The girl I'm growing with decided to pick off all of the large and rather useless to smoke fanleaves off of our five outdoor plants while i was away. She says that picking all the leaves off will make the buds grow bigger. Is this true? Or did she just rape my plants. Can you include a few details on getting bigger buds too? THANKS!
I do that to my plants. I assume it makes it bigger. Instead of focusing on the keeping those big leaves alive, the plant puts more energy into the buds..I dont pick them all of though..I leave a few.
picking the fan leafs that are still being used by the plant is not a good idea. I let all mine fall off naturely they help feed the flowers food the plant stores away. you pick off the really yellow dead ones only. your friends a "retard" Andrewbud
if you want bigger/potent buds give it nutrients. while its flowering you want something high in Phosphorous Rating i use Shultz Bloom Builder 5-30-5 Liquid Plant Food. AndrewBUD
