This the bad boy. So what should do? If I'm supposed to trim it how do I do it?

It’s a girl. Sorry. Pluck a few of the inner leaves that are blocking light lightly.

Oh yeah of course it's a girl. I would be very sad if after all this work it's a boy. Just an expression
I saw some pictures of people shaving the whole plant leaving only bud sites and the leaves surrounding them. Is this an option at the moment?

I wouldn’t do that at all.

So without plucking lots of leaves I will still get yield? Also how much left for harvest do you think?

If I plucked any would only be the lower half of the plant. I would also ease up on the nitrogen. Looks like the start on nitrogen toxicity. Also looks like 6-8 weeks left if not longer

And better off just tucking the leaves instead of plucking off. Plant will need them later in life

wow,Kyle Kushman would have a field day right up the center of those stalks! I like to see the stalks in plain view ,then I know air can easily flow up through the center of the plant.Those tons of little leaves are blocking the air.Plus if they were gone their energy would be used better.Your plants do look great anyway.Google Kyle vids he is a master grower,he invented Kushman Chiropractics it's crazy what he does but the yield and quality speaks volumes.I start pruning bottom branches off when there are seven sets.Later when it gets bushy I use leaf tucking alot but don't remove them unless necessary.I'm no xpert lol,but I have read alot online since AOL started! check U-tube Mr.Kanucks grow worth watching.jus say'n
p.s. I would,nt remove much now it could cause stress or even stop flowering,

people grow for different reasons,like the love for something alive.some just for the most yield for medicine and or party supplies 
some people act like they love the plant but without knowing they harm it by touching the leaves to feel the texture or something. if you look very closely at the leaves you'll see a million tiny hairs that are very fragile and important to the plants health. when they,re ready right before the lights come on i turn the green bulb on and cut the plants off at the soil and take them to the hanging chamber. they hang in the dark for 5 or 6 days with light airflow. i cure the buds for 4 weeks and voila

when the bottom fans are dying curling and your tension is rising and the trich,s are good& cloudy unplug the light for about 48 hours (total darkness-no light)then it may be ready to cut&dry, just my opinion.

Great point I shut up now
Also will I see more white dots (resin?) as I get closer to harvest? Id really like to make hash

Yes, you'll see more trichomes, and closer to harvest, the trichomes will sort of juice up and stand tall. Here is a good post about signs of ripeness to look for https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/a-guide-on-when-to-harvest.666373/Great point I shut up now
