Quote: Is it okay to remove a few "key" leaves that would allow light to the lower buds? I really can't afford to let all of those potential buds go to popcorn, when they really do look like they could improve.
I always do. Thing is, while the leaves DO act like solar panels, if your plant is flush with healthy fans removing a few here and there will not really hurt you.
Quote: My understanding is that when leaves are more than 50% diseased or damaged, as u put it, they should be removed.
+1 If around 1/2 of my leaf is crisped, yellowed, whatever, I just clip it. At the very least I'll clip off the dead part and leave the living tissue.
