Marijuana fan leaves are pretty iconic looking but, if you think about it, they don’t seem all that useful. While they are largely unrecognized, they’re filled with good things like flavor, resin and tons of nutrients, which can be used in several different ways.
What Are They?
Fan leaves are the marijuana symbol and they’re the main leaves of the plant. They are generally used to check up on the status of the plant and to see if it’s developing properly. They’re the primary marijuana leaves and they’re the first and best when it comes to expressing anything that the plant is feeling, whether if everything’s going great of it something’s wrong with the development process. Experts on cannabis know how to tend to these leaves and know what to do if something seems off.
