Im seeing mixed reviews everywhere. Strip fan leaves 1-2 weeks before harvest? And if so how much?
How much and when are somewhat linear. You can pluck a few fan leaves out here and there throughout your grow and it won’t hurt your plants any. If you get into taking a significant amount of leaves it can stall your plant a bit and doing it frequently can/will impact your grow. But I don’t expect a significant change in your plants inside of 2 weeks from proper harvest if either way. I would suggest keeping your canopy managed to the point a reasonable amount of air can move through it and leave it at that.
Ive always been a leave it alone person, but… my wall is 25 feet long 8 feet tall and 8 feet wide. I dont have long left and dont want any issues with how thick they are and how short of time left.

Very well explained on which leaves to strip and why. ![]()
