Don't trim the leaves.
Fan leaves are like solar panels, cutting them off is cutting of your plants power source. Bad idea

I've experimented with defoliating to increase yield and it works in some cases. Especially in crops where you don't have a high calyx to leaf ratio.
I do it gradually starting with a lower branch prune, then once the canopy has filled in I gradually pluck and tuck fan leaves to allow more light.
Everything green is photosynthetic not just your fan leaves.
Please don't spread mis information, defoliating never increases yield. Period.
Show me the double blind studies and I'll believe you

Anything but angry or little.
Can you tell me a bit more about how to conduct a double blind study? I'll dedicate my resources to coming to conclusion. Must be double blind, as you requested as that's the only time you will be a believer.
Well you obviously wouldn't be doing it yourself. Get 4 plus growers, apply same grow method, nutes all the environmental shit. Now we those 4 growers decide among themselves to do a method of not trimming, some apply your method.
Repeat the process a few times, compare quality and quantity.
I was never advocating no removal of leaves whatsoever. But it's extremely minimal for me. Usually only yellowing ones that already want to come off. I will tuck them so they don't cover a bud though

Well then lets just have it at some side by side results then. It can still technically be a blind study, just not a double blind.
You would be reading the results but not knowing which group is the method that you would prefer.

So you don't have confidence that your way is more productive? You can sit there and shit on me for using the wrong terminology, that's fine. But when it comes down to it you are just upset that someone who has been growing for quite a long time, with great results, disagrees with your methods. And will say so.
For all the talk about how amazing you defoliated plants do, we haven't seen shit from you as far as proof.
