Hi guys quick question, can ripping off all the leaves that look to be dying, be bad for the plant in this stage of the flowering process? or would it make the buds form quicker/more dense due to more light being able to get in (no dead leaves obstructing the lights path).. And does it matter what leaves you pull off, sayy a huge fan leaf looked to be on its way out, can you just yank it off? What would come of it?
Thanks for any replies in advance
Fingerz!

I pull them when they are yellow and no green left. If you leave them to die on the plant it can cause budrot best to pull them just to be safe

You'll probably find that leaves the plant is done with will come off with barely any force at all, usually cleanly, where they join the stem. If they're still clinging to the plant I leave them unless there's some sort of fungus going on. If in doubt, 'shake hands' with the plant (gently)!

agree....
best leave em till they all yellow and they will drop off themselves,
with a gentle tug....
easy!

The plant is taking nutrients from these leaves and puting those nutrients into bud production, so leaving the yellowing and dying levaes on until there properly dead is better, allowing the plant to get as many nutriens from them as possible.

Yeah that seems to make alot of sense, cheers for the info guys.. next year will be the one!
