The plant gives out Oxygen while under the light and takes in Co2 from the environment. The Co2 is a raw material for photosynthesis. The plant will use carbon dioxide and light energy to manufacture the sugars that the plant needs to fatten the buds. Oxygen is the byproduct of the process. The fan leaves are especially useful during flowering because the plant needs more energy to ripen the buds and enrich the compounds.
Fan leaves are far more useful that growers credit them for. Growers talk about buds—all the damn time. The thought of growing weed plants without fan leaves takes root from extreme training. Some growers obsess with opening the plant up for proper light penetration that they forget how photosynthesis works.
The fan leaves are the solar panels of the plant. The plant should have enough of them to sustain its life from seedlings to senescence. The fan leaves can grow back when you cut them in the earlier stages of growth. If you, however, cut the fans too late into flowering, they may have little time to grow back before the buds are ready and the plant senesces. The fan leaves trap the light, thanks to the chlorophyll in the leaves.
The plant needs this light to manufacture the sugars that sustain it throughout the growth phases. The fan leaves help the plant to breathe. The fan leaves have openings called the stomata through which the plant takes in the CO2 and releases oxygen into the environment. The fan leaves also work as storage granaries.
The cannabis plant stores its extra supplies in the fan leaves, only using them when the plant needs them. Big fan leaves are a good sign because it points out that the plant has had optimum growth conditions. Big fan leaves often translate to bigger yields because the buds have enough energy to grow and fatten up. When the fan leaves are healthy, the buds are healthy because the same conditions that favor fan leaves growth also favor bud development.
Though big fan leaves are a good sign that something good is happening to your plant, and the harvest will be huge, you should tame them. When the huge fan leaves are left for long, they cast shadows on the bud sites beneath them.
The shadow inhibits access to light, and thus you harvest low-quality, small buds. Joined: Jan 28, Messages: Likes Received: Bend it first. If it breaks off while bending, then it was never meant to be anyway.

Granted this is well into flower but still before I personally was ready to shut down the nitrogen and allow her to finish off but I was desperate to get some light into this extremely crowded area and get the buds to try and equalize in terms of being finished.
I called this strain the gumby strain and it is a tangerine strain that could bend upside down as you see and never break a stalk. The colas were not very impressive but you can see that the entire plant including the lower part is covered in decent buds.
So three weeks later she finished out with absolutely no stunting I could notice in comparison to the four of five cycles of the exact same clone with four of that clone each cycle finishing off the same. Another one of the main reasons I was prepared to do this was looking at the thing throughout its cycle, and it grows like a wild jungle with tiny little fan leaves everywhere, its a trimming nightmare.
So I decided Id go ahead and take care of that for the third cycle I had because I wasn't about to manage that alone again fully grown, I started tackling it the minute I took it out of the clone machine and potted it. Ok well I let it sit for a couple days before I pinched the low growth off because I was dipping these clones in avid upon potting. The heavier you prune in a single session, the more stress that plant will undergo. Some genetics can take a lot of stress without too many negative consequences.
Other genetics can be quite sensitive, causing stunting or self- pollination. By removing leaves more regularly, you are touching each plant in the growing environment more often.
