dude the fan leaves are paramount to energy production for plants. by cutting them you're doing nothing but slowing them down.

That's what I thought. Can't remember where I saw it here, but it mentioned this so that lower branches can get fed more UV and produce more healthy all-around buds instead of focused energy on the main cola.

Yes sir!  I clip the buds at the very bottom as to put more energy into larger colas.  It also gives me something to smoke so i'm not harvesting early.

Cut out any growth that isn't gonna amount to anything (unless you just want a excuse to use the bubble bags, been there done that) and leave the leaves alone. You don't rip the solar panels off a house to make it more power efficient.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." - Abraham Lincoln
