I was going to let this die a quiet death, but I think I've changed my mind..

Some classics
"You can see in some of the shots how I cut a few leaves / new leading-branch-heads a bit too close on what remained and some of the leaves have odd cuts that remain as scars."
"I do think that too many leaves cut hurts the budding process"
" I think the whole fear-of-hermaphrodite-stress-prevention is overrated. "
"Yes, I understand leaves are required for photosynthesis."
"We will see how good the buds develop in a couple of months if I am able to bring them all to harvest with no disruptions."
"If even fan leaves didn't produce THC, they wouldn't be used en masse to make hash."
" All leaves on mature plants 2,3,4,5,6 months old grow nice little trichs."
"The strength in the leaves alone is enough to allow 10 plants to be a nice little garden to chop and smoke from on daily basis for months (or maybe years!)"
"Remember, we are talking about WW leaves that are abnormally high in THC,"
"Perhaps it is not something that should be so feared this hermie thing"
" The entire MJ plant has THC"
" triple-stembranched male (whom I trimmed entire branches tonight and smoked two bowls and got high on THC from the leaves and dried twigs!!,"
"harvest not possible here during cold winter."
"I theorize that it is ok until beginning of flowering and that successful flowering and bud production can be done if trimming stops at the beginning of flowering."
..and last but not least...
" if I am feeling generous to help and enlighten others then I will"
