trimming

i find it useful to snip off the lower two leafs on the higher branchlings... i dont know if it has any effect but it seems to grow almost better than it would if i didnt do it... can anyone give me some information on this? if its a bad thing or a good thing

the only time I have ever trimmed my plants is when a big leaf is blocking a juicy bud from growing.......i say leave the leaves alone...they are there for a reason.....to collect light. If the plant decides it doesnt want the leaf if will drop it by itself.

i see.. well that does make alot of sense. i appreciate it! thanks !
