Fan leaves are the energy highway of the Plant.
I personally see no need to chop off those fans in this stage off grow.
I do it like that,,,,,
I the plant is flowering, iam cleaning up the bottom area of the plant. and i look wich leaves block the light to the flowers
feel free to look into my diaries
just remember, everything you take away from the plant, she tries to reproduce....
and the fanleaves are very important for the plant
greetings and happy growing, for further quations feel free to contact
