No trimming needed. You would be rewarded greatly for adding a couple more CFL's.
Now that you're flowering, its going to start to stretch (get taller). It will probably end up twice as tall as it is right now. And the lower half of the plant will be too far from the light and won't stay green or make any buds. A couple CFL's on the side would be well worth the cost.
And adding some more soil to the pot its in, or putting it in a bigger pot would really benefit you as well. But nice healthy looking plant. Way to grow.

Looks good...what you can do is drill some holes/or tie a cord around to anchor ties, around the upper pot rim and tie the plant to open up any light deficient areas...... plus that helps start new tops from lower branches.... Luck...

No trimming is needed all though i do take the bottom 5 ince of stems and leaves off.lollypoping the plant will force growth where it is needed at the very top where it will produce the fruites of your labour.

Yeah. I used to trim my fan leaves to get better light penetration, but they just grow back anyway, and the plant is using energy to grow them back, and this energy is better used to produce bud.

The plants look fine just one thing that i would do and that is take the bottom 6 ince of leaf's off even the smaller brance's.This will force the plant to kick out growth in the top section where it counts,where the buds will be at there dencest.Keep the lighting has close has you can to make sure that the internodes are close to each other then when the buds form you will get one big cola.If you are only in the first week during week two take the tops of so that you will get two buds instead of the one i do this on more than one top has well giveing me more buds.Don't forget to flush your soil about once every 2 week with water set at 5.0/5.5 this realy does give the plant a far better chance of produceing big buds.On the final flush put some new made nutrients in this way you know that the ph of the nutrients are bang on.I flush once a week during flowering but depends how lazy you want to be.But i flush and get my nutrients in at the same time this way i know that the feed that i am putting in is bang on and i only water once a week.Since i have done this i call it the greenhouse way my yeilds have increased 10 fold,Got the advice from the greenhouse stand in amsterdam so who am i to argue.
