Pruning during 4th week of flower

These four girls are filling the tent. I think I should be okay with height however they are getting dense in the tent. Would it make sense to thin out some of the shorter branches at this point or better to just leave alone?

Hey man, at this stage you'll want to remove anything that doesn't recieve light but first remove any large fan leaves at the top of the plant blocking light reaching underneath. Cut any branches of that didnt stretch. Doing this may remove about 1/3rd of the plant but will help divert energy to the tops where you want it and increase better airflow. It is scary cutting that much away but will help you. For your tent next time, maybe one week less in veg? 🌱🤔

Hey as long as you have no problems with the damp, etc., I would leave everything on that does not fly by itself :-) Your plants look extremely cool from 🍀💪🏻🌱🙏🏻

hey there, "thinning out branches" that means literally taking a cola that's gonna be full of bud in a few weeks and throwing it in the trash. Obviously dont do that. Same with "thinning out" the bush by removing leaves. All that does is shock the plant and make it produce more leafs or leafy buds to compensate. The best you can do is remove the bottom most set of leafs , take a razorblade and remove the bottom most set of flower nodes. This will help the plant focus on the flower nodes a bit higher in the plant. Hope this helps ! 🚀
