After I switch 12/12

It is only day three under 12-12 lighting but my question is, can I still trim the plant or should I completely leave her alone at this point?

I trimmedbefore switching but I keep finding smaller branches that aren’t getting any light that I do badly want to cut but I’m nervous now that I switched to flower even though there are no flowers yet.

Well you can do a bit of defoliation but i wouldnt do much save the bigger defoliation for like week 2 of flower and I mean after the buds start showing up not just after the flip

I try to avoid trimming until the stretch is over (week 3 of 12/12). After that, I don’t do any trimming.

Defoliate the stuff that is not getting light. Let it rip!

I generally do not defoliate until they hit flower. I clean them up perpetually in flower until about week 5 and then i let those rip.

but if its 2 feet below the lights it will be larf...clean it up
