Scratching my head when it comes to manicuring

I remove the dried leaves and the leaves that easily detach from the plant with just a little tug. Other than that, I don't cut any more because I've read that the glucose and other nutrients stored in the leaves of the plants is being sucked into the buds at this stage of flowering and I want my buds to be as tasty as possible which equates to waiting for the plant to let me know which leaves are ready

naw i doubt it ive always chopped em all off right away, a slow dro can still be achieve and then a nice long cure will make your buds smooothe!
