Trim on blooming

Guys, I dont have much space in my grow, I realize that. Is this too bad to trim the bigger leaves in order to get lighter to the smaller colas? Or must I let the bigger leaves grow? Thanks everyone

It looks good. Good news is your using cfl bulbs which can be very close to the plants with no risk of damage. You can trim the big leaves off but leave one or two next to each bud site, wait for the flower stretch to end usually takes around 3 weeks. 🌱👍

maybe 2 or 3 of the top leaves in middle, but you want to retain area of coverage... don't remove all leaves from any 1 node. Light hits leaves and it reacts -- not the bud sites. Light hitting leaves at local nodes will power that growth better than trucking in ATP through the phloem. Whether you speak of buds or avoiding stretch. If light readily penetrates, don't bother and save the leaf. stick to those general guidelines, and you can't screw it up. leave at least 1-2 leaves at any one node provide light to deeper regions of plant where good nugs can grow... don't bother trying to illimunate the bottom node if it's buried and can't ever grow anything worthwhile even if it had light. familiarity with your equipment and the yield to expect will help you pick out that zone of good buds and how to prune/defoliate other places to focus more resources on the happy-zone.

If the leaves are blocking buds then yes. But you really don’t need to cut the whole leave. Just a few fingers. Lol lol that should help man! Good luck. She looks great dude
