Indoor Removing shaded foilage?

[namvet]

my last two grows I have been removing the leaves and small bud shoots that don't get any light thus consintrating growth to the main flower branches.Anybody else do this your comments are appreciated.:coffe:

It's better to tuck them under another leaf if you can

Not experience but the best argument i have heard not to is a plant wont grow something it doesnt need and removing fan leaves takes away from the plant energy production. But i also dont see very bottom fan leaves getting much in the way of good energy producing light either. Tucking seems like a good idea.

I sometimes remove the very bottom fan leaves and any small buds near the bottom of the plant that are close in to the main stalk. I think it makes it easier to water and promotes better air circulation, plus they usually don't amount to much anyway.

I remove small buds near the bottom, but foliage I leave on unless its dead or dry. if they are green and healthy i leave them on.
