Nice but you probably didn't have to pull leave this early but plants are tough

Do you actually know what leaves do for a plant this size?

I do. I'm not totally new to this just a little rusty and kind of experimenting with the 2 shorties. I left my other one alone.

Cool just making sure. New growers see YouTube and IG stars stripping plants so they think it’s beneficial to do the same too.
I don’t touch nothing myself until they are ready to go into the flower room, then I’ll remove branches and lollipop as needed prior to flipping to 12/12

Not sure what the aim is here.
You seem to have removed leaves and not growth shoots?
Plus instead of just pulling them down so they pull off clean you've cut them?
Is there method to this madness?
What made you do this?

That is a good question. Sometimes i pluck em, sometimes clip.what's wrong with this
Aside from leaving alittle of the leaf stem i have never noticed a difference

I remember you implying that removing them made no difference
Blanket statements eh lol

no harm no foul here. might as well lollipop it all tho instead of leaving some growth down low that isnt getting and wont get direct light.
not sure what the plan is, but i shape mine similarly. 4 in a 4x4. keep em low and flat with several nodes, veg for another 2 weeks or so from the size in your pic until they each mostly fill a 2x2 space, then throw em under 2 net layers and flip. lollipop again after week 2 or 3 of flower depending on strain, and sit back and watch the show

Well they literally pull off clean so it seemed an odd way to go about it.what's wrong with this
I suppose a wound is a wound though so probably makes no difference.
Just never seen anyone do it, let alone just for the hell of it.
