This comes up a lot and there are three camps.
Pull at the leafs off and bla bla bla, I'm growing bud not leaf camp. Best of luck guys.
It's OK to pull some off and let the buds get more light camp. Some people just have to do shit to their plants camp.
Never ever take any leafs off camp.
and then there are the lollipopers and they don't belong in any of the above because they grow the plant so they can do this. I'm in this camp.
I think you want to be in the middle of the it's OK to pull a few off and never do it camps.
There are so meany reasons why it's not the best thing to do but lots of growers don't want to educate themselves and just do what Billy Bob told them to do.
The leaves are not just the gas tanks they are the motor too! The motor drives performance just like a car, more is better that's all there is to it. How many farmers do you see pulling leaves off their crops? How many wives tails are there about pulling off leaves to get bigger fruit? Weed growers are the only people who have some strange ideas about how to make bigger plants and buds.
Some people skipped this class in high school, leaves have Stomata on them and they drive the growth of your plant, the more the better. Learn more = grow better
