Is it too late too remove more leaves and branches of a lower plant canopy? I did some 3 days ago.
Growing has stopped, just 2nd week of flowering stage.
Your plant will need every healthy green leaf it has, to produce the energy she needs, to grow her biggest and best flowers.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
It is that simple!
I reckon you could give her a bit of a trim. Any of the big fan leaves that are not getting much light on the lowest levels could go. Along with any in the middle to let more light down into the lower canopy
