Have you guys done it both ways and found better results by removing the leaves or is it just the way you have learned?

I'm very to tempted to try it.
The ONLY time I will do any trimming is under the conditions I showed above...I have done the same thing to a couple of other plants (3 of the same strain) before but the none of the leaves were yellowing. I wanted to see if there were any difference. I found growth development to slow down when trimming pefectly health green leaves during flowering. I also noticed flower development to be less dense. Now, the only trimming I do is during flower when the leaves are yellow and I only do it once or twice at most. I also do not do any trimming or prunning during veg but I do like to play around with fimming and topping.:thumbsup:
