ok, so I was a little bored tonight, so I took one plant of the 4 flowering girls and trimmed off all of her fan leaves (only 4 & 1/2 weeks into 12/12).
I want to experiment to see if it is better to have the budding sites receive the light, or if the fan leaves are the important parts. After all, the flowers do have green leaves to do photosynthesis, and from my experience it is those buds at bottom which receive the least light that are the smallest.
So why not trim off the fan leaves, let more light in, and see which plants produce the biggest buds: the 3 that have not been trimmed at all, or the one that has all fan leaves trimmed and the only green is the buds and her spear leaves.
We will see.
