Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????

Plants can not "send" energy. There is no excess energy hanging around wondering where to go. All energy gets divided equally to where growth is occurring. ALL of the plants energy to grow and thrive is made by the leaves via photosynthesis, this is how plants work. NO energy comes from anywhere else, such as the roots. Less leaves = LESS energy being made = less growth...........it is that simple! Your plant NEEDS those big leaves to make the energy she needs to grow her biggest flowers. Maximum amount of leaves = maximum amount of energy being made = maximum potential growth. No plant magically drops its leaves off during flowering for some sort of benefit, it is only stupid man that think they know better than a plant that has gone through thousands of years of evolution to be at the pinnacle of perfection and efficien/effective design!

I absolutely remove bigger fan leaves if they are covering buds and at the last weeks of flower for optimal light 😄👍🏼 works great for me (i grow autos)

NO! leave it!

The way they are now is perfect. Dont cut them more, everything is getting enough light and air

If the larger leaves are blocking light to some bud sites, then yes absolutely remove some of them. However removing leaves just to remove leaves isn’t too good either because in the later stages of flowering the buds will draw energy from the fan leaves to continue bud production. Especially during the flush when nutrients start getting scarce. So you can defoliate, just don’t go too crazy with it.

if you want to reduce photosynthesis and co2 intake, it's a grand idea... fwiw, these two things are the most important factors for growth, so don't do that. they are the lungs too, so only selective prune a leaf for a very specific and good reason. not just "to defoliate because other people defoliate" You aren't "sending more energy" anywhere. The products of photosynthesis is highly mobile. Apical dominance is the force behind why vertically higher areas of the plant will get more resources. Removing leaves won't change that. I've been reading that nonsense for years. Last few grows i've puprosefully left a large leaf bent and heavily shielding various bud sites. They always turn out just like every other bud site that is at the same vertical height. overgrowth, congestion, causing condensation due to overlaping plant material, bunchd up buds physically touching each other in an extreme way can all be disease vectors. There are good reasons to remove a leaf. I see a very airy canopy and even some gaps - not much reason to remove anything on top and you are missing out on some photosynthesis as is. maybe, underneath but can't see that level.
