My understanding is that when leaves are more than 50% diseased or damaged, as u put it, they should be removed. As the plants develop the oldest fan leaves on the plant naturally lose their grip on the main stalk. Now i would assume that this also relates to the amount and flow of nutrients available to that particular leaf. I usually start at the bottom and will kind of firmly push down on the top of the petoile where it connects to the stalk. if it falls then great and I remove it from the area. if not, then that's even better. that's just what ive been doing on the two grows I have done.
edit:
good topic

that seems to be the consensus thus far, if it lets go of it with slight pressure. I can't speak to the details of the biophysiology involved. I wish I could and would love to read a brief synopsis of how that system works.

Well the issue is draining nutrients from the bud development. not necessarily hurting the plant but just a method for redistribution of nutrients and the plants efforts towards a more vigorous search for pollen (bud development). no?
