I wont do that..... because the fanleaves Feed the Plant. if you cut them, you stunt the Plant, and because of beeing an autoflower, she dont have the time to reproduce the leaves. You can clean up bottom area, and take away some leaves that are disturbing. Butno overdoing that. greetings

Don't clip them just to clip them, fan leaves are very important. The primary purpose of fan leaves is to support photosynthesis. The leaves themselves are also packed with phytonutrients and, to a much lesser degree than sugar leaves and buds, cannabinoids. Fan leaves are also incredibly useful for understanding your plant's overall health. So if anything defoliate, which is just removing certain leaves that are blocking flowering sites from getting enough light or if they look unhealthy. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time ".

I trim them on occasion, if they look beaten up, discolored, blocking bud sites, or touching the soil—- should be fine, just don’t do too many.
