I have read here both schools of thought:
1) Don't trim fan leaves as they act as a) "solar panels" for the plants and the plants need them and b) the provide nitrogen to the plants as the nutrients provided are not nitrogen heavy..
and
2) Remove the fan leaves as the nutrients it's being fed have enough nitrogen to sustain plant function and bud development. Additionally, by removing them, you're providing more light to buds underneath and that enhances bud development.
I understand both thoughts and I'd like to hear from growers who have actually trimmed and not trimmed and what their results were.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide..
