellow as a sign of maturity...

check out uncle ben's thread, so all of you newb's are still using high pk cannabis specific bloom nutes or something along those lines.. yah, he has a bit of an ego, but dude knows his shit.. i also recommend his uncle ben's gardening tips and tweaks thread, very informative to say the least..

more B.S from this paper
{
  • Remove some of the fan leaves 14 days before harvest. It helps speed up the flushing process and or makes flushing unnecessary (Homemadepot, 03.13.2002).

error.. google is your friend m8... i just googled what is the job of a leaf, and not one thing was mentioned about them storing nutrients, but when i googled what is the job of roots, want to take a stab at what it said??

here's the google results of what is the job of a leaf..

One main function of leaves are that they are where photosynthesis occurs, specifically in the mesophyll between the upper and lower epidermis layers. The mesophyll contains chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis. They capture light energy from the sun, and through the process of photosynthesis then convert it into sugar molecules. Much of the energy required by living organisms relies on photosynthesis so this is a very important function. Leaves in fact are even able to twist in order to maximize sun exposure, and leaf surfaces have a wide, flattened shape thus increasing the surface area for effective light absorption.

Another main function of leaves are that they help the plant to conserve water and prevent the plant from drying up and dying. Plants have the ability to close the pores in their leaves. These pores, called stomata, react to chemical changes (like changes in weather or light), and are controlled by the surrounding guard cells. Environmental conditions that would cause plants to lose a lot of water (low humidity, high temperatures) stimulate guard cells to close, thus preventing water from escaping through the stomata.
not that i want to get involved in a pissing match but how are these sugars made? because light cannot become a sugar as far as i know neither can water so yes nutrients are stored in leaves also when a leave is lacking a certain nutrient isnt it affected differently thats how we tell what type of defficency we have right? so if leaf dont store nutes how does it make sugars? surely they must be getting nutes or chemical grows wouldn't be possible because a chemical nute grow does not grow a microherd of organisms like organic does if growing organic you need not flush only chemical needs flushing. stop acting like school girls for god sakes

my knowledge wasnt enough...you asked for documented proof...i googled and found it....now all im hearing is bla bla bla...why not show me documentation proving fan leaves dont store nutes(the purpose of the paper was to show fan leaves store nutes)..nothing else applies to the topic at hand and yet thats all you all are focasing on...as i said the LAST PARAGRAPH.......now show me any documetation...that says fan leaves dont store nutes....
