Pruning burnt leaves during flowering?

jesus00 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-07-2008, 11:39 PM

I started flowering a week and a half ago and one of my plants just spouted its first pistals!

However, i had to leave over the weekend and in my absence the plant decided it would be best to grow into the CFL's i am using. I know you are supposed to prune damaged leaves, but the damage is very localized (only parts of a few blades got burned) and I am trying to flower this thing as fast as possible since i have to move in a month.

Do you think it would be better to prune the burnt leaves or just let them be?

My rule of thumb is - if more than 50% of the leaf is damaged, remove it. Otherwise it can stay.

Sometime if I have a leaf damaged from a nute overdose, I let it stay so incase I accidentely do it again, it will attack those leaves first, instead of spreading the damage to others. Just saying.
