Trimming for a higher Yield
I agree with Rusty. You may think it makes sense; give it a try on a few plants and I bet you change your mind in a hurry. Like Rusty says EVERY SINGLE time you pull, break, "fix" etc you are redirecting the plant's time and energy to repair to said spot before it will continue growing. Sure you could get a monster plant.....in about 3 years with a root system the size of Rhode Island [providing you keep transplanting and your thin out your roots (which will die off naturally after they are not needed and cause root rot) to keep your nute ratios and ph balance in check.
Wouldn't really help your yield vs the amount of work it would take to keep such a plant happy. And at the rate it will grow; you can leave it to your kids in your will.
edit: I now read the plants are in flower. That's even a worse idea. Add a day's more bloom time for every couple leaves you pull. And that REALLY won't help your yield but they're your plants.
