The Funny thing is i only trim a couple of fan leaves every month ... and the pic is showing only a part of the branch ( the plant is freaking tall !! ) ( non topped btw )
the plant looks healthy and every couple days i notice its getting taller and more stretchy , but budding wise .. not so gd
plus i am using 2 air fans
Flowers don't grow without their solar panels, I'm sorry to say you removed way too many.

FYI the only fan leaves that i trimmed is the ones that shows the sign of dying ! i thought it is normal when in flowering the bottom fan leaves dies because the plant starts to focus all it's energy on the production on the buds ... what i leaned from surfing the internet is they all agree that the bottom fan leaves should be trimmed when it shows that sign !

The plant sheds it when it no longer photosynthesises due to ageing. It's called abscission. The plant will shed it itself when it no longer needs the leaf. MJ got along just fine in nature without our help. We start cultivating it and the first thing we do is try to help it along. Feed it, give it light and water, and let it do it's thing.

i know !! its been almost 5 months that i started growing it .. i gave her everything she needed ! .. but i admit i had few problems with light leaks and over-watering but i had it all fixed :(

it's just sad that i expected the buds would be so big after all this time period :s

And they should have. When did you start in on the fans? What are you lighting with? Many variables here. Hang around and learn. That's how I did it. I DECIMATED my first crop!! We were all newbies at one time. Just call this round tuition, and carry on. Find a couple folks who know whats up, and don't listen to anyone else. ESPECIALLY that buddy (who's probably never grown before). We all have one or two of them.

i thought sativas should look like this , tall and non topped... i got the (purple haze) seeds from white label so it must be a good genetic.. right ?!

Sativas are tall and lanky, which is why the hemp industry bred them instead if the Indicas. They produce longer fibers. You can top a Sativa without problems just like anything else. I have no idea who white label is, so I can't vouch for the quality of the genetics. If they are growing with good vitality and vigor, I'd say they were good genetics.

Ok...I'm old and my eyesight may not be as good as some of my RIU friends.
I think the seed bank mixed up and gave you a "Charlie Brown Christmas" hybrid with the Kush strain ????????????????????

I could be wrong,
But so is the plant. ;)
