I don't see marijuana as a drug, but as it is seen as a drug under federal law, anything I say that may seem, look or be about marijuana or any drug is totaly fictional and should not be takn literally bc anything drug related is a lie and not truthful. I don't smoke, grow, own or put myself around any type of drug. Idk what I'm tlkn about, drugs r bad so everything I say is a joke and to be takn as such.

Trim trim away. You want to expose any parts where there are a lot of big old leaves that are over lapping. Especially with indicas or bushy strains you're gonna find spots where there might be up to 5 leaves or more just stacked on top of each other, especially in the middle of the plant. I like to pull off all these leaves but make sure to use your thumb nail to cut off the whole petiole, if you actually pull them off you can strip off the outer bark from the main stem and this can damage the branches.
I used to be hesitant to trim but am steadily learning how big of a difference good pruning and low stress training make to yields. I have been starting to clear out all unnecessary leaves so that the middle of my plants are exposed to light, this develops a lot of smaller popcorn nugs, I also strip everything off of the bottom 6-8 inches of the plant. About 5-6 weeks in sometimes I go in a cut off all the bottom popcorn nugs and middle nugs, this way I'm still getting bud out of the bottom parts of the plant but towards the end of the cycle the plant focuses its energy into the top buds. (It also gives some early harvest bud with high THC and an up high)
Good pruning is essential, and for clones if you bonsai your plants which means stripping it down to everything except the tips of the branches and them FIM'ing the top you will see plants with better branching and form, it also reveals the true size of the plant because the big leaves make it seems a lot bigger than it is.
