Cutting those leaves off is going to drastically effect your plant, it makes absolutley no sense, those leaves are the plants main energy makers for the buds to get big and fat, they also store energy in them, so throwing away the energy your leaves make and store for the buds. last 2 weeks when they increase in growth the most the plant will start taking all the energy from its own leaves and putting them into its buds.
probally a qp, looks really good other than the fan leaves.
seraphis, what is so hard to understand about basic botany? lol, he would of done better without chopping the leaves, he didnt prove anything.
