leaves act like solar panels so cutting them is not a good thing unless you absolutely have to. just tcuk the leaves behind bud sites or something. plus clipping leaves can cause stress and take away focus on the other parts of the plant

The only reason you would purpously cut the leafs of is around the bottom if you have a moistour problem. Cutting the leaves will allow extra airflow to help reduce a potential mold problem. But besides that it will just cause stress.

I remove the yellowed leaves when they can easily be pulled off... some do trim lower leaves to lollipop..etc..

depends, have you ever noticed removing a fan leave on one side, will make the bud stem on the opposite side bigger? (mostly in veg state) it is important to keep the healthy fan leaves for energy transfer. sites will slow development if removed.
