To pull or not to pull

[Skunkxxx]

OK I am wondering if and how many of you pull shade leaves, and of course the yellow ones.Which hopefully start at the bottom of the plant.

I have always pulled alot of the shade leaves,left them on a couple plants and I think that pulling alot of them is good for bud growth.

What do you do?

Thanks

I don't pull them unless they are yellowing, dead or are directly over the top of a cola.

ive pulled them off before

but i never do that anymore

i dont believe it helps at all

plant takes chlorophyll,suger,starches from old leaves

to build flowers

 

believe it or not

I'm doing SCROG, and I strip everything out underneath and I do mean strip. I have the main stems which are clean of any leaf, bud, shoots and anything else, then the canopy. I want all the goodness in the canopy not the little scrappy shitty bud underneath.

As for the canopy leaf, I'm a bit like Jimbo "I don't pull them unless they are yellowing, dead or are directly over the top of a cola" But if it ain't getting direct canopy light, its gone.

What does it look like to you?

This is a little over a month of flowering,with the stavia doments flowering takes me a bit longer than other strains.All this is my work from a good seed back yrs ago.I plan on flowering til the end of Feb. Thanks for the replies all of you!

I would like to see the plants that you pulled off all the lower leaves...Peace out. Back in a few to check replies.

hay bro i pull shit loads of leaf of mine an branches heres a pic

 

 

but if i didnt tip it i would only pull the big older ones, i think they couse more stress an dont produce much so there just tagging along draining energy just to keep alive fuk them off i recon

[smashed1]

shit just saw the pic i thout you were talking about a bigger plant DONT PULL ANY LEAVES of them when that small.

if you do it you might not grow branches out there later , an if they fall off dont worry there only bottom leaves

 

an give it half streanth N it should help stop the other leaves going yellow
