next time, just trim the ones which are dying... taking them before they are dead makes the plant take longer to come to bloom... the sugar leaves are ok, but fan leaves are super important to the health of the plant... next time don't do it... sorry pal, we've all been there...

sorry, you just reduced your plants ability to grow greatly, like by 70%, now its gonna spend the next few weeks or more putting all its energy into making fan leaves get bigger to replace the ones you cut..

I personally have never stripped leaves(aside from messed up ones when needed), but I know a guy who claims he pulled all fans leaves completely from every plant and yielded bigger than ever before(1.5+ per light apparently) and this is a guy who knows what he's doing. He's indoors, SOG,sealed room, high wattage, and full line advanced nutrients , grows in rockwool/hydroton combination. Is it possible in any way, given these conditions, that he increased his yield by pulling the fan leaves completely?

No, its simple botany really. He's seeing what he wants to see.

Or maybe he's more spiteful than I gave him credit for lol.
