This is perhaps the most controversial subject in Cannabis gardening. To clip, or not to clip fan leaves? Some claim double the yield when pruned off…others claim it is ‘obvious’ that the…

I’m no weed grower but I have been a gardener and horticulturalist for
about 15-20 years. I would say clip the veg. It forces flowers to grow
faster more than anything. So in the long run you get better turn
around…possibly better yield.
That said, on industrial scales I wouldn’t bother. Like if you have
hundreds of plants its a waste of time.
I’ve always had an idea about keeping the root stock and stem too post
harvest. you could bonsai your cannabis. The seasonal buds that a bonsai-ed
plant would produce would be smaller but I have a feeling they would have a
disproportionate amount of THC and other compounds found in the plant. Like
super high concentrations.
In the wild the plant would die without them as the nutrition is processed
via the leaves, brought up through the soil as possibly heavier components
and delivered to the leaves to break down into more usable cell-producing
levels.
However, given the nature of the liquid fertilizers of the “not so wild”
gardener, this is not necessary and can impede a larger harvestable crop of
its fruit if the plant is “acting out” in its natural ways. Fan leaves
might actually be useless to the overall production within this controlled
environment whereas outdoors it is what keeps them alive and cools their
feet from such a tremendous burden!
I wonder how that relates to us? Those who will eventually go into the
rocks and caves in order to hide from the Face of Him who comes! Colloidal
Gold might be told to grow good awareness, but what of the Trees who speak
of such things? It’s all about the Sun and yet the soil is what feeds
them!
I am only musing through this! Thanks for sharing!
