Looks pretty solid to me. Also looks like you aren't going to have to worry about too much if any larf. There isn't really not enough or too much in my opinion if it accomplishes what the grower was hoping to accomplish. Except for some really extreme cases where people remove every single leaf and then wonder why she didn't bulk up. Lol

Looks good! Get some support on them or they will flop against the tent wall. I just tie a string around the whole plant in a pinch. They kind of counterbalance each other. Look into putting a net in there for the next grow to make it easier on you. Easy net is drilling out some 3/4 pvc 90s and sliding them right onto your tent polls. Cut 3/4 pvc to fit in-between and string up some 3" squares. Nice work

Personally I like to leave some fan leaves on it. Was that done recently or earlier in veg?

Personally I think that's way too much. The leaves are the source of energy for the plant and you don't get more after stretch. What you didn't pull off looks burnt on the tips and edges. Hope they last the rest of the grow.

Reminds me of the partially shaved poodle that my neighbor had. I’d have advised you to keep the leaves on, but remove the lower growing shoots to avoid larf, but still keep the leaves for their photosynthetic ability. Also, the plant will have that stored food and extra leaves to cannibalize, giving you some warning that an issue is starting to occur down below.

Welp - at least there is plenty of room to pee on it.
IMO you’re not losing out on worthwhile growth below your trim line……the buds u have should all be solid and worth trimming. The only thing I’d do different is leave some of the lower fan leaves…kind of a skirt of larger fans down below. I’ll pinch the bud sites off but leave some of the leaves.
I may be misguided, but I believe those leaves that I leave will give the plant some reserves and also soak up a lot of light, which helps the entire plant.

Looks good.
I've trimmed all leaves except those that are growing out of my buds on mine.

At this point it is to your preferance, if this is your first grow you’ll find out what works for you as your experiences will dictate what you do further. I don’t recommend lolipopping that way personally. I agree with those above, it is necessary to shed what would have been "larf", but the fan leaves that don’t interfere with your main bud sites could have stayed. I believe that they don’t do harm and instead of the plant focusing on healing its wounds from the pruning of both leaves and buds, it could have retained full focus on the main flowers. Just my thoughts.
