Do I need to trim more?

Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

I would say your doing just fine! Looks like you got all the lower branches and foliage gone so that’s good. In the Kyle Kushman theory you want to keep the top 3-4 nodes on each branch that reaches your top canopy and remove everything else. He really goes to town on defoliation so I wouldn’t worry to much about over doing it. Lol check out Kyle Kushman Super Cropping on YouTube or Google. There is one video out there he trims a large plant and explains what and why he does what he does and it’s really informative for defoliation. Really good guy to watch for info on a lot of things regarding cannabis cultivation. Hope this helps, cheers 💨

Honestly, if you trim much more, you won't have any plant left at all!
Removing too many/more leaves will further reduce your plants ability to produce the energy she needs, to be able to grow her flowers.
As someone who grows as naturally as possible and only ever uses LST as a technique and never defoliates, not even one leaf, seeing plants like this is quite confronting for me!
Cheers and good luck with your grow! ,.......

From the way your week 7 pics look compared to the way your latest look, you've done a clean job in my opinion. now mostly just sit back and let them work. be selective and get leaves that have long stems or the ones covering good sites..
looking dang good so far

What leaves are ok to remove?Hi! Is it fine to remove the upper fan leaves on this plant as well or should I wait thill the side branches get bigger leaves? I removed the lowers leaves after LST so nothing touches the soil, but some of them are blocking a bit light for the new growth. Thanks!

DefoliateI asked a week ago whether or not to defoliate my plants and was advised to leave them be. But it's looking like where flowers are forming is being impeded by the larger fan leaves, so I suppose same question should I trim these or am I too late now flowers are coming. Thanks

Defoliated 2 fan leaves - pre flowering! :(I've just removed 2 big fan leaves that were potential light blockers.
I've just read that defoliating when flowering can stress the plant and reduce yield.
The first pistels have appeared in the last few days and I only removed two leaves.
Is it likely I've ruined it?Techniques. Defoliation

Flower trimmingI've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? Thanks

Trimming around buds pre week 14I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago3 years ago

Defoliation of all large fan leavesWhen defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase?
Any links that include pics would be appreciated.
