Just wondering what the general consensus is regarding leaves which are damaged. Be it light burn from an indoor grow, nutrient burn or leaves partially eaten by bugs outside.
Would it be better to keep the leaves on the plant, or cut them off?
I've seen basic arguments for each:
Keeping Leaves: Allows the plant to use the 'nutrients' from the dying leaf or partially still use it for light absorption.
Cut Leaves: Stops the plant using energy and nutrients to try and repair the leaf.
