I've probably learned more about growing from others problems than I could ever hope to learn on my own. That's why I don't get tired of the "Help, my leaves are yellow" posts and praise the patience and experience of those who answer them.
But I've been wondering (and this question pertains to soil grows only): Do the yellow leaves still benefit the plant? And here's some of my logic. If the problem is a nutrient burn then maybe the leaves should be left on acting as kind of a sink. Taking them off would only concentrate more to the viable leaves.
Or if it's a deficiency the leaves should come off making more of whatever is missing available to the rest of the plant.
Or is it possible the leaves should always stay on as an indicator of your remedy. I've plucked plenty but I'm never certain if they could have recovered. Or is yellow the point of no return; no advantage, no benefit. Appreciate ya'lls opinions. Thanks
