Trimming
Should I trim off the sun leaves since my plant is so frickin dense. I’m assuming that the light isn’t making its way down enough. I just don’t want to cut off something that could hurt my growth.

Defoliación en la 6ta semana de floración??
Note que las plantas tenían mucha vegetación no llegaba nada de luz a la parte baja de las ramas y algunos pequeños cogollo se estaban poniendo color amarillo, decidí arriesgarme y hacer una gran defoliación en esta etapa. Creen que pueda causar algún problema??

Defoliation before harvesting
Hello, I hope some more experience grower would be able to give me a good advice. I’m in week 9 and planning to harvest at the end of week 11. Do you think that defoliating my girls would be a good idea? Should I take all big fan leaves? 🤔

Pre-flower defoiliation
I flipped my lights to 12/12 about 4 days ago and I don't believe I done a well enough job on defoiliating. The plants are healthy but the canopy looks a little crowded. Can I defoiliate now or should I wait until the pre flower stretch is finish

Cut off leaves for better bud development?
I saw some diaries where plants have nearly no leaves and produce a nice amount of good looking buds. Is it recommended to cut of most of the leaves at the end of flowering, that the energie goes into bud development?

Defoliate/Prune or let it be?
Should I prune any of these leaves or just let it go au naturel? If so what should I prune? I’d hate to kill it by removing something I shouldn’t.

Trimming
My plant is dense, all of the stems and flowers are close to the stalk. I was wondering if trimming all of the sun leaves to make room for sunlight would be a good idea, I don’t want to hurt my plant.
