Removing leaves from an auto strain.

Just remember - each healthy green leaf you remove will decrease your plants capacity to make energy, which can lead to slower and smaller growth. Try to remove only yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose. Each leaf is like a solar panel - fewer solar panels = less energy = less growth. This is basic plant biology 101. Doing some light, well considered "lollipopping" though, is easier for you come harvest time and in harvest terms, more effective for only obtaining larger blooms. Any "lollipopping" is best done throughout the veg cycle and should be well and truly finished before your plant enters the flowering stage. She will not like "lollipopping" once she has decided to flower. Also, if you can remove only the small growths and leave behind any large healthy green leaves, this will provide a higher level of energy production without growing energy consuming small, weak and spindly growths, meaning your plant will have more energy to grow her biggest and best flowers.
