in a perfect world we would at max trim big fan leaves. harvest top then leave the bottom an extra few weeks to mature without those big fan leaves in the way. But so many factors as always. this way woudl prob work best on sativa dom. just because you could have nugs with all white pistils on the bottom and 90% brown on the top half. again i just love biology and this makes sense to me but im sure experience tells a different story. And likely why scrog is used, not chop and let mature more. hahah
also those fall off the bone leaves may be taken off early as it takes awhile for the ethylene to take affect. and perhaps taking the leaves you know are gunna come off anyway a bit earlier will allow more of the production of ethylene to the buds to mature??? i dunno. and im kinda on a shit talk session here, so ill shut up.
light intensity drops off exponentially the further from the bulb. cause the radius squared. also will the main cola grow just as large as the 2 extra bud sites would buy cutting that one leaf??
