Hey guys, Does removing most of the lower 3/4 of fan leaves during last 2 weeks flush lower the potency of the bud or increase it? I'm wondering if removing this extra green material will benefit or harm. I guess it could work either way dependant on strain? Any tips would be appreciated.

removing that much of leaf at 2 weeks from harvest might be excessive and stressfull for your plant. If your lower buds are not filling up you can harvest in 2 times.. not risking hermie on your main buds. You can remove a few fans to ensure good air flow, avoiding mildew and bud rot... But saying that removing 75% of fan leaves will increase potency no chance. At 2 weeks from harvest if you want to increase potency I would look for low humidity like 35%, perfect temperature and maybe a finishing bloom stimulator Advanced Nutrient have one and from experience I ran Canna Boost t'ill 2 days from harvest with fantastic results. have fun and good luck!
Thanks yea humidity is around 50% in the tent currently at all times. Sent from my Pixel XL using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I would wait a week or two more. If those leafs need to be pulled so soon. just let them die off first.. Just done mine. And still have plenty more to pull lol Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Grasscity Forum mobile app
i do all mine in last week as a prep for trimming.. doing it a week 7 as the calyx swell cud put a dampner on things.. i feel its something you do when its done just to try squeeze that extra bit. try train ya plants early days so all your bud sites are exposed to light is a better bet
