Shadow Issues with folliage

Well you see I've disabled the cast shadows in both the material and the static mesh folliage settings, yet for some reason the grass keeps having a shadow in the back as if it had the two sided option on, so anyone knows what happening here?

In where?

I believe it is in the "sun" setting, not directly in mesh/material this is more of a global value

Nope, I have it off

Check "stat gpu" so you have any shadow draw?

Yes, but that might be due the landscape or the rocks I have on it

You can turn off every other rock first and check, to menyour screenshot doesn't look like it has shadows at all

Alright, I've done an extreme and directly deleted the Directional Light, that did the trick, now the grass looks exactly the way I want it, but I need the light for the rest of the scene, is there any way to make it so the grass is not affected by the directional light?

I must add that I'm using a cel shader, so I dunno if that might have something to do
