Is pruning yellow leaves good for the plant?

[Derple]

Anyone know anything about this? I've heard varied opinions on it. Some people say not to do it towards budding. Whats your opinion on it?

i push on the stem lightly and if it falls off it falls off and if it don`t fall off i leave it alone. don`t know if it`s right or wrong but it`s what i do.

Anyting over 70% yellow remove. It will just increase the chance of mold.

Certainly a rule of thumb I go by too.

If the leaf looks dead...
It is yellow/brown around edges...
How can this leaf benifit your plant...
Logically...speaking.....
Except for the fact, you may damage another part of your plant when you pull it off...
Why leave it on?

This is what I do. I grab a blade and pull ever so slightly, if it pops off it is done, if it doesnt I leave it til it falls off. Whats the rush if its going to fall off anyway? Let the plant suck it dry.

yes better to chop the feckers off

I was also wondering, if I chop off perfectly healthy leaves to give my buds more light, will it affect the plant in a bad way?

i trim all fan leaves that are blocking lower branches, dont over do it cause they need all the leaves they can get just a trim works good for me

I would be asking why are you getting yellow leaves?

Insufficient N in your nutes?

Insufficient light penetration.

This is a picture of my lowest bud on my 2ft tall plant under a 400w.

Very probably a Nitrogen deficiency. Could have something to do with all the locusts/insects around at the moment, but probably more due to a lack of Nitrogen.
