I get positive results and I don't yank my leaves. What's your point? And yes, I've experimented with cannabis until I'm blue in the face and that includes pulling large fan leaves.
UNLESS, there is a good reason for doing so and I know that it will induce MORE foliage output, I might prune. Your focus should NOT be on producing bud, but producing and retaining the most foliage and root mass you can until harvest. Bud production will follow, naturally.
Fact - older leaves are not as productive as younger, mature leaves. The plant will pull the resources from a leaf that is undergoing necrosis and use it to its benefit.
