I take all the leaves off mine and cut back to 5-6 nodes above the second tier of Y's as long as they are at least semi-hard. The leaves will not make it anyway as I am not using any grow lights. Make sure you prune off all the fine, hair roots. I can smell the rooted end of my plants and tell when they need to have some H2O2 (the miracle liquid) added to the water. By the end of the winter you will not have a big mass of roots. Last year I did not have problems with bugs in the greenhouse. It was pretty cold and there was not much to eat. lol The ones in my bathtub inside had no leaves so bugs were no problem. Best of all is I get a whole season of blooms.
