ok see....we were very picky about how many to cut and which ones..........yes we had our attention on getting other parts of the plant more light but.....we only snipped the leaves as everything else filled in....see i understand what everybody trying to say but you gotta understand that this was a slow and steady process...we took our time and did not cut off all the fan leaves at once...we did it slowly over a week and a 1/2 period....i made sure other leaves were growing on the nodes first before we cut any fan leaves to ensure the plant would continue to grow well........i wish we had a better camera because it is truely a beautifle plant with purple on it and everything but ya i understood that somewhat from the beginning but like i said we had to do it now....our time is short and we didn't have many choices but wee we definetely try tying branches next year........thanks for the constructive critisism and the advice guys.............Much appreciated
