Go ahead and cut the lowest branches. They they will amount to nothing and the airflow will improve, reducing the risk of mold. Also less tops mean they will be bigger

LollipoppingThe plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?Week 5

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

Defoliation in SCRoG - Leave it or do it?Tomorrow will be day 21 of 12/12. I am of the opinion of letting the plant canabilise itself for nutes that are stored for exactly what it needs, when it needs *which it is doing on the low/no light leaves but what are other peoples opinions/experience. Canopy is as healthy as!Leaves. Dropping off
