I would do mote of a selection trimming and pruning. You go too much and will change your results for less yield

It's totally up to you lots of growers strip the bottom smaller branches off it will ensure everything is getting to the bigger buds rather than the plant using energy on the lower smaller buds also remove any leaves blocking out light 🙏💚

My buds dry up really quick on the outside to a crisp when drying and the stem is still bendable… I have no fan on them and they are in a cabinet when drying. I think I am losing a lot from this, how do I prevent this?

Removing big fan leaves Last night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?
